These are beautiful Chris! Emel is one of the greatest template makers in Il2 and your skins are incredible. Getting us three on the same page was one of the driving forces behind TFM-412. I look forward to us doing a lot more work together in the near future. Resistance is futile
Sitting here and taking a bit of a break with Simon and have decided to
let you all know that we are almost ready to post four,and possibly five
newly constucted templates of most all of the Mitsubishi Templates that have been corrected
and improved by Japan Cat. This didn't happen over night
It has been nearly two years since any working templates have been available.
When JCat had finished his work he sent it back to SAS. I'm sure he was waiting to see that work
used to rebuild brand new templates would be released to our members but something happened.
Whether no one picked up on this, or actually built templates is unknown at this time.Perhaps some of these templates
were started and never finished.Anyway, the end result was time moved on.New upgrades to our Sim and No Zekes.
Several months ago pack of Zero skins appeared for download with no mention of templetes or their availability.
I tried to track down who had done them. More vague answers.
I talked briefly with VP Media and he suggested that there was a way to use the old ones
however, I was working very hard with Simon putting together the new TFM.
I had another connection with Jaeger 1946 who was very supportive of getting this project
off the ground.
I then approached Emel,the best Template maker I know and discussed what I wanted to do and he dropped a project
and the build began after rounding up all JCats work. From the bottom up.
The results have been quite amazing.
Our intention is to go public with all five of these varients to all the folks who have
become frustrated and always confused as to why this did not happen two years ago.
These Templates are quite wonderful,and easy to work with and will be available here at SAS in just a matter of days.
I want to thank Emel who has done a bang up job,Simon who gave us lots of encouragement,as well as Jaeger 1946 who past on yards of very helpful
technical info to Emel.
Lastly, I have been skinning as many of these birds as I can, and will pack them up and release the day the new templates
are rolled out of the hanger.
One last thing. There are places in our community where people lock away templates and do
not make them available to the public.
They are only available to a select few.This is wrong and in my opinion in very poor taste.
It has been going on for a long time. All ego driven,We don't need it,
This is not what Il2, DBW, 412 and other connected groups are about.
No one is getting paid for the thousands of hours of time freely given to this community.
It should always be a happy friendly environment for those who love and appreciate Aviation History.
