    Description: Mitsubishi C5M2 Babs Revision by UncleTgt


    This is a collection of revisions for C5M2 Babs by Shessi for CFS 2.


    A new airfile & aircraft.cfg to better approximate the published data for range & speed.


    A tweak to the panel.cfg that adjusts the forward view slightly.


    A tweaked model (using MDLmat) to try & lighten the cockpit glass (only partly successful).


    A new texture for an aircraft used by the Tainan ku during the early part of 1942.


    To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.


    Thanks to


    Metal Dreams for the original aircraft.
    Shessi for his undoubted skill in re-engineering older aircraft models to give them a new lease of life in the old sim.
    Martin Wright for so many really useful tools, in this case MDLmat.


    This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions

    Hi UncleTgt
    A great little repaint.
    Thanks for this one.
    And thanks to Shessi for the rework.
    Cheers

    A beautiful repaint, and the new files also make it fly nicely. I used it to check out some island scenery in the Solomons.
    Btw, UncleTgt, do you have any information where the Tainan Ku used these airplane? Probably in the New Guinea campaign?

    Tainan ku was deployed to Lae & Buna for the advance on Port Moresby, & they used the Babs for recon flights as far as Northern Australia. I know they lost at least one over Milne Bay (pacificwrecks).

    But, they were based for a time at Rabaul, & they used the Babs also as lead navigator for long range flights, so it's also possible they may have flown a few early recon flights down to Guadacanal.

    I also did a 3rd ku skin in my Babs skinpack when Shessi first released his overhaul, if you prefer a different look.
