Just out of curiosity; did the IJN and IJA aircraft not shine in real world 1930s and '40s?

Yashico's aircraft all have very dull finishes. I wondered if that was by his design to be authentic?
 
High praises for another preservation effort!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

Thank you very much DD73, Kdriver and Rami!

Yasuhiko Sasaki's works of art are very well worth preserving.

Cheers!

Yashico's B-29 AI

Hi DD73, Kdriver and Rami,

in the old Yashico's webpage there was also a very nice, well proportioned B-29 AI model that I have been using with great satisfaction, both in late-war PTO and in Korea, ever since I downloaded it.

In spite of being very well modelled, it is so simple that one can throw 100+ in the air without altering the framerate. I also uploaded in the past two repaints, a PTO:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=57&id=2033

and a KoW:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=57&id=1708

plus prop discs and alternative dp for it.

I don't see it in the CFS2 preservation section, would you like me to upload it, providing I kept the original file?

Cheers!

OK, folks!

I have been a little late with my deliveries lately, because I was busy up to my ears with my job and readying my house for the cold season.

I will try to upload it tomorrow, together with Shessi/Alpha's PBY5 prop discs and exh effects.

Cheers!

Description: A very simple, yet accurately modelled, Boeing B-29A to use as an AI aircraft. Its simplicity allows to place large numbers of this model in any CFS2 mission without degrading animation rate significantly.

Yashico's B-29A AI re-uploaded!

A good day to everybody! :wavey:

I just re-uploaded Yashico' B-29A AI model for the Yashico legacy preservation drive, as promised.

The model itself is very good, in line with Yashico's impeccable production, from a distance it looks great in formation with Gnoopy's super-accurate B-29A model. Yet it is so simple, without any type of animation that one can fill the skies with it without impairing animation performance.

Anyway, I must comment on the fact that the original flight model and dp file aren't that accurate. The original airfile engine data makes this aircraft sorely underpowered, while its dp features just one payload with a single bomb in it.

Attached below the airfile I developed using Gnoopy's B-29A airfile as a reference. I also modified the dp file adding historical payloads and Tango Romeo's AI drop in the first position, to make mission developer's life easier.

Yashico used prop disc textures completely invisible. I was able to create very simple prop discs that are a little more visible, adding a touch of realism.
You can find them in my two historical repaints of this B-29A AI here:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=57&id=2033
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=57&id=1708

RAMI:

in order to keep Yashico's B-29A AI upload strictly as I first downloaded it, I chose to keep my mods out of his original pack. Should you decide otherwise, feel free to do it. All files inside are original Yashico work dated 2003. The only thing I am not sure about is its filename. I think I renamed it for my archiving purposes.

Repainters are strongly invited to do a better job than I did dressing this nice B-29AI. I believe it's the best AI model ever designed for CFS2, it deserves several historical liveries and better natural metal textures for our late WWII PTO and Korean conflict.

Enjoy!

Two more of Yashico's birds uploaded for preservation

A good day to everybody! :wavey:

I noticed another two models created by Yashico were missing from the Yashico Legacy pages. Here they are:


  • Nakajima Ki-27C "Nate", independent 84th Sq.
  • Kawasaki Ki-61-II Kai "Tony II", 56th Sq.

I like the Ki-61-II a lot because it's a rare bird, it's the only "bubbletop" Ki-61 model that was ever made for CFS2.

We are still missing several models Yashico made, that I was unable to download before his website went offline. According to the list of passwords he sent me back in 2006, he made:

#4 A5M4 "Claude" (A,B,C,D) --------------------------------------------------> all re-uploaded
#4 Type 97 Ki-27 "Nate" (A,B,C,D) -------------------------------------------> A and B missing
#4 N1K1J Shiden (J, Ja Kou, Ja Kou, Jb Otsu) --------------------------------> all re-uploaded
#2 A7M1 Reppu (prototype and fictional) -------------------------------------> A missing
#2 A7M2 Reppu (prototype and fictional) -------------------------------------> A and B missing
#2 B7A2 Ryusei-Kai "Grace" (752 Navy Sq., Yokosuka-Ku) ------------------> all re-uploaded
#4 Type 0 F1M2B "Pete" (Chitose, Kamikawa-Maru, 958 Sq., Yamato) -----> all re-uploaded
#3 Ki-43-I "Oscar" (Kou, Otsu, Hei) -------------------------------------------> B and C missing
#5 Ki-44-II "Tojo" (Kou A, Kou B, Otsu C, Otsu D, Hei E) --------------------> A, B and D missing
#2 Ki-61-II "Tony II" (Rokuichi-Kai, 56 Sq. bubbletop) ----------------------> A missing
#4 Ki-84 "Frank" (Kou A, Kou B, Kou C, Otsu D) -----------------------------> all missing
#5 Ki-100-I (Kou A, Kou B, Otsu C, Otsu D, Otsu E) -------------------------> all missing

Finally, something I could not identify that he called: [Umiwashi-no Kaikou] Aircraft Pack -----> missing

The B-29A AI did not require a password.

If any of you out there has one or more of the missing models in your archives, please contribute to Yashico's artwork preservation effort. Do upload them. :adoration: :tranquillity:

Thank you!

Kelti,
I have a few of those you listed. I thought they were in the library already.

Hi DD73,

kwb737 sent me yesterday a bunch of them. I am uploading the Mitsubishi A7M2 (A) Reppu "experimental no.3", the Nakajima Ki-84-I (B) "Kou" 47th Sq. Sakura-Tai and the Nakajima Ki-84-I (C) "Kou" flown by Capt. Mazaki. Below the birds uploaded.

What would you prefer, uploading yours or waiting until I sorted out and uploaded the models sent to me by kwb737?

Cheers!
