I've been trying to take advantage of all the cool stuff
people have been making for the Chinese Theater.
I just looove carrier ops and the invasion of Shanghai
is the perfect opportunity to combine the two.

I needed a Japanese carrier plane operating during the
time. A5M4s are the obvious choice, but I wanted a
bi-plane naval fighter. Well it turns out, historically the
japanese based their a2n2 and a4n1 on the f4b1 - 4
series. There's no cfs2 a4n1 out there now, but they
look VERY much f4b1s. So I found an fs2000 f4b1, made
a new texture, some .dp .air and aircraft.cfg tweeks
and voila! A4N1!

...

I took this one up against Curtiss Hawk IIs and I-16s and had a blast! I just love the resultant tight-turning
dogfights. Thrilling! hehehe.

By the way, Stiz, I used Simviation's world mesh in this
area. Looks pretty good I think. Cheers!

  Sometime ago I got into flying and fighting against 1930's era aircraft in the quick combat mode of CFS1.  I too had a blast trying to keep up with those nimble turning critters!!  Not to mention that some of those birds were very heavily armed also!

RabbitHawk you can find a few Japanese and chinese planes of the ere at this web:

1.http://www.geocities.com/coreacfs/enlaces.htm?200515

You think with your permission can we have your new Japanese Biplane uploaded. I would appreciate it.

You can find here some here if you look hard at www.Sim-outhouse.com

Thank you for you information RabbitHawk

O I forgot there are also airfields at the sceneries section right here in this same web. Just look in the Scenery section.

I hope I have been helpful

Hey James,

I think I would have to get the permission of the
original modeler before I upload this. It does have
quite a few modifications and additional files.

I am planning a suite of 4 mini-campaigns all based in
China beginning in August 1937. Unlike the usual for
me, most of the components for the campaigns are
already made. I already have:

Eastern Asia runways vol 2. - Xavier
China Mesh - Simviation World Mesh

I-16, Hawk III - Ivan Hsu
I-16 - Bruno Duffort
Ki-10, sb-2-100, Hawk II, Northrop Gamma - Thicko
A5M4 (made a new texture for this) - 1% team
A5M4 - Eric Joiner (I think)
G3M2 Nell - Corrado LaPosta?

I have looked everywhere but, I am still looking for:

B2M2 - planning a faux relacement for this
B3Y1
B4Y1 Jean
D1A2 Susie
A2N2
A4N1 - I have faux relacement for this

Ivan Hsu provided a huge amount of information about
the Sino-Japanese "incident" with his Hawk III, and
Hakan's aviation page provides blow-by-blow, day-by-
day description of the air combat in 1937. Yay! The
research is already done for me.

I would like to post the campaigns up when completed,
but I am not sure if anyone would appreciate the faux
replacements I will use in the Japanese naval segment.
