Most excellent work, ten010! Thank you very much!

 Thank you, ten010.

Now I'm really wishing I hadn't burned out my GPU playing Minecraft

I have been able to add the plane and the sub as AI only in a QuckQMBPro mission. I have tried to make a QuckQMBPro mission to fly it but it always says " Data Corrupt"

I'm running DBW.

I changed the download link.
M6A1 for 4.10.1https://www.mediafire.com/?vlll9qujg6dtnwl
M6A1 for 4.11.1https://www.mediafire.com/?2c5e7127wuaeqcd

Magnificent work TenO! Great sub and magnifent plane. More over... I managed to take off with catapult power in my DBW version 4.101! This is what I did.
After install of both the plane and the sub, I copied this data

[I400_Srf]
dCatapultOffsetX 3.3
dCatapultOffsetY 0
catapultPower     35
bSteamCatapult 1

which can be found in the file inside your JapanSubmarines, which is the unzipped I-400 downloadof course, and added this to

Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#DBW\!SAS_Engine_Mod_4101m_v26 (which is a great Mod by the way)\com\maddox\il2\objects\catapults. This repositions the Seiran more towards the middle of I-400 deck.

Next I altered the following data in the same file, (just on top) after backing up everything of course 

catapultPower 0
catapultPowerJets 0
bSteamCatapult 0

to

catapultPower 30
catapultPowerJets 0
bSteamCatapult 1

save!

How to operate the plane? I made a small mission in FMB with one single Seiran taking off from a I400 to try everything out. (Will also try it out with torpedo under the belly)
Start engine - unfold wings - flaps settings to take off and next... full power for about four seconds. Toggle chockes ONCE and...
off you go. Be carefull though... the plane really goes up steeply. As I fly with the highest IL-2 difficulty settings possible, bad steering can turn into accidents. Keeping a little bit of forward pressure on the control stick does it.
But what matters is... it works! Great show! Thanks for these Mods Ten0!

Greetings,

Jenato

  Even taking off loaded with torpedo works fine!
What I forgot to tell for those who also want to try it out: don't forget to set the speed of the sub considerably high. 24 mph, for instance, will slightly help the plane to take off a little bit easier. In fact this is the same procedure used with carrier take offs. Ships bow into the wind, rev up the knots and up they go! 

Greetings,

Jenato

Thanks so much ten010 for this amazing mod - so much fun & really ingenious 
And thanks very much for creating a 4.10.1 version 
Hopefully the start of some exciting mods - CAM ships, Battleship catapults etc...

Hi Ten

Truly awesome work for 4.10 being a dbw man myself 

Got it all loaded Sairen flying fine I-400 surfaced and submrerged running great 

Just needed the info from  Jenato  to help with launching in 4.10

Thanks again for  NOT being clueless Jenato   (as some times I can be)

New technique for IL-2 probably a tad easier then those helis

Mark, i suspect it might not work in QMB because i think QMB needs to see a carrier to use for takeoff, and it might not be recognising this as a carrier?

I created a simple mission in QMB. Some errors will remain in the log, but I will operation. The explosion known issues and trying to appear airplane one machine or more of the submarine. I want to give three aircraft as historical fact, but the appearance position seems to overlap.
Try the mission.

For those interested in such matters, there is a fascinating book about the I-400 class and the Seiran:
"Operation Storm" by John J. Geoghegan.
