The Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki by Wolfi and Morton:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?p=138326

Haven't tried it yet, but I think it should work in Fs9..?

Edit: You can find the model here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?loc=downloads&page=info&FileID=13767#download

Morton's paints, panel and VC textures are not up yet, should be in a few hours though.

Info on the real thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakajima_Ki-44

Will this be flyable in FS9?

It flies great in FS9! Wierd to fly a plane without textures!

[Ferry_vO]

Very flyable! (Desperately needs a tail wheel lock though...)

Morton's fixed the no-textures issue, but there's still some strange 'bleed-through' on parts of the wings at certain angles. I downloaded Lawdog's N1K George sounds which suit this aircraft well.
No functional gauges in the VC, but it is a beta afterall.

This is a good looking aircraft

 

[Ferry_vO]

This is good looking aircraft, wonder if somebody will paint this one

That's a Ki-43 Hayabusa, not a Ki-44 Shoki.

We have a Hayabusa on sale at donationware.net btw.

Have wanted one of these for a long while now! Mike

There was a Ki-44 for CFS 1 that I dearly loved to fly.

(snipped...

Try putting one of these in the Flaps section:

tailwheel_lock = 1

I'm still flogging the old Aerosim "Japanese Fighters" Ki.44's. It'll be neat to try this one out.

Ferry,

Where did you get the textures?
:woot:

Not sure if you have found the textures or not...but they were done and uploaded by Morton.

You'll have to wait for Douglas to activate the download, but the mods and admins can d/l files once they've been uploaded.

You'll love this one too Willy!

..And Lawdog just uploaded a new soundset designed for this aircraft!

Y'know I was just looking for one of these for the Esteemed Sim; tried a CFS2 version but the animations were...well...just not there. This one is nice; very nice indeed.:ernae:
I learned how to do 'Boom and Zoom' with this bird back in my CFS2 days; took it up for a short flight around the patch and brought back some great memories.
Now if we can get a Kawasaki Ki-61 for FS2004...

Flight dynamics need a bit of work though. Morton has done a few nice skins for this one as well.

Thanks Ferry for the h/u on the Ki-61. Also liking the Ki-78 found there even if it is an absolute bear to fly. :ernae:
