Aeroplane Heaven A6M Zero

I have a stack of books about the IJN, and the Zero is a favourite aircraft, but I'll wait to see what the Blackbird one is like. The WW2 Japanese aircraft I'd really love in MSFS are the Kawanishi H6K 'Mavis' flying boat for long trans-Pacific hauls, and the Japanese army's Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate 'Frank'. The latter was the best fighter produced in any numbers by the Japanese, and more than a match for the P-51 or Hellcat at medium and low altitude. Unfortunately for them, it was let down by weak undercarriage, a lack of spare parts, poor quality fuel, and inadequately trained maintenance personnel. Otherwise, it would have run rampant over the Philippines. Perhaps Flying Iron will turn their attention to Japan after the B-17G is done.

I bought a Datsun 120Y as my first car back in 1978 mainly because my then partners' Uncle had a Datsun franchise. Unbeknown to me my Fathers best friend was in the British Army and fought the Japanese in Borneo. He refused to speak to me from then on. Quite understandable.

Same here collonsr when I purchased a 5-speed Honda Accord in 1976. That is, until he drove it. :LOL: After he drove it, every time I was home and he was off work and wanted to go to visit one of his cousins, he asked if I was going out and if not, could he borrow the keys to my car. My father grew up in poverty, he never had money for a car like that. The same happened earlier in 1969 when I bought an Opel GT. Worthless he said. Until he drove it. Again, any time I was at home and not going out, he had to borrow the keys. He'd never driven a sports car in his life. My father is by far the man I most worship. He had country smarts, could do basic math in his head, and hated every Republican in his lifetime, but I carry on his fight. :ROFLMAO:

Blackbird said "Yes, 2024 native and we’re almost done. 2, maybe 3 weeks. Not a promise…" on the official MSFS forum.

Interesting that they're A6M2 vs A6M5 marks. And I do love AH's third-party planes. Hmmm...
 
Thank you guys!

In the meantime i bought it, except for the reticle glass which is way too tinted (known issue by the dev) it works perfectly in FS2024.

Last good Zero we had was from A2A (weren't they still Shockwave?), and now we have 2!
Now bring a Kate, Val and Tony, yes i know it will probably never happen...
 
Plus the Mitsubishi Ki-46. and next to the Luftwaffe He111, the Ju88 and Do(2)17. But no, the stream of boring GA aircraft is never ending.
