Yes the N1K2-J and all other variants of N1K Shinden Series had the automatic butterfly flaps.

source: Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War, by Rene Francillon, ISBN #: 0-87021-313-X

Best Japanese Aircraft Book I have seen yet, pick it up, well worth it.

Yes.Shiden-Kai(N1K1) had a auto-aircombat-flaps!

Japanease pilots hoped that Shiden-Kai had
a good rotating movement like Zero.

So I hope that designers of Hitech model
this factor.This is a character of N1K1

Thanks and sorry for my poor English

I'd rather have that auto-CANNON thingie that they had in the old MiG-29 add-on to Falcon 3.    Just put your lead-computing gunsight (we're getting that too, right?) in the right spot...boom boom BOOM.  Dead bogie.

What do you want to bet that the real Shiden-Kai jocks turned that auto-flap thing off and worked em manually?

 this sounds like the forward slats thread for the 109s... thing is if they was in there it would be compiled with the test data at hand and added in as a handling characteristic. after all if they was *auto* (not saying they wasnt, just I dont know) then they was testing and getting figures with them working..... only thing could be done would be visual and audio, cause FM is already handled.

Hello.I mistaked a name of N1K1.
N1K1 is "Shiden type11"
  Engine:Nakajima Homare type21 1800hp-1900hp
  Speed:583km/h
  Full Length:8.855m
  Full Width:12.0m
N1K2 is "Shiden-Kai" or "Shiden type21"
  Engine:Nakajima Homare type21 1800hp-1900hp
  Speed:596km/h
  Full Length:9.364m
  Full Width:11.99m

A design of body is difference.
Shiden means a purple lightning.
And Kai means improved.
So Shiden-Kai means improved "Shiden".

Probably a designer of HiTech call
Shiden-Kai N1K1.

thanks.
