Directories Kayaba and Kayaba_Bombs go to your mods folder.
Kayaba_Bombs, they came from the _armsJapan_WW2 pack made by Dreamk, both bombs IJN60kgAS and IJN60kgASmod1 has its 3d updated by me: lods and textures, java remains unchanged.
If you already have _armsJapan_WW2 containing those bombs on your install you may delete classfiles leaving only folder with updated 3d.
Default skins are grey for both models.If you want change to green go to the 3d plane folder: 3do/plane/Kayaba-1 or 3do/plane/Kayaba-2, depend on wich one you want to change and copy/paste/overwrite textures from summer_green to summer.
To change it back from green to grey copy/paste from summer_grey to summer.
Kayaba-1 and Kayaba-2 from Skins place into yours .../paintschemes/skins directory.
About Flight Model: game doesnt allow autorotation so its more like a STOL aircraft.High wing area (rotor) cause nose pitch, elevator and rudder trim is enabled to ease controls in flight.
Mod tested with Modact 6.40 and UP3.4 works, other game version should be ok too.

When carying bombs theres only a pilot, no observer, its because weight limit.
