"Raiden"

Raiden factoids

It's hard to know for sure what it would sound like, since there aren't any originals of the engines currently operational (as far as I know). It was powered by a 14-cylinder two-row engine, producing 1,820 hp. This is very close to an R-2600 engine. Although I haven't tried it yet, I was thinking of using the sounds from the MAAM-sim TBF/TBM Avenger. Also up for consideration might be an R-2800 soundset, one of my favorites being from the AF/A2A Corsair.

I did some research and found out that the Mitsubshi Raiden translates to "Thunderbolt" and the allied name for it was "Jack".
It was designed by the same guy that designed the A6M, Jiro Horikishi.
It was to be a strictly local-defense intercepor, primarily designed to defend against the B-29 Superfortress.

I love this Japanese WWII theme and scenery .. course the IJN Ise looks so :cool: .. ok Chezzy , who is that fella with the pointy hat :kilroy:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
Speaking of the Raiden... Does anybody have any "updates" to the flight dynamics? No offense to Mr. Conrad, but I find this plane really hard to fly because it is very twitchy (it also stalls and spins really easily).

Thanks!
