A6m2-n 'Rufe':

*Water 'bounce' and 'spouts' have been significantly reduced
*New undercarriage, wheels and gear well added (AI airfield landing characteristics improved)
*Wingtip lights added thanks to razer & nat. I've devised a system whereby they can be switched on /off via the aircraft loadout, i.e., AI aircraft can start with lights on or off. A keystroke command can also switch these lights on or off
*Bullet holes appear on wings and fuselage when 'hits' are taken
*Float shapes now historically accurate. New float rudder and pitot tube added
*Pilot's head moves in sync with stick position
*Realistic 'japan100 bombs used (thanks to mposis)
*New 'skin' of YII-105 flown from Lake Biwa (central Honshu) intercepting US bombers in late 1944
*Texture files reduced, number of LOD's rationalised to improve frame rates and a gear move sound included

'Mogami' Tender:

*Ship moves up and down and side to side to simulate a light sea state
*'Mogami' now has two launching / retrieving cranes and these automatically move up / down
*New superstructure, damage model and 'skin' added

Support Structures:

*Seaplane landing zone now extends over 80% of water in terrains allowing for the practical use of this seaplane
*Seaplane base constructed to allow seaplanes to operate quickly from land into water
*New plyon.sm file included for seaplane races

Nations Version 2.0 is required and the pacific terrain is optional (but desirable). Please read the 'Readme' and 'Seaplane_Ops' files. Download (1565k) includes fifteen training missions (three night) and is 1.5.2.9 compatible;
