• 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.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

New beauty!!!

Yes, she is definitely a beauty!!! The exterior textures are right up there with the big boy payware crowd.:applause: I just finished an hour flying her and must also say she's very fun to fly also. She has the same "feel' to me as the A2A P-47, you know "heavy iron". With a full load of fuel you have to be on your toes to prevent accelerated stalls and other "ruin your day" mishaps.
Thank you very much for your talent and generosity, it is MUCH appreciated:salute:.

Thanks tim.

Here's the 2 texture files for the captured Raiden with a new alpha channel to make the metal shinier...
 
But was it all that shiny in the first place? The one area the Japanese lagged behind the US was in metallurgy. Japan had fine airframes. Strength to weight and design wise, they were often on par with ours. Lucky for us, their metals technology lagged behind, and they could never build high powered engines comparable to the US industry, that were deserving for their advanced airframes.

Meanwhile, the US turned out P&W Double Wasps that were designed for 2000-hp, but when tuned properly 3000-hp was not beyond a believable goal.
