<\/p>\nI just feel like flying for these past few days and weeks that I picked up IL-2 1946 Sturmovik. I obtained IL-2 from Steam for just $10 CAD (Canadian), and been wanting to play it for the past 2-3 years. I’m also pretty sure that the majority of people already have this within their possession. I’ve been holding off\u00c2\u00a0 on this because of Flight Sim X, Figma’s, Shinki’s, life, and because I couldn’t find the hard-copy. Also, this article isn’t purely aimed at the IL-2 1946 game, but the the J7W1 Shinden itself. I wanted to focus on the Shinden.<\/p>\n
I have to thank Kodama within the IL-2 modding community for this gorgeous plane!<\/p>\n

I just want to share my favorite plane that was made by a highly skilled Japanese person named Kodama (within the IL-2 community, not the one from figure.fm) because the quality of this plane is just awesome. It rarely finds its way into games and needs some form of spot-light in appearing in all Flight and WW2 related games.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s doing a bit better than the Avro Arrow when being featured in such games! If you want questions answered then poke Kodama in the links I’ll provide below, not me! If he doesn’t want me to have this article up then I’ll simply delete this ASAP.<\/p>\n I thought that disclaimer was necessary. Moving on!<\/p>\n ———–<\/p>\n Related Articles & Pages:<\/strong><\/p>\n – IL-2 1946:<\/strong> – Kodama’s blog (with J7W1 Shinden):<\/strong> – HSFX Mod – 4.0 (Need it to make Shinden playable):<\/strong> – Air.ini help thread <\/strong>(Or just go to main directory -> Files -> Com; more in link):<\/strong> – FSX – Shinden Ottawa Tour:<\/strong> ————<\/p>\n Why am I focusing on the Shinden so much? It’s a very beautiful looking plane, highly detailed, very powerful, quick, unique, and could of prevented nuclear attacks on Japan if made earlier…But that’s a “would of, should of, could of”\u00c2\u00a0 situation that should be left alone, unless I wanted to spawn trolling comments which I don’t want. This plane is also quite a beast, and makes for quite an enjoyable ride within the digital flight sim realm. When in the sky it just wants to fly; it revolts when you push it a bit too hard (both FSX and IL-2 version).<\/p>\n I’m probably giving it more credit than necessary just because it was a unique Japanese prototype.<\/p>\n Another reason why I like the Shinden is because nobody really wants to do a quality Avro Arrow add-on (freeware and payware) for either the FSX game nor any other Flight game. I’ve tried all kinds and they fail in one way or another. If there is a decent one out there, somewhere, then I want to know about it ASAP!<\/p>\n (Link – MySite<\/a>) – Flying towards the enemy!<\/em><\/p>\n (Link – MySite<\/a>) <\/em><\/p>\n (Link – MySite<\/a>) <\/em><\/p>\n (Link – MySite<\/a>) – As an interceptor, you’ll see it land back at base within 10-20 minutes. Longer if unlimited ammo is toggled on in real life, and in game). (Link – MySite<\/a>) – It lands well, parks well, and handles nicely on uneven terrain.<\/em><\/p>\n
