README

FSX features for the pilotable japanese WWII Armed Merchant Cruiser Asaka Maru. The ship is a detailed CFS2-ai-ship from Usio No Ibuki. To get the FSX-converted version you have to download the beautiful scenery "truk_atoll_1945.zip" from Mark Schimmer and friends.
My AddOn provides a pilotable ship with bridge, sounds and special effects. Nine camera views let you explore the ship. You can insert rotatable guns and you can set a Nakajima Dave floatplane onto the catapult. A "flight", approaching the japanese Fleet at the Truk-Atoll with your vessel is included. Panel and configuration by Erwin Welker.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION:



1. Install my folder "Asaka Maru" with my panel, sound, aircraft.cfg and airfile first.


2. Copy and paste the Gauges and Effects into the mainfolder of FSX
.
3. Copy and paste the three flight-files whereever you have your other flights.
4. Download "truk_atoll_1945.zip". There are three ai-ships included. Copy and paste only the model and the textures from the ai-Asaka Maru into my folder "Asaka Maru"

!!!Do not copy the sim.cfg! It is only for ai-ship!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus:
I recommend you also my pilotable version of the IJN frigate Yaku (wwii-frigate.zip). This vessel fits perfectly to the Truk-scenery.
The version from the package has a british flag. Please use my texture from the file "textureupdate for IJN frigate". Copy, paste and overwrite the one texture to the downloadedd version.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Views and features: Toggle with S-key to aircraft-views, then toggle with A-key for other views.
When you read in the upper right corner "Bow gun_Shift 2", then do this and you have an internal view of a turret. You can rotate it with the numpad-keys or with the coolie hat of your joystick. Fire the gun using the key for strobe lights.
With the same method you can set the floatplane on top of the catapult. Sometimes a little correction of the elevation angle is required. Do this with the numpad keys 8 or 5.
Use the L-key to get all light effects, use the I-key for the other effects (Smoke system).
