CFS Macro - Half-track Hino Type 1 "Ho-Ha" upgrade.
CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle.

Upgrade of Ho-Ha API macro, now with transparent textures on track's sides. This file replace my previous Ho-Ha api macro.

The Ho-Ha half track APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) and Type 1 Ho-Ki full tracked APC, were developed as the result of a request from the Imperial Army for a heavy armored artillery tractor which could also serve as a personnel transport.
Production of both, tracked Ho-Ki and half-track Ho-Ha APCs began in 1941, and both versions were confusingly designated “Type 1". Both versions were built by Hino Motors Company.

I have created this api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2.2.85 (© Matthias Brückner), to generate the static Ho-Ha APC, with use of BMP transparent textures, oriented to CFS scenery designers and that they work with Airport 2.0 or later.

This macro was tested only in CFS1 sceneries, but I believe that can work without problems in CFS2-3 and FS2000-2002.

All mine API macros, could be included on objects libraries with crash detection (for CFS missions), but must be distributed with the original API-MACRO copyright.
