Pakayan Ki-21-I Sally kamikaze by UncleTgt.
This is a conversion of Pakayans Ki-21-I Sally, originally converted for CFS2 by Peperez, for CFS 2. Following the guidelines by Pen32win, it turns the aircraft into an AI kamikaze that can be used in missions. The repaints are
58 Sentai, Sumatra JAN45, with options for dark green or stripey camo.
Updated MAR 2014 - air & dp files renamed to match aircraft.cfg
The changes made were:
The dp was modified to add kelti exhaust effects, & the crew were removed using alpha masking. I tweaked the glass colour & transparency, & the altered the spinner colour to suit the camo.
The B24 Guy found & fixed the model CTD error that affects the Peperez conversion if you try to use in CFS2 Quick Combat.
The aircraft category was changed to 4. You lose the true dive bomb vertical dive but retain a moderately steep dive onto target, but gain the ability to programme a low level torpedo bomb approach on target vessels. The payloads were changed to offer the Mission writer two different attack profiles.
Kamikaze - Hi
This mimics a hi level/ dive bomb approach & uses Shadow Wolf's kamikaze bomb from his Satan's Kittens VF-19 campaign (available at Sim-Outhouse)
Kamikaze - Low
This uses Pen32win's skip bomb mod (AF_ddandhf.zip, B25 skip bomb aircraft, available at Sim-Outhouse) to mimic a low level approach.
Notes for mission builders:
See Pen32win's AF_Kamikaze pack for how to build events & triggers for a kamikaze mission. All I've done is to use his later skip bomb-torpedo to allow some variety to kamikaze attack profiles.
For the "lo" approach the change in weapon means the drop trigger becomes "attack with torpedoes", & the mission trigger becomes "torpedoes = 0" instead of "bombs = 0", but otherwise operates exactly as Pen32win advises.
When invoking the "engine fire" event, I've found that particularly with the low approach profile it's better to delay the event by a second or two, but otherwise Pen32win's notes are spot on.
To install, copy your JP_KI21-I_Sally aircraft & call it JP_KI21-I_kamikaze. Unzip this download and place your chosen files in the correct folder(s) for the JP_KI21-I_kamikaze within the aircraft folder in your CFS2 Main Directory. Back up any originals & replace them with these.
Thanks to:
Pakayan for the original a/c. Its old, but good.
TheB24 Guy for finding & fixing the CTD model conversion error.
Kelti for inspiring exhaust effects & prop disks.
Martin Wright for Mdlmat & DXTbmp programmes.
Pen32win for his AF_Kamikaze pack & the skip bomb-torpedo, allowing us to mimic some real world tactics in spite of the limitations of the CFS 2 game engine.
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
