Ki 49 Helen skin

Good choice since the JAAF and the IJN can a use little more attention as of lately. I just like the different textures for the Japanese AC. Some of them are real pretty. Its a shame that we have to destroy them.


Thank you!

Hey, what about a few new Texures for the Betties in the future. Its up to you put I will appreciate it very much.

Thank you again!
 
The still & slow prop blades are mapped to a transparent texture file. It can be (kinda) fixed by removing the alpha channel in the 'prop' .bmp.
 
I just uploaded a tweaked prop texture. Makes the prop blades visible & they have a more accurate late war Japanese pattern. The spinning blades are constantly 'feathered :costumes:, but it is a trade off.
 
I was going to start a new sticky for this, but this will be sufficient. Thanks for the skins! :ernae:
 
I am not sure but the panel doesn't belong to the 'helen' ... am I wrong...? anybody knows where can i find it...?
Regards and thanks again uncle...

I am a happy enduser and will for sure grab all of these.

As a thank you, I can offer a tweaked modelfile with nicer glassparts. They can`t be shined due to the old model, but at least - they don`t look so milky anymore.
 
Jaxon,

That's spooky, I was reading your shining tut only yesterday! A glass fix would improve things a bit more.

Many thanks.
 
Is there a way we could have the model mapped for a real blurred propeller texture file?

I tried in any way to get rid of the spinning blades in the disc, but there's no way to do it unless deleting the still propeller texture altogether. :help:

Nice job UncleTgt! :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

I love Japanese mottled camo skins!

Cheers!

IF someone could come up with a source file, it would be do-able. I suppose that it could also be accomplished with scasm.. The still,slow & spinning prop parts all seem to be mapped to the same .bmp.
 
I have tried a solution in renaming the called textures.
There are 4 entries in the model, where the prop texture is called. But only No 3 & 4 are for the actual appearance in the game.

Problem is: No3 is for the right propellers (still AND spinning) blades, No4 for the other one.

So renaming failed.
My current solution is: I renamed the prop texture to prpX.bmp - a texture, which is not to find in the plane´s or main texture folder.

This way, we have untextured still standing blades - and invisible ones, when spinning.

BTW: To a certain point, it is possible to color the untectured parts of the interiour! But which colour is right for that? A dark green, or the cyan-blue of some other japanese fighters?
 
Just an FYI for those of you who are historically inclined....

Both 7th and 61st Sentai KI-49's were also active in PNG. There is a wreck of one still at Madang.

Great new skins for this bird, Thank You all for your hard work.:ernae:
 
:kilroy:

another one ...

This time 74th Sentai, late '44.

A/C had radar & I believe was expended in kamikaze attacks off japan, but my attempts at putting antennae on it & configuring as low level kamikaze were unsuccessful - needs more thought.

Meantime, here's the skin anyway.
 
I'll place this thread back up...no sense creating another. Thanks, UncleTgt!

Uncle, do you have any images of the Radar antennae? I created some for allied aircraft that install as weapons and could probably modify them for your needs.

mainly poor quality partial photos, not much use at all ...

... but this line drawing shows the arrangement in sufficient detail (i think):rapture:
