  2. creating each model thumbnail for the library.

Oh, I almost forgot: THANK YOU CAPTAIN KURT AND KWB737 FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION!!! :encouragement:

Cheers!

Your very welcome Kelti. I've had these for awhile. I sent a email to Yasuhiko Sasaki yashico@cna.ne.jp in February of 2012 asking him if he could send me the passwords to download his aircraft from his site. Shortly thereafter I received the password list from him and started downloading his aircraft. I put all the aircraft that downloaded away for safe keeping. If I remember correctly the reason I don't have A7M1 Reppu (A) , Ki-43-I "Oscar" (B) , Ki-84 "Frank" (A and D), and the [Umiwashi-no Kaikou] Aircraft Pack is that the passwords Yashico sent me for these particular items did not work for some reason, and as a result I was not able to download them. If anyone else has these particular items that would not download for me that would be great.
 
I've got the A7M1A and A7M2A , the Ki431B, Ki84B & Ki84D, if it's any help. Must check the passwords for the Ki84's -yep - they all work.

I've already sent the A7M2A and the Ki84B to Kelti for upload but could sure use the rest SPman. Thank you. :encouragement:

Hi SPman,

I uploaded the Ki84 B yesterday, together with the C. Send me, or upload it directly, the Ki84 Otsu D.

I uploaded the A7M2 A yesterday. Again send me, or upload the A7M1 A prototype, together with the Ki43-I Otsu B, this is the only one remaining to complete Yashico's Oscar series.

I just replied to your PM including my e-mail address, which hasn't changed in ages.

Thank you for your help. As long as the files in the pack are Yashico's original work, do upload them yourself. The only thing we need to do is taking a screenshot for the necessary thumbnail picture, to help identifying the pack correctly for download.

A SUGGESTION TO EVERYBODY WILLING TO HELP COMPLETE THIS PRESERVATION EFFORT:

please, let's stay in touch in order to avoid uploading duplicates. It happened in the past and it truly makes our good librarian Rami's life difficult.

Remember:

  • duplicate uploads confuse newcomers and/or whoever has not the historical memory of some of us SOH vets;
  • they can also confuse experten of this website;
  • duplicate uploads uselessly eat up hard disk storage room on SOH server. Don't forget the yearly fundraising is not that far away, every so often the administrators are forced to upgrade the server HDD's because they are filled up to the brim. Let's be responsible, let's help keeping this recurring cost hit us the least possible times.

Thank you, everybody!

New uploads for today:

Kawasaki Ki-61-II Kai "Tony II" early model
Kawasaki Type 5 Ki-100-I Kou, 111st Sq.

[Umiwashi-no Kaikou] Aircraft Pack -------------------------------------------> missing

Thank you Finn for uploading the Kawanishi N1K1Ja (B) which completes Yashico's George series, the Mitsubishi A7M1 (A) prototype completing the M1 Reppu series and the Nakajima Ki-27 (A) & (B), which completes the Nate series.

I completed the Ki-100-I series sent to me by kwb737, as attached.

I will be getting the Ki-44 "Tojo" A, B and D ready over the weekend and upload them on Monday. They will complete the Tojo series.

All we have left to find to have Yashico's entire collection restored to SOH are:


  1. A7M2 "Reppu" (B) fictional
  2. Ki-84 "Frank" A & D
  3. Ki-43-I "Hayabusa" B

Four models plus the aircraft pack left. Not too bad, I dare say. A good weekend to everybody! :redfire:

Cheers!

I have the A7M2B (Fictional) and will upload it today....DONE

It looks strangely like the one Kdriver uploaded with the same tail ID.
Yashiko's original readme file in this one definitely says it is the B (Fictional) model.

It's a duplicate entry of the A7B2B. I believe you and Kdriver uploaded the same aircraft. The A7M2A Reppu Experimental No,3 and it has a different tail # but it will not load for me so I emailed Kelti to look at it. Also looks like there is a duplicate for the F1M2 PETE Seaplane Carrier "Kamikawa-Maru also.

Not yet there

Friends, I fear we are far from having it all. What about the seaplane carrier "Kamikawa-Maru" and the battleship Yamoto? (OK, this latter ship has been created by others). I received a kind mail from mr. Yashico himself with the codes for his creations, and here he mentioned also those ships. Since he allowed them codes, he surely must have put them on the net, right? I uploaded said mail in my upload too, so please look for his listing. Yasihco was a true artist, and his work deserves to be preserved. Unfortunately we have lost so many talented geniusses lately, but as long as CFS-2 still is alive and kickin' we should strive to preserve their legacy here. By the way: Upload is very difficult, if you have more than just one, single file. This should be amended.:jump::dizzy:

The codes and items you are referring to are not for ships but seaplanes assigned to those ships you mentioned. "Kamikawa-Maru", "Yamoto".
 
Kelti, et al

I checked my A7m2B file and is the same as DD73's Tail code Reversed "E"-168.

This is from a file DL'ed from Yashico's original site in 2010, so I'm pretty sure it's the valid one for it.

I checked the rest of my Yashico dls, and You already have what I have.

Sorry not to get back sooner but my Yashico files were in storage, which meant a 300 mile round trip, so it had to wait till I was going that way anyway.
 
Found the problem of why the YS2A7M2A would not load. Problem was in the panel cfg. file. I deleted what was in there and aliased it to the B model it fixed the problem and now loads properly.
