Kawanishi H8K Emily
Hi Folks,
Just about finishing a re-vamp of an old FS2000 Emily. A great basic model back from 2002 by Aidan McCaffrey (thank you!), but no cockpit, VC etc. So added those, new crew, made multi-LOD, new texs and tweaks.
Also Stuart kindly did me/us a seaplane tender, the Akitsushima for CFS2. A new lick of paint and made it into some scenery to go with the Emily. Just bits and pieces to go.
Pics from FS9 but also doing a CFS2 version, and scenery.
Cheers
Shessi

Looking forwards to this one - great to see so many CBI/PTO additions being worked on lately ...
Wow! Can't wait for this one!
Keep it up!
Hi Shessi,
I had given up hope in ever seeing such a well made Emily for CFS2. Yep, I actually gave up.
This model will make my 2016 top ten list! Thank You!

Folks,
Please don't forget, the original model was made by Aidan McCaffrey, and I agree he made an cracking job of the external mdl, also the Emily is one good looking bird. I've just dragged it into the 21st. Funny though, in his original readme back in 2002(!), he states that he intends to make a VC etc for it....obvious the 'force' didn't stay with him..which is a shame really, as he was a good modeller.
And making it fully usable in CFS2 (always got to look after the boys in the basement!).
I've also made some scenery out of Stuart's Akitsushima seaplane tender, if I get time I'll make it destroyable, as it was sunk in an attack later on in the war.
Cheers
Shessi
Super like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I saw her at a museum when I was elementary grade kid in Tokyo, she is one of my favorite plane.
Thank you very much Shessi, Aidan McCaffrey, Stuart, and also all of those who are trying to enhance the world of CFS2 after 15 years since it was released.
I love you guys!!!!!

Yeah, man!
What a wonderful new bird!
Thank you Shessi and Aidan McCaffrey!
How much did the Short Sundy influence Kawanishi designers, or was it the other way around?

Kelti,
Good point. And yes the Japanese Army/Navy AF did experience the Sunderland before the war, and it must have made a point for them to have a large long-range flying boat, rather than just float-planes.
Guess what's might be next then.............
Cheers
Shessi
You can definitely see the influence of the Empire Class 'C' flying boat and Sunderland on the 'Emily'.
Another great original uplifted to the heights of todays expectations.
It says a lot about the folks in here that we tend to improve what we've already got, instead of immediately starting from scratch every time.
Hi Folks,
Just uploaded the CFS2 version of the Emily.
Cheers
Shessi
Thank you very much sir.

Is it just me or has the FS9 version been uploaded to CFS2 Warbirds, Japanese Aircraft?

All I see is the FS9 version Shessi.Originally Posted by Shessi
Shessi!
I, like many others, have been waiting and hoping that someone would do a rehab of this beautiful old flying boat!
Thanks!
