CFS Macro - "Ho-Ni" Self-Propelled Gun
CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle.

The Ho-Ni was an Japanese self-propelled gun of the Second World War. It was built by mounting the 75 mm Howitzer on the chassis of a Type 97 medium tank Chi-Ha.

The Imperial Japanese Army need to supplement their tank divisions with artillery led to a need for SPGs, subsequently, the Type 97's chassis were utilized by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to manufacture nearly a hundred self-propelled guns, consisting primarily of 75mm guns.

Crew: 5
Weight: 14,7 ton
Length: 5,52m
Width: 2,33
Height: 2,39m
Max. Speed: 38km/h
Engine: Diesel
Armament: 75 mm type 97 cannon
Armor: 50mm

I have created this api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2.2.85 (© Matthias Brückner), to generate the static Ho-Ni self-propelled gun, 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.
