FS2002/FS2004 features for the pilotable Japanese battleship Yamato (download from Usio no Ibuki required).
This is a very detailed CFS2 model (without VC) of the hugeest battleship ever. It is from Masazumi Kaneko from Usio no Ibuki.
My AddOn provides a pilotable ship with bridge, 9 deck views, sounds and special effects.
Bitmaps and configuration by Erwin Welker

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:


1. Install my folder "IJN Battleship Yamato" with my panel, sound, aircraft.cfg and airfile first.

2. Copy the Gauges and Effects into the mainfolder of FS2004/2002. I can't test my addon in FS2002 but normally all CFS2 stuff runs in FS2002 and also the gauges and effects should work.

3. Make a download from:

http://www.geocities.jp/usio_no_ibuki/index.htm

Choose - "Ships" - "Battleships" - "Yamato 1945" (Of course you can also use the older version but my deck views are matching only the 1945 version)

4. Copy from the zipfile !!only!! the Model and the Texture into the folder for the pilotable version, named "IJN Battleship Yamato"
!!!Do not copy the sim.cfg! It is only for ai-ship!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features:
Initiate the all of the effects with the L-key, fire the main guns by using the key for strobe lights, use Smoke system for distant explosions at 90, 180 and 270 deg.
The explosion at 12 o'clock is time delayed.

Views: Use the numpad keys. For some extra views please hit key5 first (shift funktion) and then other numbers regarding the desired direction. (5&2 = bow view)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
