Great bird , but the sounds are from the original game , using VP modpack that has JiverSOUNDS_4.12 plus I use tigers soundmod, so can you add custom sounds for the aircraft in the game to change to something more meatier the a lawnmower, No criticism of the mod just want to add some more realistic sounds, plus where is the skin in the screen shot.

Agreed, Max. I thought there might be something wrong with the scale of the pilot model. But after seeing your picture, it's clear that it's a big-ass plane!

Thanks tfs101 and Storebror for making this interesting and little known aircraft, especially since it is Japanese, which many people don't seem to do. I love doing fantasy combat, which pits experimental and/or prototype aircraft against similar or standard military types to see how they would have fared. I have run a few QM dogfights and have managed to shoot down a few flying an F8F Bearcat or an F7F Tigercat, but have not had much luck with the F6F Hellcat. Again, a great job well done.

The sound is stock intentionally in order to keep the mod compatible with every base game version available.
Unfortunately the choice of engine sounds is pretty limited in that case.

Alternatively, please find another flight model file attached to this post where instead the Nakajima Sakae sound from Modact 5+ is referenced, that should fit a little better.
To install, just extract the "KI94II_FM" from this zip file to your "Ki-94-II" mod folder and overwrite the existing file there (you might want to make a backup of the original file for safety reasons, that's up to you).

  I can't speak about CUP 20 but I can tell you that it flies fine in VP's modpak without any FPS loss at all. And I can promise you I have absolutely stuffed this copy with planes and a moderate amount of other mods. It GROANS when ever I open it!!  o_O

Dear Darkwind,
sorry for the trouble, I had my log=1 in my conf.ini. I made a test with log=0 and got 60fps.
It is a plane which stalls easily. I crashed three times in a row.
Thank you and best regards.

When the plane gives you so many log entries that activating the log causes the FPS to drop from 60 to 7, then it would be very interesting to see what exactly gets written to the log there.
Could you please show us your log contents so we can try to figure out the cause, thereby avoiding similar issues for other players?
Thanks!

The readme clearly points out that the supercharger and cockpit location caused this plane design to become pretty tail heavy, therefore it's supposed to have tricky stall behaviour.
This is one of the few planes where even AI sometimes flips the plane on it's back ;)
By the way the readme also tells you the flat spin recovery procedure for this plane.
Quite like in real life, it's vital to read and understand the pilot's notes before you jump the seat of such a beast ;)

I launched the game with log=1 and the Ki 94 on qmb. I got 7 fps then suddenly 50 and then 7 again. Hereunder my log text: rows  of "to many vertexes" then an improvement then "too many vertexes" again. I must say that I installed  sweetfx downloaded from M4T yesterday. Is there a connection?

Post by: SAS~Storebror on August 09, 2016, 07:21:21 AM

Thanks for the log lines tartenmuche.
It looks like you are not running your game in "perfect mode", therefore more restrictive 3D object limits apply to your game.
If your game is running in OpenGL mode, you might want to take a look at our conf.ini settings guides:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,9756.msg185327.html#msg185327

If your PC cannot run the game in OpenGL mode and you're forced to use DirectX (like e.g. when you use Integrated IntelHD graphics on a Laptop for instance) then there might be no fix available.

Best regards - Mike

Speaking of stall characteristics, it seems to be impossible to land this thing  o_O

Once you slow down around 300 km and put it nose down with zero throttle, it has a severe case of aileron conversion! Sometimes even total lack of control. Deploying landing gear only worsens the situation, flaps do not really help. Again, only making things worse (combat flaps are OK, but anything beyond that is suicidal). I have no problems with a plane being tricky but - this seems bugged. (Same when I throttle up, the plane starts dancing midair, before settling in general direction.)

Otherwise, I of course love this thing. It's just that it feels quite sad to me that this plane cannot be landed.

I am running MA 5.3 with latest (I believe) Western's beta-patch for engine mod.

Yes Koty, this bird was impossible to fly.
That's intentional, aerodynamics can be tricky at times.
The "mistake" the japs did was to put a large 6-blade prop on a plane with laminar flow wings.
The U.S. noticed the same when they built their P-51H, where a 5-blade prop was tested briefly and got quickly abandoned in favor of the "old" 4-blade one.
Thing is that when the airflow leaves the laminar surface on such a wing in prop lee and the gap between the blades is small enough to cause an interference "wave" pattern on lee side, the effect of rudders in that airflow zone in fact will be inverted.

Nevertheless, I understand that this is a little too much realism for the standard armchair pilot we are, so please find a new version of this bird released in first post.
It differs in FM only, in that it now has the Modact sounds by default and the prop wash control surface inversion has been removed and the plane generally is a little more stable in the air.

Here are some flight model data figures, blue is Ki-94-II, red is Ta-152H-1 for comparison, light is normal, dark is WEP power.
Note that the flight behaviour of the two is completely different, but since they fulfill the same role, the performance naturally is similar.

Post by: Koty on September 05, 2016, 04:11:07 PM

well - it inverted mainly the ailerons - that should be outta the the zone behind the prop ;) it also interfered with flaps heavily. And so.

Before testing the new version, I am going to test the old one, if it actually is what you describe - or if it is actually bugged. I love challange. But I do not like bugs being the reason for challange ;)

Reminds me of that MiG-25 on hiatus - something similar I wanted to model there, but that was for high IAS, not low :))
<--- you know, first things first - some mods have priority ;)

Post by: SAS~Storebror on September 05, 2016, 11:07:43 PM

Test it, you're welcome.
Let me give you a little further insight in what's happening here:
IL-2 of course doesn't resemble physics close enough to simulate the prop interference pattern on laminar surfaces, but it does simulate the prop wash distribution across the plane's surfaces.
That's why the corrective measure to get rid of aileron inversion was to reduce the prop diameter.
I could as well have moved the ailerons away from the plane's centerline but that would have caused other unintended handling changes.

Best regards - Mike

Post by: Koty on September 06, 2016, 03:08:59 AM

I see now... putting all my knowledge together, I even landed it, with the old FM (trick is - you cannot throttle down at low altitude when nose-down, or something) - but thanks to short cirquits kicking my rudder and thus reducing the effective deflection I can give it on my own, it steered out of the RWY, breaking the legs... >.>

As promised, here is a campaign for this gem of an aircraft. I'm not that much into "What-If's", but this time I couldn't resist myself. See it as a big "Thank you" for this excellent piece of modding:

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t286/Poltava/Ki-94_01_zpskhhco8lr.jpg) (http://s163.photobucket.com/user/Poltava/media/Ki-94_01_zpskhhco8lr.jpg.html)

This is a static, non-historical “what-if” campaign, 8 missions long. It is set in early 1946. The premise is that when Nazi-Germany is defeated in May 1945, fighting breaks out in Europe between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, distracting the war effort of the United States against Japan in the Pacific. At the same time the Manhattan project gets delayed. All this means that Imperial Japan gets a much needed respite, which she uses to abandon many of her hard-won gains, and to concentrate her meagre resources on defending the Home Islands against an inevitable US invasion in 1946 - "Operation Downfall".

You get to pilot the Tachikawa Ki-94-II, which was of course never used operationally. In this campaign it is. (And with those 30mm cannons, it's a real killing machine, not least against B-29's.) But your enemies have "1946"-style aircraft as well. So be prepared to meet the P-80 in dogfights.

Download it here: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=2340

REQUIREMENTS: This campaign has been built for modded 4.12. I made it with the VP Mod Pack, but there is no reason why it shouldn’t work in HSFX or CUP as well, as long as you got 101tfs’ excellent Tachikawa Ki-94-II. No additional downloads except that aircraft is needed.

Some more screenies:

Excellent! Thank you very much for the new campaign, Poltava!  :)

I have a weird question.... is it just my game that I see the airplane skin in the size of 1024 x 512 ?

I thought they would all work much better if they were in the normal size of 1024 x 1024 ?
I think this is the first time I see an airplane skin with these sizes.

I didn't touch the default skin but maybe 101tfs can shed some light on this.

The biggest part of it was done by 101tfs, I'm just the coding bitch.
Nevertheless: Thanks for the appreciation!

Boh .. actually this skin size is unique .. I wanted to add some skins prepared by me in the Ki-94-II skins folder, but can not find the correct size .. all sizes that I have tried are then not visible in the game! If someone found the right size, let me know ..

I'd also like to hear if anyone has found a solution. I also tried to add some skins, but unfortunately IL-2 doesn't want to show 1024 x 512 skins.

The only solution to this strange skin size problem may be re-sizing the skin to 1024x1024 using Photoshop.
That is what I am using.
If you still have problems with the originals skins, I could post my skin version here for the default skins and also for the skin-folder.

Do not be too excited just yet Stanislao  ;D Because when you re-size this type of skin, you will always loose some details
in the lines and rivets and other smaller details. Even adding some extra sharpness to the skin, it still looks a little blurred.
This happens to skins in .tga format and also in the normal .bmp skins saved with the "Bright" plugin.

It is strange that I can use the other skin sizes (default skin 1024x512 size) in my game with no problems
but some people are having problems with their game. Is there some type of "mod" or some type of lines that is
missing from other game versions?

I have been able to use other skin sizes in my old DBW-4.10 game + DBW-1916 and now in the 4.12 VP-Modpack.
You guys are probably missing something. (?)

I got Trouble with The Ki-94

It's being dealt with here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,54808.0.html
This seems to be Engine Mod related and since the source lines match, I take it that you're testing in BAT past EP 07 too.
