• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Japan 1946

There's a lot of beautiful Japanese fighters at the web, unhappily, their airfiles are not according the designed envelope. One boring and common aspect of them was their vertical speed. All of them climb in "steps" and their ceiling behaviour was very bellow their designed performance. I began to revise their airfiles to get exact performance from them. The first one I mess is Allen's Mansyu Ki-98, a delicious plane to fly. After that, I revised Kawauso Works Nakajima Ki-87, one of his best works. After that, I go after of Gerald Lindell, David C. Copley, Andre van Duin, Phanis Sima and Lobo da Silva Tachikawa Ki-94. My final work was Lucariny's J5N1 Tenrai. I made one early conversion in 2004. I did a new model and a new simulated VC (it has not one built). Some achievements:

1. In all planes I succeed to climb uninterrupted to 33,000 feet at an vertical speed of 3,300 feet per minute;
2. I succeed to get their designed maximum speed at recovering altitude within a limit of 2 knots;
3. They are more manoeuvrable now.

Allen gimme the authorization to upload the complete Mansyu Ki-98 and I have the authorization to upload the Tenrai. My intention is to upload the airfiles and aircrafts.cfg files of Kawauso Works Nakajima Ki-87 and Gerald Lindell Tashikawa Ki-94.

Cheers
