Focke Wulf Fw 190D-9 early canopy by Design Team Daedalus Unit: Stab I./JG 2 Bodenplatte operation, Dorff, Germany January 1, 1945 Pilot: Fw. Werner Hohenburg The Fw 190D-9 combined the Fw 190A-8 fuselage and wings with the Jumo 213A-1 engine to create a higher altitude capable fighter than the A-8. The first production aircraft were completed at Focke-Wulf’s factory at Sorau in Silesia in late August 1944. Problems with engine meant that the second aircraft wasn’t completed until mid-September, but construction soon sped up. By the end of September production was underway at Focke-Wulf’s factory at Cottbus, and in October work began at Roland (WFG) at Nordenahm and Fieseler at Kassel. Junkers and Siebel produced parts, and Arado was also involved in the program. The total number produced is unclear, with at least 670 known and no records for December 1944 or February 1945 to the end of the war. 1,500 serial numbers are known to have been allocated to the D-9, but that doesn’t mean that all of these aircraft were completed. The standard D-9 was armed with two 13mm MG 131 machine guns above the engine and two 20mm MG 151 cannon in the wing roots. It could also carry an ETC 501 or ETC 504 stores carriers below the fuselage. The first D-9 unit, III./JG 54, began to convert to the type in September 1944, and by the end of October had 68 aircraft, of which only one had the MW 50 installed. However 53 had been given a new Junkers kit that increased the manifold pressure in the engine and boosted power from 1,750hp to around 1,870hp. By the end of December 1944 there were 183 D-9s in service with three units (III./JG 54, II./JG 26 and III./JG 26), with some equipped with both the MW 50 and Junkers kits, some with one or the other and some without either. However new aircraft coming off the production line mainly had both. Early in 1945 the D-9 was issued to JG 2, JG 3, JG 6, JG 51 and JG 301, although these units normally operated a mix of types. In service the D-9 was considered to be as good as its main opponents, in particular the Merlin powered P-51 Mustangs and the Griffon powered Spitfire Mk.XIV. It handled better than the Fw 190A, was faster and climbed quicker. It could out-turn most Soviet fighters at the normal combat levels, and was quicker in the dive than the Yak-3 or Yak-9. It was a very good fighter for that time but was too little too late to have any effect on the course of the war. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Captain Kurt developed the model from the old Pstrany Dora model - with permission - as a starting framework and updated the shape, and added multiple details, new parts, new VC, and animations. The original Pstrany airfiles, and Dora weapons models for the drop tanks, weapons, and racks are still used as is the Jumo sound package (included) Model revision 3 fixes an animation error and several minor model improvements Captain Kurt also created the camouflage paint, and the 2D instrument panel.

(TEXTURES ONLY) (ONLY TESTED IN FSX: STEAM EDITION) This was requested by Carl Lyndon Nepomuceno on Facebook. If there is a tutorial online on how to make bare metal textures, I would totally make it by hand. Unfortunately there are none, and I mean like nothing at all. There was no complete tutorial or video on how to make that said texture, so I used AI to create one. I still have to sort a lot of things out like removing some of the belly and the back. There are also limited sources, both for references and decals. I made the "NORTHWEST ORIENT CARGO" Text using a Helvetica font from Fontsgeek, made my own letter "S" and used it for my livery. I had a previous version where I just used the text from a high quality Flickr photo, removed the background and added color. The references are limited for the "NORTHWEST CARGO" Livery specifically, as it seems like there are only 2 available photos of N618US with that exact livery. One in Facebook and another from Flickr (if I can remember). I also am not sure if the "CARGO" Text is a very dark shade of blue, or just black. If someone could verify that it is black, feel free to contact me so I can change it! After this, I'll make the N800FT and N801FT liveries, but I would still have to make the JA822J 787-8 "Old Livery" of JAL. The Livery 2 is the livery in 1977 while Livery 1 is 1979, so I may have accidentally switched it! But it is too late now... Instructions and more information are included in the readme file.

Here's my latest project after a long development period, packed with details for FSX. (Please test the P3D version yourself.) OERK - Riyadh - Saudi Arabia... Fly to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, take a look around, or use the airport as a stopover on your way to Asia... Then take a helicopter or a small plane and enjoy the many details in Riyadh and the surrounding area... Downloads will be available soon on Simvation.com, Avsim, or Flightsim. Have fun! - Jamaica's FSX Channel... And of course, it's freeware, like all my airports...

MSN 1021 was built in 1937 as a Miles Magister 1 for the Royal Air Force, being allocated the serial N3988. It was civilianised in 1948, becoming a M14A Hawk Trainer 3, and was registered as G-AKUA to Fairey Aviation. Sold on in 1953, it had two further owners before being destroyed in a fatal crash at Burnaston Airport in July 1957. Painted on to Edward Cook’s excellent Miles Magister model adapted for FSX, I have shown G-AKUA as it was in service with Fairey Aviation.

Some panel/cockpit updates for Kazunori Ito's F-86D Sabre Dog interceptor. New gauge pack and re-texturing to give the cockpit a cleaner, smoother appearance. Also comes with an updated cfg with lighting fixes and updated afterburner effect. You will need to download and install the F-86D pack uploaded by LLS first. Detailed description and instructions can be found in the readme file. Enjoy, -Bob
