Also known as Hago-chu made very nice models. The external models have always been great, but his first models still had still quite simple virtual cockpits. But his later models had nicely detailed VCs as well.

I remember his web-site very well. When he posted early images of his next projects. And we were all wondering what it could become.

I have flown uncountable hours in his BF109s and FW190s, especially with the nice textures made by Chris Nölte (ChrisN). And although he made many very nice models, his Boomerang is still my personal favorite. I already have a soft spot for the aircraft, as it looks like it just took off from a comic book. But Akemi created a by far the best model of the aircraft for CFS2/FS2004 (at least in my opinion).
Its one of the aircraft I keep flying and preferably with the textures made by Morton and the sounds I borrowed from the Aeroplane Heaven CFS2 model.

I converted lots of his models to FSX and in my opinion he's one of the greatest designers from what I call the "CFS2/FS9" era.

Robin,

When Akemi suddenly passed away in 2013, permission was asked to his daughter to upload Akemi's work here at the Sim-Outhouse. As his models were primarily done for CFS2, they can be found in the "CFS 2 - Akemi Legacy Add-Ons" section. ( http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=174 )

For several models there a fs2004 tweak was done. As these tweaks were often placed in the threads, most of them are very hard to find. But for the Boomerang there is one in the library done by OBIO ( http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=8&linkid=7743 )

The textures by Morton can be found here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=58&linkid=709
and here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=58&linkid=708

Cheers,
Huub
 
Zwobbie, all the Akemi planes I converted for FS9/FSX are in the SimViation library. Put my name (erik hertzberger) in the search option and you'll find them all. And when there is a specific plane you want and it's not there, send me a pm and I'll see what I can do for you.

I installed the He-100 D and it does not show as either a Heinkel...or unspecified...
what did I do wrong?

I installed Erwin Welker's He-100 D and it does not show as either a Heinkel...or unspecified...
what did I do wrong?

Gaucho, I've no idea what you want from me. Maybe you can send me a pm and be more specific.

G,

Although this has nothing to do with the models created by Akemi, nor with the conversions done by Hertzie, I think I know where you find the Heinkel. When you look into the aircraft configuration file you will see that you should be able to find the model under the manufacturer name "fighter". See below:

ui_manufacturer=Fighter
ui_type=Heinkel He-100D
ui_variation=Ungarn

Cheers,
Huub
 
Erik (Herzie),

One small question for you:

Did you create alternative flight dynamics for you conversions, or did you use the original ones by Akemi? As some of his aircraft fly great, while some of his later ( and more detailed) models fly perfect in CFS2, but fly horrible in FS9.

Cheers,
Huub

Then Erwin Welker has also put his own name in ui_manufacture=
So, just open the aircraft.cfg & look what the ui_manufacturer= says. it might just say Erwin Welker's ... something or other, so the aircraft could be under that!
 
To Huub: depended on how the plane flew in MY FSX Acceleration. I tried to keep as close as possible to Akemis models, only when the model flew absolutely horrible I made changes. Sometimes another air.-file helped a lot. Or trimming. Or I gave the engine(s) in the aircraft.cfg more power.

To Zwobbie: Erwin often uses as manufacturer something like "Welkers Ships and Planes".

G,

The 3 lines in my previous post are copied from the aircraft configuration file from the He100 which is here in the library. So I'm sure it is under the manufacturer "fighter".

Erik (Herzie) that is interesting as there are a few aircraft which need an awful lot of runway before they want to take off. I never thought about increasing the engine power..... (I know it is cheating, but it is for a good cause!)

Cheers,
Huub
 
Thanks a lot!

Now to understand it correctly... Should I change whatever Welker wrote on ui manufacturer= and put Heinkel there?
G.
 
One more question!

You can do, it doesn't affect anything "ui" means "User Interface" ;

Thanks for all your advise... something vexing now.... It shows fine... the paint jobs are rather primitive... so I started to do a repaint and
somehow, after much labor, got it to show on the sim, but the German version fuselage does not... so I made sure all the permissions were
right (Windows 10 blocks files from another computer until you unblock them manually and set all permissions).. at any rate, I copied de
fuselage from the Hungarian version, changed it with the German fuse texture (so as to be the same.. because it was dds ) Everything fine,
except that the new texture (albeit changed by me) still shows the Hungarian one??????
How can I solve this puzzle?
Thanks in advance.

G.

I'm extremely interested in doing a new, detailed picture.
 
To keep this thread on track first a few images from another great model by Akemi. The Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate.

After this post I will try to answer G's question.

G,

It seems you have installed your FS9 in the "Program Files (x86)" folder. As Windows10 doesn't like messing around in program files, especially with 32-bits programs, you might be a victim of one of their safety systems.

Hidden somewhere is a "virtual store" in which Windows10 makes hidden backups which supersede what it in the FS9 folders. The default address ths "virtual store is:

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore ( make sure you enter the correct username and that you have also the hidden files shown).

Inside this VirtualStore you will find a folder called "Program Files (x86)" with a subfolder called Microsoft Games in which you will be able to find the FS9. This virtual store has the same structure as your normal default FS9 folder.

Look for the aircraft configuration file of the He100 and just delete it. You can also delete the complete FS9 folder inside the virtual store, with everything in it, as Windows10 will build a new one as soon as Windows10 thinks its necessary.

(Note you won't find all FS9 files in the virtual store, just the ones which caused a conflict with the Windows10 safety systems.)

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Huub
