Hallo,
having to spend a lot of time with my current best "friend" SARS ( although in a gold insulation
(https://i.postimg.cc/cC0LyXYC/20220715-122523.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/vg2s570w) ),
i have thought to realize another lost causes.
So i have found this RECCE plane, a kind of plane not considered by history because of , as my military carrier as taught to me, that all tough and boring work on acquiring information under enemy's threat is on a low level of fame.
But no missions could be realized without infomations and i think that the role of these kind of planes should be emphasized.
However, the fighters are more spectacular so it is easy to have more pleasure on be considered by people.
(https://i.postimg.cc/dVYM1zXW/One-Ki-70-prototype.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)
So, at the end, here some data taken from WIKI.
The Tachikawa Ki-70 "Clara" was a high speed photo reconnaissance aircraft that was tested for the Japanese Air Force in prototype form but never entered production. The Ki-70 was the intended successor to the Mitsubishi Ki-46 but was difficult to handle and was slower than the Mitsubishi Ki-46. The Ki-70 was first flown in 1943 but was found unsatisfactory and the program was terminated. Three aircraft were built.

This is my WIP1 . As always CWatson is supporting me with his competence, experience,elegance and a good quantity of patience.
(https://i.postimg.cc/WpmY8X1K/Ki-70-wip.png) (https://postimages.org/)
(https://i.postimg.cc/y6pQtwsJ/Ki-70-wip1.png) (https://postimages.org/)
I hope this plane willl have some roles not only as target. It had to be armed with 2 MGun ; the rear one had an original manouvering system as on pic
(https://i.postimg.cc/mDgDzccg/images.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)
(https://i.postimg.cc/htqpFmZw/Mgun-rear.webp) (https://postimages.org/)
The front MGun had to be managed by the observer, but i have not found any pictures concerning it. But we can imagine that the observer's seat must slide forward to gain fire's position.
But Who can really know?
Best regards to Community.

Hi D,
Well a couple of things. Firstly sorry to hear about your SARS, hope you're getting over it. BUT, I'm jealous of what you are looking at out of your front window...grrr!! lol
The Ki-70, great idea and looking very good so far, I like the different and little known ac. I had a search around for info on the front mg, and nothing I could find, so maybe leave it off the model? And thanks to you and CW.
Cheers
Shessi
-
Sad to hear that Dandolo, wishing you a good recovery.
And respect to your workflow still topping such R/L issue.
Glad CW is teaming up with you, that's very good news in the face of sad stuff.
Keep it up
Best wishes
Tobias
-
Nice!
-
very nice and get well soon s don
-
:D Excellent choice the "Clara" Dandolo!
Not to brag .. but I have already done the Sars twice and the second I hardly noticed ... and then what envy for your view! From my house I only see the facades of palaces ...! ;)
-
Best wishes for a speedy and steady recovery!
-
Hallo Gents,
thanks a lot for your greetings.
I hope i will soon able to swim in Lachea isle waters.
-
This is an interesting aircraft. Good work so far!
-
Interesting plane.
On an unrelated note, do you plan making Ki-60 for the game sometimes?
-
Hallo, thanks for attention.
The KI 60 was quite similar to KI 61 Tony
(https://i.postimg.cc/HkPr2n0d/kawasaki-ki-60-05656.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)
I love KI 61 , my best fighter.
I do not make promises for 2 choices:
I prefer do not realize fighters, we have enough on this sim;
I am not wise enough to realize a plane like KI 60.
And last, my significant another is becoming angry with my hobby... :D :D :D.
But in the future I could try as a challenge with myself.
Have a wonderful summer time.

Hallo Gents,
just to write i am negative to SARS from yesterday afternoon.
Thanks to all for being so kind and elegant .
Clara is growing and it is waiting for CWatson 's works.
Best regards .

Glad to hear you have recovered. I'm still positive but asyntomatic.

Take care and safe. ;)

Hallo Gents,
today a new step forward.
CWatson and I have added:
-Front gunner cockpit;
-rear gunner cockpit;
-down opening with latter.

I am trying to map to have the possibility for adding different skins.
I wonder if someone would test this wip.
Best regards
Dandolo513
-
If we are already talking about Japanese aircraft that were not mass-produced, in my opinion, definitely: the Kawasaki Ki-28.
I love these transitional models from biplanes to lower planes with fixed landing gear.
-
a beauty
-
maybe a what-if version to carry 2 boms underneath. she was never used as a bomber historically but to give another variant for ant-shipping maybe
-
Hallo dsawan.
It is a good idea.
I will ask to CWatson.
Meanwhile i will add hooks and bombs hookings.

Hallo,
as requested

cool thumbs up
-
maybe call the one with bombs Ki-70 II and keep the other one without as Ki-70 I
-
(https://i.postimg.cc/W4chTvny/wip1-1-5.png) (https://postimages.org/)
..at first I thought this is just the franken from a Beechcraft !
But I was so wrong: this plane looks more and more impressive every day! :o
-
hallo, thanks.
Following the suggestions of my "editor" Stanislao, i have done smoother the engines and set the stabs.
(https://i.postimg.cc/TYTG6Z6N/engine-more-smooth.png) (https://postimages.org/)
Work in progress

Hallo Gents,
this is a mod almost completed, i hope. I need some suggestions to find issue and every comment is welcome.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/plrqvmbq5zvomg1/Ki-70+Clara+aug+24+WIP.rar/file
I have very hard difficulties on realizing a mapping and i have used a C6N's skin to "dress" the KI 70.
Indeed, this plane had only a skin , as on previous post, but it could be interesting and fascinating to have a camo skin.
So, if some volunteer will be avaible i will be very happy.

:) all fine in 4.10.1 DBW... except when you nose the aircraft and go over the top, the aircraft sinks in the ground... missing hook ?
Anyway Takeoff, landing, use of the two gunner stations works all fine :P :P :P
Thanks again for all the hard work dandolo !!!

-
By the way, if you're looking for a new plane to create... What about the Nakajima E8N, the Amiot 354, the really missing Halberstadt DII for WW1...
Just an idea... :)
-
That's a nice skin. I'd use it if I made a single mission. Maybe in a couple of weeks time. -;) EDIT: Mission is about 2/3 complete.
-
So we need a Brave Skinner... ;)

G'day Dandolo513
Early knockoff today so I took your latest aircraft for a test flight.
Flies like a dream, bit strange having all that Russian writing in the cockpit.
Two things I noticed were the landing gear doors not closing flush and wheels poking through.
When aircraft crashes it simply disappears, which leforban may have been referring to.
To skin this plane I would need to use sknil because it's complicated, however I got this error trying to load the model.

-
Hallo.
I will check for wheels.
The error message could be due to hier him
I mean that sknil needs to have the hier him written in a exact way.
I will check .
Thanks for your kind collaboration
-
Mmm.... a real Halberstadt DII would be cool. I might even be tempted to write a campaign for it.
-
There is one in my WIP hanger for future work.
(https://i.postimg.cc/FHdJ4CpV/halberstadt-d-2-00.png)
-
Many thanks to Dandolo513
It flies beautifully, behaves correctly in the air.
It would be worthwhile to make a movie (video) with this plane in action.
But,heck I don't have time now, I have to work.
A quick peel looks sufficiently

Ciao /Hallo Yaro.
Thanks a lot for your skin.
It is very beautiful. I am really happy for your effort.
And now, with my chutzpah, I ask if You could do the same for my other mods. Lorna is waiting for a skin.
Best regards.
A gratefull Dandolo513
-
Hallo Yaro.
Could You post a link for skins?
Best regards
Dandolo513
-
Hello Dandolo
The skins that I posted in the pictures are only partially correct.
The normal template is missing. It is very difficult to get a satisfactory result.
I would be very happy to make skins for this plane and for Lorna, but I lack the knowledge to make a proper mesh, or stencil, I think it is called. In order to make the skins as needed it should be handled by a master like, for example, Pete "Mission Error".
If I manage to paint,c I will post a link right away.
Greetings
-
Yaro ok.
But for me it would be enough for my esclusive pleasure.
If You agree , You can send me a PM.
Best regards.

A Halberstadt DII ?
Ooooo, you lovely man !
This news has quite made my day :P

That's a nice skin. I've made a single mission for the Ki70. Could you upload it to M4T, or Mediafire please? I'd like to use it.
cheers

Dandolo and David
There you go Gentlemen, I point out that these skins still need a lot of work. ]notworthy[

Hallo Yaro.
Thanks a lot. I am very happy for your work.
I will use for my amusement only.
If some will make an effort on these skins , he will be welcome.

Hallo genXgamer.
I have found the issue ( so i am going to close the topic i have opened regarding this issue) and i post the hier .him that sknil can open.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/3ir8adijfrapbwd/Clara+hier.him.rar/file
I hope this will make You able to realize a skin or complete Yaro59's skins.
In addition, i have eliminated that ugly effect on wheels's doors bay and vatorL.
So i add all the mod with edited meshes.

Thank you Dandolo
I have downloaded, I will see what I can do in my free time.
As I wrote here currently a lot of my time is taken up by work.
Best regards and I wish you success. ]thumright[
-
Hallo Gents,
i need an help. As leforban and genXgamer have written , the plane disappeas when crash. I have checked all hooks and i do not understand. If the plane chashes on the forest , it burns . If crashes on the land, a runway and so on, it desappears.
It is the first time this issue happens with my works. I have forgotten anything?
Any idea?
Best regards.
Dandolo513
-
hallo Gents,
i have edit my mod to make it possible to map in a better way. I have tried to put some skins on these new meshes and it is possible ..also for me.
So, if some good samarithan would be make an attempt, i could send these edited mod on PM. This collaboration will make me able to edit my mods for the skinning.
Best regards.
Dandolo513

Hallo Gents.
In this period i have been involved on a blind attempt to realize a skin. My issue is on to make skinnable the meshs.
I have made an attempt os Yaro's skin.

Meanwhile, i have kindly asked to CWatson a radar version having a radar cockpit instead od front gunner.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/575nmuta3jn1znx/Ki-70+Claras+set+07+wip+RADAR.rar/file
I will post the final version when i will have an appropriate skin.
Best regards

Good luck Dandolo ]thumright[
It remained to wait...

Perhaps this tool by Stainless would be of use for the beginnings of generating templates for your planes.

Hallo.
This is a step forward.
I will explore this tool and I will report the result.
In the other front i will search an help for blender
to obtain a template.
It needs a long time for the teacher i have found.
Thanks again for precious support .

Hallo Le forban ,
at the end i have found the issue ; it was on Nose1 ' s collision.
(https://i.postimg.cc/PxjcYN6Z/Ki-70-exploded.png) (https://postimages.org/)
Meanwhile i have started to realize some skins , very far from the quality the Community is accostomed to see...
But this plane needs some skins and as Zflyer ' motto says : "There is no failure in doing; only in not trying."
The skins are included in mod's folder.

You did it... You're the man...
It doesn't sink in the ground anymore and I land nosed it just to be shure...
The general was in fury...
It works perfect now... In 4.10.1 DBW...
Love the radar with its parasite points...
Just so cool...

Hallo Gents,
some steps foreward with textures. Now i am be able to put the texture along the plane's surfaces without solution of continuity.
(https://i.postimg.cc/MZNXSc1g/Texture-camo-up.png) (https://postimg.cc/z3wqwGtk)
(https://i.postimg.cc/J43Hhm31/Texture-camo.png) (https://postimg.cc/zVBGdsPM)
I have to find the way to make the same between wings and arones , stabs and vators, keel and rudder.
Best regards
Dandolo513

Wow Dandolo, you can see the progress of your hard work.
Good luck ]thumleft[
-
Great addition, thank you very much to all involved. 8)
Just one issue, I have no guns firing for the gunner stations, can you please tell us if this needs a particular weapons pack?
Take care and be safe.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D
-
Yaro59 and Mission bug you are very kind.
About the issue, I use Bat FP and all work fine.
I have relayed to CWatson for having some more data.
Ciao
Dandolo513
-
Hallo Mission_bug.
This is the replay from CWatson
========
The plane uses stock weapons. If the weapons were missing from game, drop down menu on loadouts would not work.
Tested weapons fir by AI and when you choose gunners' cockpits.

I hope this could be useful.
Best regards.

Hello guys, thanks for the reply, really appreciated.
The bombs are there, however when I enter the gunner positions nothing happens when I pull the trigger!
I will try the aircraft again moving it up the hierarchy of the folder and see if that helps.
Take care and be safe.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Hallo Gents,
the tachikawa KI 70 should be completed. I think someone will find some issue and i will be pleased to know about them.
I have adapted some skins from Saiun by Stefano, Stanislao and Yaro59 to Clara .
The KI 70 was only a prototype and i have found one historical picture about its skin So i have made a white skin and the others are only my and Yaro59's imagination.

Nice work

Hallo,
i add some more skins , most are edited from some ones send to me by Yaro59. It is necessary to improve the down surfaces of the plane. I mean stabs, vators , CF, Nose1, tail1 and engines. It is due to the deformations caused by curves and some lost parts of drawnings ( stabs and vators).
So if some good fellow wants to work on them , i will be very happy and grateful.
To realize template for my mods, i need some help to understand how obtain a template from Blender. On this way i will be indipendent on almost all the creation fo a mod.

Thank you very much for the update, really appreciated. 8)
I managed to sort out why my guns were not firing, something wrong with the control settings. :-[
Recently I had a major issue with Windows and ended up reinstalling, since then I have had some odd occurances with joystick and mouse not picking up the setting I want them to. Anyway, after adding the latest update I returned the sim settings to default and the guns could be fired again, sadly some of the buttons on the joystick are not activating some of the controls I want it to. o_O
Take care and be safe.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Ciao Pete,
This is a good new.
Sometimes we become crazy for very strange issue to our Sim.
But ...when we resolve ...ohhh we are relieved .
Thanks for your appreciation for my mod.
Thanks a lot.

Hallo Gents,
as an help for Who would realize a skin for Clara, i can add a UV realized with Blender. It could be used as a mask to recognize the mesh's correct position on the skins i have posted.
(https://i.postimg.cc/Y0rXpBC3/template-14-ott-rev.png) (https://postimg.cc/gX7yD5RX)
I will try to improve this template, but i need some help to understand how work on Blender to realize a UV as a template.
Thanks .

Hallo ,
Tachikawa KI 70 is on airplane-twin section. The last revision is related to CF openig, now it is possible to see inside the plane.
(https://i.postimg.cc/nz5mC4z7/CF-opening.png) (https://postimages.org/)
It needs some very good skins, but waiting i have introduced some from Stefano, Stanislao and Yaro59 realized for C6N Saiun. They are on skins's section.
