Updated 18-DEC-2022 to include missing Panel folder & contents
This is a revision of Akemi's A6M3b model 22 Zero for CFS 2. The model has been tweaked with a blue/green glass colour & slight changes to sheen using MDLmat. A dull camo sheen model is supplied for these later camouflaged planes.
The airfile only has a description changed to read in English. The textures have been redrawn to try & match the stock textures in appearance, & depict a variety of aircraft at different times throughout their active service.
The textures supplied are: W1-108 Aircraft from 201ku, based at Kahili, September 1943. Pilot Takeo Okumura.
T2-112 Aircraft from 204ku, based at Kahili, June-July 1943. Pilot Matsuo Hagiri.
U1-105 Aircraft from 251ku, based at Rabaul, May 1943.
53-157 Aircraft from 253ku, based at Tobera airfield in the Rabaul area of New Britain, circa September 1943.
The 2D panel bitmap has been made WIN 7+ friendly. I combined the OH stock 2D panel with Akemi's VC panel view, & improved the resolution of the VC view instruments.
The aircraft.cfg contact points have been adjusted to allow belly landings (thanks Skylane), & the airfile optimised for improved AI formation flight & a more accurate flight range.
The dp file makes use of kelticheart's exhaust effects. It makes use of Allen's Japanese bombs, & Thicko's D4Y2 wing pylons. I converted it to read in English instead of Japanese.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.
Thanks to: Akemi for a great series of multi-LOD aircraft.
Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+.
Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes.
Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
A familiarity with installing scenery into CFS2 is required. Once this project is installed via the Scenery Library. the user will have much enhanced shorelines. Lakes and Major rivers are also included. This water is true CFS2 water, with most of the added areas available for floatplanes and boats.
The area covered is East Russia, North Asia, and China.
