File Name: Ki-43.zip File Submitter: WOLF257 File Submitted: 24 Nov 2004 File Updated: 14 Sep 2005 File Category: WW2 Aircraft Nakagima Ki-43 I "Oscar": This model in the Ki-43 series is fairly representative of the type found in the China-India-Burma Theater and the South West Pacific up through early 43. While the plane was light and very maneuverable it wasn't particularly fast and it suffered from the same faults as most of the earlier Japanese designs. The lack of self sealing fuel tanks and armor caused this plane to burn like a bonfire with relatively few hits and it was woefully under-gunned. Click here to download this file

File Name: P-51a.zip File Submitter: WOLF257 File Submitted: 6 Aug 2006 File Updated: 6 Aug 2006 File Category: WW2 Aircraft First the disclaimer and legal mumbo-jumbo: You download and install this add-on aircraft at your own risk, it's been tested on several dis-similar systems and caused no problems but your mileage my vary. This aircraft model is not endorsed by TK, Third Wire, or North American Aviation. The model, cockpit and base paintjob were done by me alone so any errors are my fault, complaints and suggestions should be directed to me at the Stike Fighters Forum at SimHQ. You are free to distribute this add-on aircraft as long as it's done as the complete orginal zip file including this read-me file. You are also free to repaint it in any manner you chose and release those skins as you see fit. I've included the layered .psd file for those wishing to repaint the plane. YOU ARE NOT FREE TO CHARGE FOR IT OR OTHERWISE TRY TO MAKE MONEY WITH IT. IMPORTANT! Make sure you have installed the latest Weapons Pack. P-51A: This model of the P-51A is fairly representative of the type found in the European Theater in early 1943. This varient of the Mustang is equiped with the Allison engine and the performance was ctually quite good as long as you stayed below 15,000 feet, above that and the single stage supercharger just didn't deliver the required power. Operational Notes: SP4 models torque so keep it in mind especially on take off. The plane becomes somewhat directionally unstable at low speed so pay attention during the landing approach or this plane will kill you. Keep your speed around 110kts on approach till you cross the fence and start your approach at around 1500 feet or you'll overshoot the landing. Like the P-47, watch your dive speeds, this plane is very clean aerodynamically and the dive speeds build up fast.

Graphics: To maintain the high detail I was after I used very large textures, if the plane causes an unacceptably large hit on your frame rates it's suggested that you open the P-51BTex1.bmp file in a paint program and resize it to 1024 x 1024. You can also open the CpitTex1.bmp file found in the cockpit folder and resize it to 1024 x 1024 as well. This can also be done to the Instruments.bmp but be advised that you'll lose a lot of detail on the instrument panel by doing this. I'll get around to building a dedicated pit for it sooner or later. Last words. Why did I decide to build WWII planes when there are other sims out that cover the period? Some of my most enjoyable simming, both on and offline, was with European Air War, I'm a confirmed WWII prop head and I make no apologies about it. Strike Fighters has given me a platform to indulge in my favorite period to an almost unlimited extent and I'm going to take full advantage of it. WOLF257 Click here to download this file

Important Note: The Swastika on this aircraft is not a political statement nor an effort to promote Nazi ideology, it is merely historical accuracy. If you harbor the rampant PC mentality so common these days you can tell it to the hand cause the ear don't want to hear it. If however, you live in a country where it's illegal to display the Swastika simply go to the decal folder and delete the Swastika.tga file and remove the entry from the decal.ini file. IMPORTANT!

Also, set the Enemy Aircraft level to Low or Normal, the skies of Vietnam weren't exactly crawling with Migs most of the time and set the Enemy Air Defenses to Normal. The general consensus even among the guys that really flew there is that the game goes overboard. The main reason for the slow downs are the large number of planes and lots of air defense that the system has to track and keep up with. Turning these down really won't detract all that much from the experience and it'll speed the game up a good bit. WOLF

Not sure if I'm here or not, it all depends on who you ask... WOLF

I'm releasing this one now because the cockpit of the Bf109 isn't ready yet... posted November 20, 2004 23:39 I'm uploading the file here and it's also being hosted by WPNSSGT, Thanks Jeff and Mike. http://www.wpnssgt.com/downloads/aircraft/P-38H.zip http://www.wpnssgt.com/aircraft.htm WOLF

The template is included in the zip file. WOLF

Sorry about the screw up at Avsim, never uploaded anything there before. WOLF

Another thing to try is reducing the hareware acceleration of your sound card and switch the setting from desktop speakers to headphones. WOLF

Also make sure when you go to the single mission screen you have the mission type set to something a bomber would normally do and last but certainly not least. Before you get all bent out of shape because people are not falling all over themselves to help you out, this is Saturday, some of us actually have a life and don't live at this forum and your post has only been up a couple of hours.

Can't help you with the skin but I can tell you part of what's wrong with the planes flying weird. If you tried to fly either a CAS or Armed Recon it ain't gonna work. I think Deuces released an update so it would work but if you're using the first version it won't. WOLF

Thanks Bernard, Was not able to post here before due to a misunderstanding on my part of how the sign-in data base worked. WOLF

I've been using the range a lot to test stuff when I don't want to have to be dodging Migs and SAM's. WOLF
