Looks like Master Kazunori Ito is back...!

[magoo]

A Batwing.

I'm amazed.

I think Mr. Ito may have few equals when it come to creative variety. What an imagination!

A few "in-sim" shots. Wish I could put a shine on it, but the textures don't allow that, they become transparent if you add an alpha.

Ladies & Germs,
Here is the link to FDE's for Ito's Mi-12 'Homer', for both FS9 and FSX (seperate zips). His dynamics were GOOD this time (must of got help-hehe), but I wanted spoiler, flaps, and floats, so I made these FDE's. Hope you like.

*There is one thing you must do. Change 'panel=hjaF' to 'panel= ' (ie: blank). Sorry about that. In FSX if panel is 'wrong' the model won't show/load, so this 'mistake' really haunts me (do it every time-hehe). Please read the 'Readme_cb' for info, tips, etc. Thanks again Kaz. Nice job.

At Itosan's admission his gauges will not work in fsX. I verified that statement when I installed it in fsX Gold. Has anyone come up with a replacement gauge set?

[napamule]

No, I don't have no stinking gauges (hehe). But, I DO have a 'Works in FSX' PANEL, by HJ Altman, called 'jet' panel. Case closed. I also have a video of BatWing in FSX (looks/works the same in FS9). I made it VTOL and it flys like a charm. No 'heavy' trim pitch or trottle adjusting required. In fact the model SEEMS to have 'built in' pitch trim. With Ito panel in FS9, click 'Z' key to activate AutoPilot (but don't set alt or vert speed) and you will notice pitch trim 'follows' your elevator. Ha! That Ito is a funny guy.

That's no problem, run it through MDLC and there you have it as shiney as you want!

Ok, thanks for the HU. . . .however. . . ."run it through MDLC" means nothing to me. I'm not familiar with that program and the only one I could find (a beta version) would not load in Windows7 64bit.

I am very glad to see that Ito-sama is back. There are very few prolific Japanese designer in the community, so it's a big pleasure to see him return.

お帰りなさい、先生。(^_^)ノ

[Shessi]

Hi Falcon,
Unfortunately no, MDLC is a 32bit DOS based prog and won't run on a 64bit OS. You could install a 32bit OS within 'Virtual Machine', but that's a lot of messing around. If you have an old laptop or anything running a 32bit OS, that would be the easiest answer.

Cheers

Ivan Hsu talked of doing a 64bit version, but not to date.

I went looking for Mr. Itos Batplane and ran upon this

After you fill out the required blanks you can download the plane. However should you upgrade your download
they will charge it on your credit card. Since I don't have a card I got out of there. Does this sound like Payware to
you? Note: I got it at Flightsim.

Just a quick WIP. . . . .There just has to be a Black BatWing, lol.

There sure does, looks strange in silver. How long will it take you? LOL!
