Shinden ALPHA April 13, 2000
-----------------------------------

This plane contains chunks of the Yak-3 and A6M5 (zero) so you probably need these installed plus it's a Japaneese plane so you will want the Nations addon installed. Unzip to your fighter squadron directory. Once Installed you should see a "shinden vs shinden elf island" mission in your test missions folder section when you start the game.

Note that there's still some balance issues so the plane will be very twitchy unless you have full fuel tanks. I believe this can easily be solved by placing seperate fuel tank objects wherever they were on the original plane. FM and loadouts are not complete, and the 3d model prolly needs a major redo since I downloaded it from the net.

I still have a LOT of flying this one even though it looks like junk, the AI can fly it very well (too well sometimes! It looks very strange in a dogfight with the wings and prop in the back, it looks like it's flying backwards !

There are no FM 'cheats' on this plane.. no hidden wings rudders or props.. you are actually flying a simulation of a plane with a pusher prop and elevators on the front, rudders on the wings.

I have no plans to finish this plane, feel free to make any changes you want to it.

All I can say is WOW. that is so damn cool. Handles really nice too.

Can you send me the 3 view or pack it into the zip with the plane?

Not as much fun in a dogfight now but flies more like the interceptor it was.

Cool. So what about the X-wing on that site? Can you get that in the air?
