A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 1 Aircraft Add-Ons

Description: The Mitsubishi A6M3 Model 22 became the standard carrier and land based fighter for the Imperial Japanese Navy after the A6M2 Model 21. Although Firepower, Speed and Range were improved, some agility was lost because of the added weight of improved cannon and engine.

This aircraft is painted in the standard camouflage pattern for a Japanese Navy fighter during the middle and later years of the Pacific War.

Let me know what you think of this airplane!

trying to figure out
how to use scasm.
trial and error,
followed by more,
trial and error.
mostly, error.

Mitsubishi A6M2 Model 21 & A6M3 Model 22

Thanks Rami, Smilo,

I think the visual model is good, but it really isn't that different from the A6M2 Model 21.
The greatest amount of work was actually spent in revising the flight model and testing and re-testing.
Pretty soon there should be an update to the A6M2 Model 21 for minor detail corrections.

The A6M3 Model 22 ko has better straight line performance all around than the A6M2 Model 21 otsu and is still very agile but loses a bit in general response and handling.

In the Japanese manual I used as a reference, they commented that below 6000 meters, the Type Zero Mark I (A6M2) has greater fighting power than the Mark II (A6M3 and A6M5).

Can someone please change the subject of this thread? This is a A6M3 Model 22.

Thanks Smilo,

It is now an accurate description.
I wonder what the next subject should be.

Perhaps it really SHOULD be a A6M3 Model 32 or perhaps a A6M5 Model 52.
Then again, it would not be anything interesting or new; it would just be yet another variation on a theme.
Sometime down the road, I believe a A6M8 Model 64 would be interesting.

It has been some time since the initial release of my version of the A6M2.
There have been a couple MDL updates that may not be immediately obvious and a couple flight model updates as well.
Beyond that, since the prior releases, there is now a "Ivan's Gauge Workshop" that specializes in old aircraft gauges.
Many of the gauges on the A6M panel have been replaced with different versions.
For now, I just have a couple screen shots of A6M2 Model 21 as it stands today.

A thread just looks barren without any screen shots.
