Thanks jv44kt, I'll take care of the slot, will be added to a scheduled update for the -I model.
@101tfs, what's wrong with that Type 3 gun reference?

Mike

type 3 gun from IJN， not a IJA machine gun

[SAS~Storebror]

Ah I see. Yes, the text was taken from "Airplane Five-View Album" v2 from April 1974.
Probably they haven't noticed the mismatch.
I'll make it a Ho-103 then.

Ah Yes the Ki-87-II has a 3000 Hp Monster Engine, 2x30mm on the Outer wing Panels, 2x20mm on the Wing Root and 2x12.7mm of Ho-103 gun of the Top Nose as 101fs just Added..  but, have you noticed. the Variant Ki-87-II Exhaust Driven Turbo-Supercharged On the Starboard side was Relocated at the Aft Bottom section of the Fuselage. That’s where the Nakajima Ha-217 (Ha-44) with 3000 horsepower Monster engine..


Best Regards KT503

P.S Mike, do your best. 😁😁😁

Version 1.01 of "our" version has been uploaded in 1st post, including the Ki-87-II conversion by jv44kt.

Readme is included, usually it would be part of the 1st post but due to the nature of this mod (two versions popped up simultaneously, but independently) here it is not, however since this update is just about "our" version, I take the liberty to post the readme with it, 'cause it includes the credits (thanks to jv44kt again):

Extract this file and copy the "Ki-87 Mod Base Package" folder to your game's
modded files folder. This is a subfolder of your IL-2 1946 game folder, the name
differs depending on the modpack you're using, for instance the folder name could be
"#SAS", "#WAW3", "#DBW", "#UP#" or just "MODS".

Add the following lines to your air.ini file.
The file usually can be found in the following location:
<Your IL2 game folder>/<your modded files folder>/STD/com/maddox/il2/objects/air.ini
Add this line:

Ki-87-I           air.KI_87_I                         2 NOINFO  ja01  SUMMER
Ki-87-II          air.KI_87_II                        2 NOINFO  ja01  SUMMER


ATTENTION:  You need some kind of "DiffFM" mod installed in your game.
            BAT, SAS Modact 5/6, DBW and UP3 ship with DiffFM included by default,
            others need to make sure to have it installed, otherwise your game will crash at 60%.

            Some links for DiffFM mods (not comprehensive):
            4.09m:                https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,3988.0.html
            4.10m (incl. UP3):    https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12169.0.html

            HSFX 7:               https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,38980.0.html

ATTENTION²: You need "SAS Common Utils" mod Version 1.12 or later installed in your game.
            BAT, Ultrapack 3.3 and later, VP Modpack and SAS Modact 6 ship with SAS Common Utils included
by default, but it might be outdated!
            You need to make sure to have the required version installed,
            otherwise your game will crash when you fly this plane.

            Get the latest SAS Common Utils here, it works for any base game version and causes no conflicts
            with any other mod or mod pack, comes as a simple non-intrusive addon with no side effects:
            https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,40490.0.html

IL-2 4.09 Rebels need to have the "AircraftLH Stub Class Mod" installed.

heads up:
Since the slot class changed it's name now, Poltava's campaign won't work anymore.

[SAS~Storebror]

Yep, sorry for that, but it's been inevitable as the old slot had no version number, and now that we've got two versions (-I and -II) it's been time to get that straight.
Should be no big deal to edit the campaign accordingly, and on that occasion, maybe add the -II as an option to it.


Mike

I know once messengers who brought bad news were killed, but again I found a strange bug.
The Ki-87-I has a strangely bent rear landing gear when standing in line as AI. As soon as it starts moving, the chassis is positioned correctly. The Ki-87-II does not have this error.
It was tested in BAT 4.1.3 and in version 4.13.4. There is nothing in the log about it, so I do not include it.

[SAS~Storebror]

Thanks for the report, will get fixed in another update next week.


Mike

[SAS~Storebror]

Yep, wasn't aware of the additional 3 cowl flaps (8/9/10), will fix this next week as well.


Mike

[Kelso]

Two weeks be sure...
