Many thanks for the plane!

Is it possible to fix a minor bug: while ai-gunners can move their barrels, but bullets (and muzzle-flash) emanate just from fixed position in space, so they fail to hit enemy. (Some HOOK-fixing?)

Thank you again for the peculiar plane!

Installed it in my 4.12.2 w/MA5.3, took a look at the external and noticed how small the flight crew is, it looks like some little kids are flyin it like they stole it.......LOL..

The bomb bay doors can't be opened in my game unless the autopilot is on......how can I solve it? :)

I agree Mike, perhaps its a 412 issue, the flightcrew do look a bit small to me as well.  Maybe we can look forward to a fix for this minor issue?

I think we need to remember that this is a heavy four engine bomber, the same size as US four engine bombers. It was longer, had a larger wing area and stood higher than a B-24 Liberator! It had more than twice the power of a B-24. The Kurowashi''s sleek lines makes one forget about this beast's size. This thing is HUGE!  ;)

Perhaps the seats can be raised a bit though, since it seems the pilot can't see over the dashboard.
One thing that would be great is if someone with the correct know-how can make the defensive turrets move, since they currently just shoot straight out, making them useless for self defense.

Here are some stats:

Type:       Heavy Bomber
Crew:       Five
Powerplant:    Four 24-cylinder, liquid-cooled X-engines, each developing 2,500hp, each pair driving two, metal, 3-bladed contra-rotating propellers
Dimensions
Span:       32.82m/107.7ft
Length:   21.09m/69.2ft
Height:    5.88m/19.3ft
Wing Area:   133.00 sq.m/1,431.6 sq.ft
Weights
Loaded:    17,850kg/39,352lb
Performance
Max speed:   690km/h/429mph
Cruise speed:   589km/h/366mph
Landing speed:   145km/h/90mph
Range:    5,900km/3,666 miles
Ceiling:   15,100m/49,540ft
Fuel Weight:   8,000kg/17,636lb
Armament
Eight machine guns and four 23mm cannons; up to 8,000kg (17,636lb) of bombs
The Kurowashi had remotely fired ball turrets in the leading and trailing edge of the wings.

Very good points trent.  The S31 is a large aircraft.  Here's a shot on walkaround.

Yes indeed, this is a large airplane.
I have flown this irplane on and off in the past months, but it still needs some fixes.

I have been able to do some little fixes for it too, like normalizing all the light shine on all its
parts. because some parts (like the wheels) look too bright and white colored.
By adjusting all the files to a set of values, this will make the entire airplane look much better. 
I tried raising the height of the pilots seat, but I could not do it  :(
