KI-67 easy to shoot down

Boy I noticed with the new Ki-67 that just a few hits from my 50 cal. and down she goes. Seems like she should be a little stronger but maybe not.
 
Took a look at the dp in Dped. It's an old, very basic dp - needs a lot of work to make it more realistic. My suggestion would be to take the dp from the OH Ki49 Helen & tweak it to fit...

...jump on in, the water's warm & the fish are (generally speaking) very friendly.. :jump::jump:

I used a DP and an airfile that are more realistic than the original one but they were built a long time ago. My intention is to upgrade them with the new tools avaiable, like Air Wrench.

Cheers

Think I'll do just that. Thanks!

I deleted everything in the Ki-67 DP file and replced it with the contents of the Ki-49's DP file.(Laugh) I'll tweak it later on but for now it takes the same amount of punishment as the Helen does (Obviously) before she goes down. Quick fix. :) Hey Uncle you're the one that gave me the idea. :)

Tweaked it just a tad. Removed the belly (Ventral) gun from the Peggy's DP. KI-67 doesn't have one like the Helen does.
 
Anyone getting a CTD whenever you splash an AI Ki67?

Been messing with the dp & airfile but didn't think my edits would cause such a CTD

(oh , and I've been splashing the paint to!)

Sorry to say Uncle but last time I was up against the Ki-67 I did not get a CTD when I splashed them. I like the repaint!
 
It's probably something I've done, I messed with the sound files as well, I think it needs a more robust noise from those 2000HP motors, so I was transferring & renaming some N1K2J George sounds & using a 2twin engine config file - probably calling for a mis-spelt crash sound or something.

I'll try it with the alias back in the sound folder & see what happens then ---

I kind of did the same thing myself with the sound file. I was looking in this thread by Rami.

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...-the-stock-Zero-sounds&highlight=Zero,+sounds

To see what engine the Ki-67 used and it said it used the same engine as the Ki-43, the only problem was that there was no twin configuration for that engine sound on site. So I took a look at an engine sound that was configured for twin to see how it was done and did some modifying to the Ki-43 sound file I had and to my amazement it worked! I have Ki-43 sound now configured for twin.

"shares same engine as Ki-43"

I don't think that's correct, the Ki-67 had 18 cylinder 1900HP engines, like those used on Ki-84 Frank, P1Y1 Frances & N1K2J George. That's why I chose a George soundpack as my start point.

I think the Ki-43 uses 14 cylinder engines of much lower HP.
 
I have a better payload array to add to the dp!

Hi there!

Either Lawdog's Mitsubishi HA-112 II soundpack for the Ki-100 or his Nakajima HA-45 Homare pack should be historically correct. I am using the former, since I have no other Mitsubishi sound sources to use for this aircraft, I am going for the largest available Mitsubishi engine sound.

Kimihiro in the airfile listed two 2,500 hp Mitsubishi HA-214. Jane's "Fighting Aircrafts of WWII" reports two 1,920 hp Mitsubishi HA-42, 18-cylinder, two-row radials with multi-blade cooling fans in the cowling openings. It sounds like the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden engine arrangement, a forced-ventilation Mitsubishi Kasei 23 14-cyl. radial, just like the BMW 801 in the FW190A.

If you post a better dp for this aircraft, I can add the payloads I replaced using Thicko's bombs as usual, plus his B5N 60kg ventral carrier for the light payload, B5N 250kg bomb pylons and B6N late-war Type-91 Kai3 and Kai4 torpedoes.

Cheers!

Ah Ha, I stand corrected. Thank you for the info uncle. Guess I'll be making some changes then. I want it to sound historically correct. Thank You again.
 
One more thing....

.....about the Ki-67.

Again Jane's "Fighting Aircrafts of WWII" reports that all payloads were carried internally in a bomb bay, apart from the torpedo.

I figured Kimihiro did not want to bother with bomb bay doors and their animation, (there is practically none in all of his models, just propeller, control surfaces and landing gear) so he hanged everything outside, under the aircraft belly.

Apparently it's not historically correct, so I did another dp file where all bombs are loaded internally. Not knowing the Mitsubishi Hiryu's internal structure I placed them in the most obvious C.o.G., that is in between the wings. I will include it in my next upload and it'll be up to whoever downloads it to go for internal or external payloads.

Cheers!

Looking forward to it Kelticheart! Too bad about the bomb doors not being animated though. Maybe in the future someone can do that. Thanks.
 
Hi Guys,

I have been working on this AC, but it is very basic and is going to take awhile.
I was wondering about the bomb-bay.
There are no doors. I might try and cut some in. I will have to build the insides also.
Once I get the wings and tail to brake off I will up-load.
Then later if all goes well I can up-date it.

I like the new paint job UncleTgt.
Kelticheart, will your new prop disks work on this AC?

I think this guy could be a SHO makeover.

Regards,
B24Guy
 
Speaking of skins. The framework of the side gun blisters seems to be permanently brown in the .mdl & this color does not show up in MDLmat. It would be nice if the framework was also available in green as this seems to have been the color of most Peggys.
 
Good call OW. THere are several parts of the model that appear untextured (cowl flaps, gun blisters, radio mast, wheels, spinners etc.), & take their colour direct from the model.

As the B24 guy observed, it is basic aircraft - no engines showing in the nacelles, texture mapping makes it impossible to fake an engine recess... I can understand it might take a while, & even then maybe it would be better to start from scratch? :running:
