A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Skins - Japanese

Description: akemi A6M3b Zero skinpack1 by UncleTgt


This is a revision of akemi's A6M3b model 22 Zero for CFS 2. The model has been tweaked with a blue/green glass colour & slight changes to sheen using MDLmat. A dull camo sheen model is supplied for these later camouflaged planes.


The airfile only has a description changed to read in English. The textures have been redrawn to try & match the stock textures in appearance, & depict a variety of aircraft at different times throughout their active service.


The textures supplied are:


W1-108 Aircraft from 201ku, based at Kahili, September 1943. Pilot Takeo Okumura.


T2-112 Aircraft from 204ku, based at Kahili, June-July 1943. Pilot Matsuo Hagiri.


U1-105 Aircraft from 251ku, based at Rabaul, May 1943.


53-157 Aircraft from 253ku, based at Tobera airfield in the Rabaul area of New Britain, circa September 1943.


The 2D panel bitmap has been made WIN 7+ friendly. I combined the OH stock 2D panel with Akemi's VC panel view, & improved the resolution of the VC view instruments.


The aircraft.cfg contact points have been adjusted to allow belly landings (thanks Skylane), & the airfile optimised for improved AI formation flight & a more accurate flight range.


The dp file makes use of kelticheart's exhaust effects. It makes use of Allen's Japanese bombs, & Thicko's D4Y2 wing pylons. I converted it to read in english instead of japanese.


To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.


Thanks to


Akemi for a great series of multi-LOD aircraft
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
Kelticheart for his exhaust effects, & inspiration for the propeller bitmaps

UncleTgt,

These are outstanding revisions, thank you for all of your hard work! :santahat:
 
Just curious....something missing?

Just getting around to loading up one of your latest new additions and although the file (mz_a6m2b_skinpack1_UT) contains the PANEL file referred to in your readme, .....my download of the (akemi_A6M3b_skinpack1_UT) doesn't appear to contain a PANEL file.....but the readme is identical.

Worthless, upload updated to include the missing panel folder & contents. It's the same panel as in my A6M3 Hamp update. I don't think you can use the A6M2b-t panel, Akemi updated his Zero model for the A6M2b-t & the VC view is a little different.

Thanks for spotting this - but you could've just pinged me a PM instead :jaded:

Beautiful work UT. Many thanks for continuing to populate the bases of the SW Pacific with such realistic aircraft and objects.
 
I took a couple of the sexy new paint jobs and changed a few old missions out of Rabaul to add them as ground scenery. They look amazing in game, the snap shots don't do them enough justice. Fantastic work here, many thanks.
