fuc.king inglish, I dont speak good!

tradusca alguien esto!
NECESITO QUE ME DIGAN, SI EL DETALLE QUE HAY EN EL TREN DE ATERRISAJE (el que esta marcado con un circulo rojo) ES:
A)DE COLOR ROJO Y AMARILLO
B) TRICOLOR(AZUL ROJO AMARILLO)
C) AZUL ROJO

need this information, to repaint the texture!

:isadizzy::isadizzy:

[Pops]

Maxstuka,

I think the markings on the fairing Red/Yellow/Blue was a visual indicator of hydraulic/pneumatic pressure in the gear strut. Red = Low, etc.

[Maxstuka]

Maxstuka,

I think the markings on the fairing Red/Yellow/Blue was a visual indicator of hydraulic/pneumatic pressure in the gear strut. Red = Low, etc.

yeah, but why any have a red-blue, and others red-yellow-blue?

for example in this pictures, are tricolors, but in the standar CFS2 models, the A6M2 AND M5 have red-blue, not yellow!why?

I dont see, nothing pressure gear strut picture of the UI-106, I dont know what is the correct and real for this!
I like repaint skins in most posible reallity,for respet of the pilots souls!

what do you belive, that the white model repaint UI-106 can has?

THE TRICOLOR? OR only blue-red?

[Maxstuka]

NEW DATE JEJEJE

SEE THIS OLD PICTURE
http://www.warbirdphotographs.com/NavyBWZeros/A6M3-M22-3.jpg

A6M3 MODEL 22 IN WHITE!
I SEE, A POSIBLE RED-YELLOW!

WHAT DO YOU SINK OR SEE?

[Hern07]

I can not add much, but on some photos I have seen those same THREE colors painted on the prop tips. These were carrier based Zero's. Wish I could be of more help. Has anyone seen them on any plane besides a Zero? Your English is a lot better than my Spanish.

[TARPSBird]

Max,
Here are two pics from different times in the war. One shot is an A6M2 aboard a carrier, the other is an A6M5. Both appear to have the red-yellow-blue strut marking. I think you could use this marking on UI-106 and be accurate.

[vidal]

This 3 stripes marking seems to be a standard marking for any Zero variantes ... but I do not know what it was used for.
It can be seen on almost every picture from the book "A6M Zero in Action" from Squadron Signal. But the usage is not explained.

[wolfi]

I thing, I read sometimes ago, that this are loading weight indicator’s, because the mark’s are between the upper and lower gear part.

wolfi

[Jaxon]

On the pic with the circle, the blue part is just hidden behind the lower cover because of the compressed dampers.

Probably because the plane has full fuel tanks when the pic was taken.

Actually the blue stripe is even a bit wider than the others.

[miamieagle]

Busca aqui I mira si lo puedes encontrar aqui http://www.j-aircraft.com/index.htm:ernae:

[oldwheat]

Maxstuka: No cosa grande pero el modelo un su perfil es un modelo 32 "Hamp"; con las alas acortadas, no un modelo 22.

[bub]

Just in case......
The stripes appear to be a gauge for the travel of the oleo strut. The lower door panel slides over the stripes on the upper one. Possibly used to gauge the weight of the aircraft for loading. I would suppose that this would be a feature common to all factory aircraft.

Maxstuka: No cosa grande pero el modelo un su perfil es un modelo 32 "Hamp"; con las alas acortadas, no un modelo 22.

NO! is a model 22!, others UI squad are in green! but all are model 22! search in internet about UI-106!

[Maxstuka]

THANKS ALL, FOR COOPERATION!

I have problems to calibrate the gun circle black, but I am fiting it, and next only need work the damage texture!. this is a picture, but the gun circle on the wings are desfaced!.
I like this skin, is for mi the most beutifull zero, because it has the tradition white color of the A6M2 but more power motor and yellow in wings are very impresive look.I sink that are the last zeros in white color, I dont see a A6M5 in white!.

[miamieagle]

I think it looks great!:ernae:

Buen Trabajo Amigo!:ernae:

[Maxstuka]

The model is upload!.
Test the .air and the performance of the aircraft, because I test with others stock models but I am not safe if it surpasses to a6m2 in game.

A6M2: 240-242kts aprox at 3500ft
A6M3: 240-245kts aprox at 3500ft
A6M5: 250kts aprox at 3500ft

you can maintain the airplane in 3500ft and test firt with the A6m2 and next with A6m3, if the A6m3 give a 245 the airfile is good!

This is a real comparative Zero:

--------Speed--Cruise--Max-----
A6m2:-330mph---415---622-----
A6m3:-336mph---418---626-----
A6m5:-351mph---436---654-----

The model 22 is cool, because it has a little more speed and ceiling than the A6m2 is the best in 1942.There are varius white skins than green.The engine is pure without exhaust pipes like in the A6m5

http://www.afwing.com/images/zero/action/cowl21-32.jpg

somebody can creates to.air alternative, in case that mine is bad?

[Jaxon]

The M.22 was made out of the M.32, but had again the earlier wings of the M.21, note the "clipped wings"

[Maxstuka]

I like mix the model 22 with the 21! and yeah the 22 is a one update version of the 21 with clipped wings and new engine nakajima sakae 21 this changes give it a little more performance!.

[Maxstuka]

Yeah, the .air need fix!
I test 3 zero at 3500ft in lineal fly

A6m2:244kts
A6m3:244kts-----this is equal than the A6m2 is error
A6m5:252kts

the A6m3 need 248kts!

[miamieagle]

Thank you Maxstuka!

Gracias Maxstuka!

[Maxstuka]

Thank you Maxstuka!

Gracias Maxstuka!

Yeah but, need fix this error!,I sink that somebody will can fixing!
at the moment have that to hope!

[Tango_Romeo]

Yeah, the .air need fix!
I test 3 zero at 3500ft in lineal fly

A6m2:244kts
A6m3:244kts-----this is equal than the A6m2 is error
A6m5:252kts

the A6m3 need 248kts!

...per your request, I will work-over the AIR file tonight, as I can tell that you want it to be correct in every aspect. The differences in performance between the 2, 3 and 5 were relatively small in speed and ceiling. Range was the biggest difference, I think.

Yeah!, the performance is equal than the A6m2, but a little speed, more ceiling and minor range!

A6m3
Max. Speed: 336mph (561 km/h) at 19,685ft
Ceiling: 36,250 ft. (11,050m)
Range : 1,000 miles
Range With droptank: 1,640 miles

A6m2
Max speed: 331 mph @ 14,930 ft
Ceiling: 32,810 ft
Range: 1,160 miles
Range with drop tanks: 1,930 miles

basically, if the A6m3 have 248kts in lineal fly at 2000/3500tf, the air file is perfect

ThANKS Tango!people also thank to you for this!.

[Bill Kestell]

Nice, Max, very, very nice indeed. Muchas gracias!

[Tango_Romeo]

....and let me know.

The left main gear on my A6M3 is having a problem on retraction. It begins to close, then pops back open and then closes normally. Has anyone else seen this?

[Maxstuka]

it is necessary that the webmaster, removes a6m3
that i upload, because i am changing several archives
with the help of tango romeo, in order to improve it to the best performance.

when it finishes improving i return it to upload again

[Jagdflieger]

It should be removed soon.

Looking forward to the updated version.

I have a conversion of A6m2,
I like to modify the engine to make a A6m1, but I do not know who make airplanes, neither I have a good PC, or walks to me low autocad.
If you have interest in the model to modific, I can send the aircraft in Fsds-2 format!

About A6m3 is a old convertion, the only to fix the bug is that archisoft make a new conversion!

Hi All,

the MDLC V4 have debug some animation problem
and I could re-convert A6M2/ A6M5 to *.fsc for FSDS2/FSDS3

I have no more time to fix this A6M3 model,
so if someone that is FSDS modeler want to modify/merge/fix this A6M serials
I would like to send the *.fsc to him/her?

but just for only one person...
this one should be SOH member agreement...:ernae:

Your work is well appreciated in this community!:wavey:

[Jagdflieger]

A little trivia on the A6M5 exhaust stacks. Notice that they are placed radially around the cowling and that they don't all dump into one exhaust stack like the previous models. In trying to squeeze out the last bit of performance from the Zero, the designers used these stacks to actually provide a small measure of thrust from the high pressure exhaust gas when the engine was at high manifold pressure.

Although the A6M2 and A6M5 FSC files from Ivan will load and display in FSDS2.24, and they will actually produce a working aircraft for CFS2, I cannot find any way to manipulate or change the FSC files in any way. I have created part files and lists. The parts will load, but will not display....except for their axes. I'm stumped. :isadizzy:

Unless I find a solution to this, the grand plan of producing a full-line of Zeros for CFS2 just ain't gonna happen. :weightlifter:

They already hung Gator on me in '62, but when I turned Seminole in '74 that had to go. :amen:

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get promoted from a Semi-Nole to a regular Nole. It seems that this is almost as hard as making it to Col. from LC....before retirement. :costumes:

The poor Zero-Sen is long overdue for a good set of overhauls...including correcting the one-sided textures. Perhaps we can do something about that...with a little persistence.

IF I can make it work, the first one on my list is the A6M3 Type 32 Hamp. :gossip:

Now where are the normally plentiful 'skinners' when I need them? :faint:

I am able to modify and create new Zero fighter types from Ivan's extracted MDLC objects in FSC format. :applause:

It is an arduous process with a fairly steep learning curve, but I'm moving along between FSDS2 and 3. :jump:

I have succeeded in producing the A6M3 from the A6M2 file without the gear animation bug.

However, she is a long, long way from finished as the MDLC extractions do not come with the DVC or LOD models....so the task of creating those remains. My understanding of the process is far, far behind Ivan's.:faint:

[miamieagle]

Can you incorporate a wep in this new Zekes. They did had that capability for extra power that has never been incorporated into any Zero that I know of in the Sim World.

Thank you!

...the Mitsubishi plant, and they asked me to fly the new A6M3 Type 32 without those pesky folding wingtips....so the beat goes on. :weightlifter:

The Allies want to call her a HAP, but General Arnold took offense, so she's known as a HAMP. What the hell is a HAMP anyway? :woot:

She kinda looks like a FW190 with those cipped wings. :gossip:

[Tango_Romeo]

I have succeeded in creating a MDL file from one of Ivan's MDLC Object files in FSC format WITHOUT A LANDING GEAR ANAMOLY. So the original question has been answered: You don't have to tolerate a funky left main gear animation in one of these extraction projects. :kilroy:

I'm rather happy with the initial result of creating an A6M3 Type 32 Hamp from a A6M2, which involved removing the folding wingtips and associated parts and adding a standard wingtip cap along with a resizing of the ailerons. And I am now working to see if I can LOD it...though the frame rates are so high it may not need LODs. I've already got a basic VC installed. The skin is an old one loaded here at SOH representing the aircraft based at Rabaul. :jump:

This is a fun excercise and learning experience rather than an attempt to create another Hamp, when there are already two very fine ones available from Akemi and Lindell. But I am having some fun in the process. :applause:

If I continue to have success, I will produce some serious variations of the Zero-Sen....should there be any that have not already been done one too many times. :typing:

Many thanks to Ivan for making the project possible. :medals:

[Tango_Romeo]

...featuring her new slimline cowling. :engel016:

[O-1Driver]

Hey Guys,

Great thread, I don't know if this correct for the Zero but many of the aircraft I have flown have gas charged oleo struts that regulate the gear extension. This is in addition to the hydraulic dampening.

I have known of mechanics looking at a loaded aircraft and over inflating or "topping off" the oleo strut during maitenance, beyond spec.

If a stut is over inflated the gear retract mechanism may not be strong enough to overcome the over inflated strut and fully retract the gear. We had a Bellanca Viking experience this after an annual inspection, took off and could not retract the gear. It is possible that there are very small placards on the oleo giving maximum and minimum PSI along with a description of the color bands that indicate compression at certain gross weight loading.

I browse the CFS 2 forum alot as I still have my install, just don't post here often.

Best Regards
Steve

Ok tango!, not problem! I not understand the referens about who make aircraft!.
I am agree with the model 22 that I upload, and your 32 are nice!.
I don`t need for the moment , the models to rework, because I am not simmer.
it is really difficult to contact, to speak, and much more to translate the tutorials to me.
I walk with an Internet translator,something that clears time.
Is often by the "simpleza", are understood bad what treatment to speak
thanks to the perseverance and patience of varius users.
I could learn:
who manipulate, Textures,.air.cfg.dp files,and add or erase shine in the model, AND more about the big history of aviation.

Check your mail. You get to test the partially done A6M3 Type 22 with the fixed landing gear and partial DVC. I will expect a full report by morning. :173go1: :costumes:

Did you even notice that the landing gear problem is gone? :isadizzy:

I suggest you get a copy of FSDS and join Graciela in taking charge of the project, as it is obvious that I am as incapable of satisfying you as you are ignorant of the processes involved here.:faint:

No good deed goes unpunished... :banghead:

[DauntlessDriver546]

Yo Tango...

Looks great! Everything looks wonderful! The landing gear problem being fixed is a big plus!

I'll take it, whatever you got.... 'cause it all looks good to me!

[Tango_Romeo]

Yo Tango...Looks great! Everything looks wonderful! The landing gear problem being fixed is a big plus!

...both the corrected Type 22 and the Type 32. Trying to get enough time in to make them acceptable.

There are still some things to be done with the VC and some texture anomalies in a few polygons.

[Maxstuka]

Yeah, the landing gear is fixed! is done

have fever and I am polished physically!:faint:

[archisoft]

Tango,

required a CFS2 stock A6M2 VC model?

[Tango_Romeo]

Tango,

required a CFS2 stock A6M2 VC model?


....Yes, that's exactly what I need. :wave:

[Blue Devil]

While Y'all get your .mdl stuff sorted out...

...these are all A6m5_OH.mdl conversions (ex. for the first one which is an A6M2_OH for comparison)

In order:
A6m2b mod 21
A6M3 mod 32
A6M3a mod 22 early
A6M3a mod 22
A6M3a mod 22A late (Type 99-II 20mm Cannon)
2xA6M3/3A exhaust stack (Cowl flaps Closed/Open)
A6M3

W/ all the Stock FR friendly, ...3Dcockpit, ...and 1% spreadsheet stuff ta'boot.

[Tango_Romeo]

...an upgraded version of Maxi's A6M3_Zero that corrects the landing gear glitch in the original. It should be available for download tomorrow. :ernae:

For convenience the download will contain the complete aircraft ready to drop into your CFS2/Aircraft folder. It has been renamed: A6M3_22. This is to diffferentiate it from the original and from the forthcoming A6M3_32. :engel016:

[Jagdflieger]

Thanks Bulldog... er, I mean TR. Good news.

[Tango_Romeo]

Yes, I finally uploaded the A6M3 Type 32 Hamp. Got the VC done the easy way...thanks to Archisoft. :faint:

Should be available for download tomorrow.....:engel016:

[Tango_Romeo]

Thanks Bulldog... er, I mean TR. Good news.

...CONVERSION? Wash your mouth out with soap, You Bad Boy! :kiss:

So what's an A6M5_OH? We don't need no stennnkin' OHs.....do we? :wave:

An _OH is B24Guy's excellent upgrade to the stocker A6M2/5 A/C .mdls.

With DXTBmpx using the alpha channel it is possible to remove the exhaust stacks, gun bbls., and wing tips to convert the -5 back to a -3 (same cowl/engine).

...use the 1% -2 or -3 .dp as a base for damage and the 1% -3 spreadsheet for the .air file.

...add love (and lard), ...and voila...


Lookin' forward to tryin' your new mount there TR, ...thanks.

(hope the FR's and 3D cockpit stack up...)

[Tango_Romeo]

B-24 Guy's 'reworked' Zero's are nice as are those by Akemi and a couple of other talented and hardworking folks. The fact that they exist caused me to question why I would want to do 'just another Zero'. :wiggle:

Of course, this all started as an effort to fix a landing gear problem on Maxi's
A6M3 Type 22, and evolved into a project exploring the possibilities of using source files extracted from MDL files with MDLC to produce bug-free variants of the design. That was a mouthful! :kilroy:

And it works, though there is a learning curve, and some issues that haven't as yet been resolved. However, Archisoft probably has the answers tucked away somewhere. :ernae:

[Maxstuka]

Tango! I don´t Understand, Why your update of Zero Model 22 have a engine of A6M2 ?
:173go1::blind::jawdrop:
And why Blue Devil, say "bla bla" but not upload the B24Guy's models, that He has in the pictures!
:monkies:

[Blue Devil]

...And why Blue Devil, say "bla bla" but not upload the B24Guy's models, that He has in the pictures!
:monkies:

Well...

...I "bla bla" but don't Up-load because:

1. I like to "bla bla"...
2. The skins that I have modified are not my own, ...and I would need the permission of the original authors to be able to U/L to the general public.

(beta testors, ...however, ...may PM me...)


If you D/L the 1% A6M3 from "netwings.org", ...you will find the origin of my inspiration.

It looks a lot like this, ...but not as good. (the green is "alpha channel")

jajaja, I respet you! , Simetimes I make to brief expression! "Easy basic speak inglish".
thanks for the answer! it sounds logical
:engel016:
I sink that this mdl file that you have, are the best! very complet.
Is posible replace for the A6m3 M22 that I upload!.
Finally the idea is win the best stock A6m3 for cfs2, and enjoy combats!
:wave:

[Tango_Romeo]

Variety be the spice of life! :friday:

Otherwise we'd all be wearing little gray suits and driving little gray cars...like Ralph Nader. :barf:

CAN YOU erase the fix version of A6m3 model 22?, because it´s not the model 22!.
I see a A6m2 model 21!.

[Tango_Romeo]

...is a Work-In-Progress. The aircraft MDLs are derived from Ivan's MDLC Object files. This type of file proves to be very complicated to work with in FSDS3.0 and 2.24...about 400% more difficult than a normal FSC file. For that reason, there will be a number of ongoing upgrades as the progress is slow, and compromises have to be made in some areas. :running:

There are newer versions of both the A6M3_22 and the 32 in process. I am fairly obsessive about my projects, and am moving toward the end-product of these aircraft one version at a time. So in the meanwhile, I hope everyone can enjoy the interim versions. :wave:

[Tango_Romeo]

I just uploaded the final version of the A6M3_22 that I will do. It has been multi-LODed and had some other details added. Should be up tomorrow. Enjoy! Now on to the final multi-LOD of the A6M3_32. :ernae:
If the Hamps don't get you, the Type 22s will.....:gossip:

[miamieagle]

Thank you Tango Romeo!:wavey::rapture::friday:

[Maxstuka]

what is multi-LODed?

[JapLance]

what is multi-LODed?

I think LOD means Levels Of Detail, and it means that in the same model file (.mdl in case of CFS2) there are several 3D models which are shown at different distances. So, when a plane is very close to the camera you will see a more detailed model, but when it's far away you don't need such detail and then a less-polygon model can be used. This way the CPU or GPU can handle more objects on screen.

I love multiLOD models, because they allow the game to handle more stuff at the same time. It's one of the main factors I take into account to decide which plane I will use if different options are available.

[Tango_Romeo]

...have been asking for de-mirrored textures, I'll see what I can do. But I have to tell hou that altering texture maps on this type of 'extracted' FSC file is terribly complicated. :isadizzy:

[Tango_Romeo]

...is aptly described by JapLance. In the screenie below you will see that within the A6M3_32 MDL file are in fact seven (7) separate models:

exterior - The fully detailed model.

VC - The model you see when in VC mode.

Detail, Shell, Origami, Generic and Distance models are progressively less detailed versions of the 'exterior' model that are displayed as distance increases. The Distance model may have as few as two polygons.

The fewer polygons to display the higher the frames per second and the more aircraft, etc. you can get in the picture without turning it into a slow slideshow.

Maxi wanted to know what it is so he could tell me how to do it. I really didn't want him to know, because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing...particularly with Maxi. :costumes:

Sacre bleu! This modeling stuff is complicated, Blackhawk. Walk faster, Pierre...I think I hear banjo music. :caked:

[archisoft]

Tango,

why do you remove the bullets and breaking parts from original A6M2.fsc?

[JapLance]

Maxi wanted to know what it is so he could tell me how to do it. I really didn't want him to know, because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing...particularly with Maxi. :costumes:


LOL My apologies then :engel016:.

[Tango_Romeo]

Tango,

why do you remove the bullets and breaking parts from original A6M2.fsc?

.... not remove the 'breaking' parts. They are still there: Nose, Engine, Wing, Fuselage and Tail.

I did remove the bullet holes and 'damaged' parts (the ragged edge stuff) for the sake of faster FPS.

If I leave all of that in after modifying a lot of parts and replacing them, the entire DP will have to be re-written because of part numbering changes that have occurred during the process.

Do you really think the bullet holes and ragged parts should be put back in? No one engaged in a dogfight sees these features anyway. :wavey:

[Maxstuka]

I sink that was it, but I am not familiarized with all abbreviations in English!.They do not forget that I speak Spanish
I am a little obcesive and treatment of being fast with the hobby cfs2 because is a game and I have 23 years olds and I am in personal war in order to ascending. the society is dangerous :karate:

Hi Dave,

Ummm, TR's post is 8 years old, way back in 2009.:biggrin-new:

You probably won't get a response, but I wish he was still active here too.

[No Dice]

OOPPS,
Somebody shoot me please :rocket:

Thanks for pointing that out CK
