Kawasaki Ki-61 "Tony", Skin and Ini Pak, For SF/WoV/WoE PTO Installs

 

This package contains a reskin and cockpit/cockpit ini modification of the Dev A-Team's Ki-61 "Tony" .

 

You MUST have the Dev A-Team's Ki-61 Tony, and it's suggested also Christian59's "Tony Family Package" before installing this mod, as without it, this does you no good!! Right now, it's set for use on Christian's Ki-61-Ib, but can be used on any of his new versions, as they all share the same LOD. A simple edit of the decals ini is all that it will take. Having the Hurricane 1 would be a good idea too, as the new cockpit ini will need it!

 

The skin is based off the original IJAAF Natural Metal and Camos, and was built from a new template created off the original skins. All new panel, rivet lines, and other details were drawn by me, but still based off Gramps' original. The tail Chutai marking is a decal. Individual ID number decals have also been created, as seen on the landing gear doors in many photos/profiles/artworks/whathaveyous. I've suppled numbers for 48 aircraft. See in the "Notes" section for explinations about the numbers.lst.

 

It represents aircraft of 37 Sentai, based at Matsuyama Airfield, Formosa, circa March 1944. This aircraft is finished in overall Natural Metal, with some "splotchy bits" applied to the tail fin/rudder. Now, I'm not sure this splotchy was appled to a particular aircraft (the profile shows no numbers) or the entire Squadron. I choose to use it on all.

 

A new cockpit ini is supplied, based of Kesselbrut's Hurricane Mk.1, with adjusted pilot postioning, and recalibrated to use the Metric Unit system. While not perfect; the instrument layout is far to Western (and still in English), it's a workable substitute. (this is just in case you didn't get it with the 19 Sentai Tony Skin Pak). BTW, if someone wants to translate the gauge readout/labels into Japanese, I'm sure a number of people would be quite pleased! (me included!)

 

Also included is a new sound file (wav) for the engine. It's from RussoUK's BF-109E; as both aircraft used the Daimler DB-601, this is also, just in case you didn't get it with the other Tony Skin Pak :) It's called "CYA" where I come from!!!

 

Historical accuracy is NOT 100% claimed, as the profile I used shows a Ki-61-I.

 

-= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-

--= NOTE: You MUST have the Dev A-Team's Ki-61 Tony to install this pakage into (duh!!) and =--

---= You'll need the DAT's Hurricane 1 for it's cockpit; the mods are based off that one =---

----=You Should also have christian59's Ki-61 Tony Family Package to install this too =----

- This mod has ONLY been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. This mod is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 style install of WoI, as it handles prop flight models in "an extreamly odd way".-

 

It is HIGHLY suggested that you read the enclosed readme COMPLETLY THROUGH before installing this pak; this will help you in making some of the changes I suggest.

 

Good Hunting!
