Yashico Mitsubishi A5M4A Claude by UncleTgt

This is a revision of Yashico's Mitsubishi A5M4A Claude for CFS 2. Due to the complex nature of the revision this is uploaded as a complete aircraft, but the design credits are Yashico's.

His original model has been recoloured & shined. The glass material is clearer, & the navigation lights given a shine & transparency. A new airfile has been developed, & the dp file also has been developed with more visible damage effects, & depending on the version, uses Allen's multi-LOD IJN bombs. This version depicts the carrier fighter with radio mast and arrestor hook.

The 2D panel is originally by Shina, has been made WIN 7+ friendly, & recoloured to match the external paint.

The dp file makes use of kelticheart's exhaust effects.

The textures offered are: S-160 - Silver aircraft used by Chitose Ku, Roi Island, Marshall Island Group, October to November 1941.

"Ka"-105 - A Green over Orange training aircraft of Kasumigaura Ku, Kasumigaura, Japan, Autumn 1943 to February 1944.

W-101 - Houkoku-260 (Fujisawa Go) flown by Lt Tamotsu Yokoyama of Soryu Fighter Group, Japan, November 1939.

To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS2 install.

Thanks to: Yashico for a great aircraft. Although several year's old, his models really do seem incredibly well crafted.

Shina for an excellent 2D Panel bitmap, that just needed re-sizing & tweaking for WIN 7+ systems.

Allen for his multi-LOD Japanese bombs.

Allen for his DOSmdlc_2, making shine & mdl size changes possible in WIN7+.

Martin Wright for so many useful tools, in this case in particular MDLmat allowing aircraft model material transparency & colour changes.

Shessi for the steer on the best material colours & properties for clearer cockpit glass for CFS2.

Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps.

This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
