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

Description: Yokosuka P1Y1 Frances JAP Skins by UncleTgt

This is a collection of repaints for the P1Y1 Frances made by Daisuke Iga (A.K.A. daikie)/Kawauso Hermitage for CFS 2.
You can get the original aircraft from: http://www.kawausohermitage.sakura.ne.jp/Hanger/hanger_en.htm

The textures are: J-P1-3 An evaluation aircraft of the IJN Air Technical Arsenal circa late '43

761-25 761 kokutai, March '45

762-92 "T" 762 Kokutai, May '45

I've included a tweaked dp file that makes the AI gunnery less deadly & correct some MISC DATA kph errors, & added some kelti exhaust effects. Included is a WIN 7 safe 2D panel bitmap.

I also altered the air file & the aircraft.cfg MOI as I didn't like the tendency of the original to immediately use the vertical as a defensive measure (overly effective elevator control).

I haven't checked the impact of these changes on ship attack profiles yet, but at least it now behaves as a 3 seat light bomber & not an aerobatic twin engined fighter anymore. As a player a/c you can still loop her, but you will lose a lot of energy doing so.

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: Igacci for an incredibly detailed, & unusual late-war aircraft.

Kelticheart for the prop disk, I just tweaked the shading.

This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.

UncleTgt,

John,

Once again, your work never ceases to amaze! Outstanding work on this unusual model! :very_drunk:
 
Great job UT!

I'm loving these skins- and the plane, too. I never had it loaded up before.

One little issue I noticed. Whenever I swap in your new dp file I lose the Detachable bomb bay cover described in Important Note 2 in daikie's original readme. Its gone for all weapon load-outs. It's supposed to only be gone for a torpedo load-out.

MR,

But I never messed with the payloads section of the original dp :pirate:, I just changed the accuracy of the gunners & added some exhaust effects. Perhaps it's supposed to be that way (although I can't think why)?

One of life's little mysteries.

Hiya UT,

Well. Fixed it.

Swapped out the 6 payload entries from your dp file for the 6 payload entries from the original dp file. The detachable bombay door now only disappears with the torpedo load-out. Strangely, for whatever reason, the 6 payload entries in your dp are ever so slightly different from the 6 payload entries found in the dp file contained in the download from daikie's website. Slight differences in coding. Seem to have made the difference. Don't ask me why cause I don't know.

I noticed that in screenshots included with your zip, when that section of the AC is visible, the detachable door is missing

Find a copy of my edited dp file attached.

Its no biggie, I know. I just get fixated on these things!:dizzy:

Cheers,
MR

Chris,

Thanks for persevering with this & finding the fix.:banghead: I must have changed something when I was working on the dp in Notepad.

I've taken the liberty of incorporating your dp fix into my original upload (duly credited).:cheerful:
