J7W cool little plane

[Infidelz]

We could add all three: the J7W, the Curtis, and the DO335 to the former WWI arenas. All Post 1945 aircraft could go there, like the F8/F7 combo as well as the Mig 15/F-86. B29, not so much since it would use too many pixels for our computers. These changes would bring the usage up there so that the disk partition and text on our arena selection page wouldn't go to waste. The Crimson Sky arena would be a catchy name

post war area 1945-1950

Yep. Didnt go into Service.

And where, pray tell, would HTC get performance data for the J7W, Infidelz?

It had one test flight before the war ended and that test flight was the basic "do a circuit without raising the landing gear" first flight.

Karnak I didn't say I wanted it I just thought it was interesting also if search thought the website there is one operating in japan.

also one example was bought back to the states.

My response was to Infidelz, as is indicated by the last word of the first sentence.

I see

pusher canard nothing else I've seen is like it

Go to Oshkosh or LA and look up. They're everywhere.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_Long-EZ

Different, think I saw a German plane of similar design but it wasn't uncommon for Japan to buy blue-prints of various German aircraft. They only got around to the test flights in Aug 1945, definitely a bit late.

Yup, Germans had designed it.

So which plane are you speaking of?

The one that the guy that started the thread posted?  From what I was told it was designed by Germans.

Could not have been one with some actual knowledge about WWII birds

Let me quote for truth:

Contrary to the myth, the Japanese were fully capable of designing their own aircraft.  The J7W was entirely a Japanese design, but one that was too late to see service or combat.

I don't know HTC, he is a clever fellow you know. I would be happy to entertain suggestions, after all it would be the Crimson Sky arena. Anything would be possible there. Maybe X-Plane?

How would you model something that was never recorded before, like a P51D/P47/LA7/etc in a dive going 550mph? Do we have complete data on any of the aircraft or are we using some kind of basic or complex flight rules based upon the type of aerodynamics inherent with the surfaces in the game etc?? Is there is enough data to do all of the planes we have in the game for everything that they are put through? Perhaps they are approximate which is pretty close to what they where? Are the planes in here capable of every maneuver you can put one though? Seem to have read somewhere in here that ...

I don't know just saying ... how would you do it? What if you had to come up with an approximation for the J7W? Would you like to be in on the flight model design evaluation team?

let me say this there was 1 model sent to the USA and evaluated.
