Is the package carrier-compatible? Because when I tried to land on a carrier, the tail hook would not deploy (both human pilot and AI), and this is what happened:

Yes. It is.

A6M2 Model11, A6M5c Model52c, A6M7 Model62, A6M7 Model63 and A6M8 Model54 haven't tail hooks.
Landing on carriers using theese planes is your own risk...
To increase your chances use carriers with a long flight deck (Taiho, for example).

What type of game do you use?
B.A.T. WAW, SAS ModAct 5.3 + A6M Pack or...?

Modact 6.4 for 4.13.4

I tested it in B.A.T.

A6M2 Model11, A6M5c Model52c, A6M7 Model62, A6M7 Model63 and A6M8 Model54 haven't tail hooks.

OK, I see the problem. I was flying the A6M8, which was designed way late in the war when IJN had no operational carriers.

This Pack is working in SAS MA 5.3

Please, tell me how can I get this type of 250 kg bomb?

In my B.A.T. WAW install and SAS ModAct 5.3 + A6M Pack (with JapanCat Arms v2011.01.01 of course) I have only non modded 250 kg bomb for all A6M types...
I suppose that on this screenshot is updated 250Kg bomb from JapanCat Arms v2011.01.01... Right?
Also in the SAS ModAct 5.3 version 150 l. and 300 l. droptanks are dark grey (as in non modded game), while in B.A.T. WAW they are light grey...
What could be the problems ?

Another question:
Is it possible to add 2 x150 l. droptanks to A6M2 Model 21 Late and A6M5 Model 52b Otsu weapons ?


And is it possible to add 300 l. wooden droptank (as in non modded game) to A6M5 Model 52b Otsu weapons ?


It will be very nice to have such options of weapons!


Thank you in advance.

Alright Sakai,
I made some tests and I have to say that changing the design of the engine cooling vents in the"Alpha_Channel" layer
will not do any good.
The skin will show a cut-out area - but it will also let the viewer see the other side of the aircraft or even the sky.
See this screen...


So this option is not good.
The best way to show whatever new design you paint on your skins, is to simply remove the "alpha-channel" areas which
are painted in black. By painting these areas in White-color the aircraft will have a solid area. - Do not paint the entire alpha-channel
in white color, just this area around the engine air cooling vents.

I have made a test by painting in the default skin with my version of the engine cooling vents. I have also added the Japanese roundels from
eMel´s skin-template.


-


So, if you want the default skins to have this area to look solid, you will need to paint ALL the default skins "alpha-channels" and
and then save each skin in 1024x1024 size "skin1o.tgb", 512x512 "skin1o.tga", 128x128 "skin1p.tga"and 32x32 "skin1q.tga".
AND
also re-paint ALL the default 50+ skins to have this new detail on their engine sides , because those default skins do not have this painted on them.

Then it is possible to have the same look as in the WW2 photo


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my version of the skin details - Size 1024x1024 (PNG format)
use it if you wish on the default skins.  Just place it over any skins.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cheers

I can not start a new thread, so I put it here.
It is a set of PA_Jeronimo corrections (wheels + propellers) + new reticle + Barnesy pilots gathered in one place.
All improvements here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/2ups5nantmstqn4/JCats_A6M_Pack__2011.06.05_upgrade_full_v1.01.7z/file
For those who already have wheel and propeller upgrades (PA-Jeronimo in his pack did not include all JapanCat A6M Pack catalogs - I advise you to download and complete it) - the parcel only with the pilots by Barnesy:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/pe48w9icv365eio/JCats_A6M_Pack__2011.06.05_upgrade_only_pilots_v1.01.7z/file

Readme:  Place the mod catalog BEFORE the JapanCat A6M Pack.


Requirements:          JapanCat A6M Pack      https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,10774.0.html
                                  JapanCat Arms:   https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,10767.0.html

Enjoy.

Edit - Official Moderator Warning: Do Not Quote Full Posts!

but kelso is to rewrite the old pack of japancat ? or to erase all olds parts and install this new? with new line in weapons and air.ini ?

[Kelso]

You can overwrite, you can add separately (before the JC pack). This is just a supplement, it does not require any entries to air.ini, etc.

I'm sorry! Mistake in testing. Missing texture:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/jy406xpg4ofdzen/Maskj.7z/file
It should be placed in the catalog: JCats_A6M Pack  2011.06.05 upgrade full/3do/plane/tekstures
                                                  JCats_A6M Pack  2011.06.05 upgrade only pilots//3do/plane/tekstures
In the evening I will do reupload - the package will be complete + a small bonus.
