(Payware) A6M2 Zero

[TARPSBird]

I would also like to see a "Rufe" seaplane version of the A6M2.

Dang it Roger, this is all your fault! This is a fine addition to my IJN Air Fleet. This is such an interesting plane. A perfect example of “the right tool, at the right time, for the job.” The Me-109, for all its technological sophistication, would have been worth it's weight in cement blocks to the Japanese, who, in 1941, needed a long range fighter... Good stuff!

I downloaded the carrier packages and the Zero but AICarriers does not seem to work with a Java version higher than 6.17. I am reluctant to install an older Java version. Does anybody know whether there a solution for that? Or are there scheduled routes for these carriers? I could not find documentation about that in the carrier package.

There was an issue with Java that you may want to examine. This was from Avsim a few years ago:

"A windows system file (mysteriously modified, maybe by a windows auto-update) that can be found under C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc. it's the hosts file.
Open it with notepad and add the following line if not there:
127.0.0.1 localhost
after the following line.
:: 1 localhost
Save it to your desktop ( window won't allow you too save back in it original place. Then navigate back to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and override the existing file with the modified one from your desktop.
That's it fire up FSX and enjoy AICarriers2r2.
It solved my problem but some others may have another problem. Please note that AICarriers can't be fired up independantly from FSX. Its need to be fired up via the exe.xml file.
The root cause is that IPv6 is incompatible with AICarriers and it need the IPv4 loopback address.
Why is the hosts file modified? I don't know."

Thanks, Roger, going to give it a try.

Got it going. Thanks, Roger!

Great!
