Hi again, been engrossed in the superb ultra pack 2.01 mod for il-2, so been away for a bit.
Fancied a bit of light entertainment again so got cfs2 going the other day, just for a change, am enjoying it.

I've got 2 nice Ki-45 Toryu's (Nick) in my game, the mz one and the fdg version.

The mz one is nice (like all his planes) and I've found new skins for it EXCEPT I can't seem to hit anything with the big cannon in the nose. I've tried firing high, low, middle and even got so close to a B-24 that I could have spoken to the tail gunner! It was impossible to miss - still my shots seem to go straight through it :redfire: anybody else has this problem?

The fdg Ki-45 is great; upward cannon works and 2 heavy mg's (I believe) in nose are nicely tuned in to the sight. HOWEVER I can't seem to find any new skins for this great plane. The default skin is pretty bland. Has anybody seen any?

Thanks.

FS,

I think the MZ will shoot low if using the 2d panel (center of the recticle) for aiming. The FDG panel.cfg is adjusted for this with the VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=2.5, 0.0, 0.0 entered in the [Views] section. You can edit in a [views] section into your MZ panel.cfg with the VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=2.5, 0.0, 0.0 entered into that section. This lowers the panel so that the sight is centered to the DP gun trajectory.

I haven't seen any skins done for the FDG Toryu either.

Thanks for that "O". I've copied how to do it to my notepad and popped it in with all the other good tips I've got from here! :salute:
