Akemi's Ki-43 is out!

Take my love, take my land / Take me where I cannot stand, I don't care, I'm still free / You can't take the sky from me.
Take me out to the black / Tell 'em I ain't comin' back.
Burn the land and boil the sea / You can't take the sky from me...
Great catch, Wulf190! :ernae:

In the file you will also find the dp files for the Hei and Otsu subtypes.

I did a little tweaking of the airfile....does anyone know how to create a "fixed pitch" propeller using AirEd?

My Dad's last words to me were, "Son, an eagle may soar to great heights, but a weasel never gets sucked into a jet engine..."
And then he died...

And I thought it was just ME !
I redid the original DP file [Akemi's is in Japanese, of course], and also tweaked his AIR file to be a little less "hot". Had to go back in and change the prop BACK to a 2 blade from a 3, tho - forgot that this was a VERY early IJA plane, and not a hot rod yet.
If one leaves the prop as a 2 blade AND wooden, I think it takes on the Fixed Prop persona...

Mr Bones: I exhausted the Simviation collection by downloading tons over the Holidays, and can't Wait for S-O-H's to come back on line. I need to re-download ALL of the new Pearl Harbor stuff after my recent meltdown !!

Thank you!
Nice.
A bit of research on the armament of the I version. Interesting read.

I tinkered down the gunstation line in the .dp and changed the 7.7s to 11 and the 12.7s to 18.4, the Jap 12.7 was roughly the same as an M2 .50. If you're a sharpshooter and have talent for deflection shots, you can do some damage with Akemi-San's new baby.

The Ki-43 IIIb should have been armed with two 20mm guns in the nose instead of the machineguns. According to Francillon, only two prototypes were built before the war was over.
There is a IIIb in Akemi Mizoguchi's website, but I never installed it.
SC, I'm on dialup, it's a pain for me, but I got 27 planes in the last 3 days, plus some missions and scenery. I want to get that complete 50 meg size Corsair collection, there are a few free wifi sites popping up. My little copcar computer has built in wifi.
I got a list of broken links, I hope some of those are restored. Shessi did some repaints of K&M's Ju-88 series I'd like that the links are broke, and I want to grab some more of the VB planes.
Sorry to hear about the meltdown. I hope you recovered the important stuff.

I got to dig into my Francillion and keep it a little handier. I was friends once with a man who was a gunner on a B-29, he said once they got to Japan there were several IIIBs they found had a sort of hodge podge field modification of one 20mm and one 12.7. This must be something history missed, though the research area at the AF Museum here is pretty exhaustive. He told me that the ones they examined seemed to have had shell ejection problems, which is consistent with a hasty, desperate sort of measure.
Thanks for the info!

They are not fixed, but a two blade variable piched metal propeller. You can simulate it puting a smaller value (0.9) at the aircraft.cfg file. About the guns, the DP are already made. I think we can use the old Northeastern Factory Ki-43-I as a patern to new skins. Hago Ki-43III cover both active versions: the "A" model with two 12.7mm machine guns and HA-115 engine with a two speed blower and the "B" version with two 20mm cannons and Kinsei engines (ONLY TWO BUILT). There's no report of Ki-43 planes camp modified for use one 20mm guns.

The Kawasaki Ki.61 won the bid...
Cool model site Peperez, thank you. I rarely do 1/72, 1/48 seems to be the standard, my favorite is 1/32 for planes, 1/35-1/24 for armor. There is a 1/32 scale Boomerang out there I want, and also a Beech Staggerwing balsa wood kit looks to be about 1/32.
I downloaded from one of our Japanese friends, I think it was Yoshi's site, the Ki-88 experimental fighter. This Ki-62 is an attractive plane, wonder if anyone is going to do one for CFS2.

In the works. Still needs weathering, etc. & upload permission. Does anyone have contact info for Akemi?
Very nice Oldwheat!!

...allows repaints and new skins. You need only to prepare a entry for aircraft.cfg and the skin.
