Good stuff Miccasharon.

Hey guys be sure to shorten the title lines in the aircraft.cfg or you might run into CTD errors when using these skins as AI opponents or wingmen in missions. When aircraft titles reach two lines in length, the sim starts coughing them up in missions.

BTW Miccasharon, package #2 is missing the pack for title=mz-ki84-I Otsu 58th "Shinbu-Tai" Miyakonojo, Kyushu 1945. According to your enclosed aircraft.cfg there should be five texture sets in the zip but it has four.


Check out the scale below:

Hi BC,

My investigation of the aircraft title resulted in a max of 69 characters, including spaces. More than that and the AI will cough up. Also I noticed that my MB will only load the first FlightSim section in an aircraft.cfg, that is [fltsim.0] for both player and AI. Anything that is beyond FlightSim zero will not load in MB.

Excellent work on the skins, Miccasharon!
:encouragement:

Best Regards
 
Hi guys,

Thank you so much for your kind wards.
99% of work done by Morton with his excellent texture and kindly let me allow it as a base texture and of course Akemi for giving us this wonderful bird.

Bearcat241, Oglivie,

Sorry for confusion. I forgot to erase the line in Pack#1. I put it on Pack#3.
And kindly edit aircraft name.
Next time, I will shorten the name and put details on another line as description.

"Shimbutai" is an special attack unit of IJA for the defense of homeland in 1944/45.

The photo of this plane was taken by US Marine corps photographer, Joe O'Donnell at Ashiya IJA airfield Aug 1945. It is reported that similar paintings was on the plane of Co. Nishino of 160th Shimbu-tai on local newspaper in Japan at that time. So I guess this plane was one of the plane of 159 or 160 Shimbutai and with some reason, left at Ashiya on the way to Chiran. It was confirmed they were stayed over night at Ashiya on the way to Chiran.

Base textures were originally created by UncleTgt. Thank you very much UncleTgt for his excellent repaints and giving me a permission to modify it and use as a base texture.
