Focke Wulf Fw 190D-9 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: II./JG2 Frankfurt May 1945 Pilot: unknown 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) Captain Kurt also created the camouflage paint, and the 2D instrument panel.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 5./JG26 Abbeville France 1940 Pilot: unknown The E-3 was replaced by the E-4 (with many airframes being upgraded to E-4 standards starting at the beginning of the Battle of Britain), which was different in some small details, most notably by using the modified 20 mm MG-FF/M wing cannon and having improved head armor for the pilot. With the MG FF/M, it was possible to fire a new and improved type of explosive shell, called Minengeschoß (or 'mine-shell'), which was made using drawn steel (the same way brass cartridges are made) instead of being cast as was the usual practice. This resulted in a shell with a thin but strong wall, which had a larger cavity in which to pack a much larger explosive charge than was otherwise possible. The new shell required modifications to the MG FF's mechanism due to the different recoil characteristics, hence the MG FF/M designation. The cockpit canopy was also revised to an easier-to-produce, "squared-off" design, which also helped improve the pilot's field of view. This canopy, which was also retrofitted to many E-1s and E-3s, was largely unchanged until the introduction of a welded, heavy-framed canopy on the G series in the autumn of 1942. The E-4 would be the basis for all further Bf 109E developments. Some E-4 and later models received a further improved 1,175 PS (1,159 hp, 864 kW) DB601N high-altitude engine; known as the E-4/N; owing to priority being given to equipping Bf 110s with this engine, one fighter gruppe was converted to this version, starting in July 1940.[21] The E-4 was also available as a fighter-bomber with equipment very similar to the previous E-1/B. It was known as E-4/B (DB 601Aa engine) and E-4/BN (DB 601N engine). A total of 561 of all E-4 versions were built,[13] including 496 E-4s built as such: 250 E-4, 211 E-4/B, 15 E-4/N and 20 E-4/BN. There were many small differences between individual E-4s because the E-4 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor, armored windscreen, tropical sand filters, E-7 type pointed spinners, etc. So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft was modified with a flat plate plus curved top pilot head armor and an armored glass windscreen. Pstrany is the primary model author with some small model refinement and additions by Captain Kurt as the model was collaborated on during development. Captain Kurt created the textures for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, air files and aircraft.cfg files.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 6./JG 53 1940, France Pilot: Oblt Heinz Bretnutz To improve the performance of the Bf 109E, the last two real prototypes (V16 and V17) were constructed. These received some structural improvements and more powerful armament. Both were the basis of the Bf 109 E-3 version. The E-3 was armed with the two MG 17s above the engine and one MG FF cannon in each wing. Some units began recieving the E-3 by September 1939. A total of 1,276 E-3 were built, including 83 E-3a export versions. There were many small differences between indivual E-3s because the E-3 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor,E-4 type squared canopies, E-7 type pointed spinners, etc. So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft had no pilot head armor but was fitted with a rear view mirror on top of the windscreen frame. Pstrany is the primary model author with some small model refinement and additions by Captain Kurt as the model was collaborated on during development. Captain Kurt created the textures for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, air files and aircraft.cfg files.

Messerschmitt Bf109F-2 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 1./JG3 Iyzk, Russia July, 1941 Pilot: Oblt. Robert Olejnik There is no "standard" Bf 109F-2, as the production run underwent many small modifications and there were field implemented updates along the way. So each model we have created has it's own unique features. Pstrany developed the models using Paul Rebuffat's Messerschmitt model - with permission - as a starting framework and updated the shape, and added a plethora of details, new parts, and ideas. Pstrany also developed the models for the drop tanks, weapons and racks. Captain Kurt created paints for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, the air files and the aircraft.cfg files. Mav SCASM edited each model so that they have animated wing slats, drop tanks, and other features, as well as optimizing models for the best possible framerates. Mav also developed the idea for the 2d panel to be offset for the Revi gunsight to match the CFS2 reticle. The engine sound package is by Lawdog2360

Messerschmitt Bf109G-8 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: Bf109G-8 NAG12 France, August 1944 Pilot: unknown The Bf 109G-8 was a dedicated reconnaissance version based on the fighter version of the Bf 109 G-6. Production of the Bf 109 G-8 tactical reconnaissance aircraft began in August 1943 and continued to February, 1945 with a total production of 906 aircraft built. The G-8 could be equipped with standard G-6 armament. But it is doubtful if any flew with the Motorkanone engine cannon - removed to save weight and increase speed - and only had the cowling machine guns installed. It was equipped with a total of three cameras. If we count the bulkheads of the fuselage from its front, two Rb 12.5/7x9 or Rb 32/7x9 cameras were installed between bulkheads 5 and 6 (Use the Tail Hook Command to open the camera doors.). The third camera was the Robot 11 type which was installed in place of the gun camera. There was no “standard” G-8. Three separate companies and multiple sub-assembly production facilities were involved and the production was interspersed with the G-6 fighters being constructed. All of which inevitably produced minor variations, such as canopies, pilot head armor type, etc. So, each model we have created has its own unique features to portray the specific aircraft as accurately as possible. This aircraft had an standard G-6 canopy with Galland type pilot head armor. Pstrany developed the models using Paul Rebuffat's Messerschmitt model - with permission - as a starting framework and updated the shape, and added a plethora of details, new parts, and ideas. Pstrany also developed the models for the drop tanks, weapons and racks. Captain Kurt created paints for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, the air files and the aircraft.cfg files. Mav SCASM edited each model so that they have animated wing slats, drop tanks, and other features, as well as optimizing models for the best possible frame rates. Mav also developed the idea for the 2d panel to be offset for the Revi gun sight to match the CFS2 reticle.

Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat VMF-112, Lt. Jefferson DeBlanc Guadalcanal January 1943 The Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific from 1941 to 1943. While the Wildcat was still outperformed by the faster, more maneuverable, and longer ranged Mitsubishi A6M Zero, the F4F's ruggedness combined with effective US pilot's tactics made it more successful in combat. The first operational version, the F4F-3 had a fixed wing which limited the number a fleet aircraft carrier could operate to 18. Grumman had proposed incorporating a folding wing to the Wildcat in 1940 and the Navy had awarded a contract for the F4F-4 in 1941. The folding wings would allow the fleet carriers to operate 27 Wildcats. The Battle of the Coral Sea had proved the need for more fighters for CAP and escort, and the Navy rushed to replace the fixed wing F4F-3 with the new F4F-4 before the next inevitable carrier battle which turned out to be Midway. Navy and Marine pilots weren't thrilled with the F4F-4 as it was heavier, less maneuverable, and had added 2 more machine guns which reduced the ammunition to each and reduced the firing time. But it was what they had. They made the most of it that they could, and held the line through 1943.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3/B by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 5./JG 77 May, 1941 Malaoi, Greece Pilot: Unknown To improve the performance of the Bf 109E, the last two real prototypes (V16 and V17) were constructed. These received some structural improvements and more powerful armament. Both were the basis of the Bf 109 E-3 version. The E-3 was armed with the two MG 17s above the engine and one MG FF cannon in each wing. Some units began recieving the E-3 by September 1939. A total of 1,276 E-3 were built, including 83 E-3a export versions. The E-3/B was a small batch of E-3s that became the first operational Bf 109 fighter bomber, or Jagdbomber (usually abbreviated to Jabo). These were fitted with an ETC 500 bomb rack, carrying one 250 kg (550 lb) bomb. There were many small differences between indivual E-3s because the E-3 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor,E-4 type squared canopies, E-7 type pointed spinners, etc. So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft was modified with flat plate pilot head armor.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-7 by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 3./JG1 De Kooy, Holland 1941 Pilot: Hans Schubert (rank unknown) Following the E-4, the E-7 was the next major production variant, entering service and seeing combat at the end of August 1940. One of the limitations of the earlier Bf 109Es was their short range of 660 km (410 mi) and limited endurance, as the design was originally conceived as a short-range interceptor. The E-7 rectified this problem as it was the first Bf 109 subtype to be able to carry a drop tank, usually the standardized Luftwaffe 300 L (79 US gal) capacity unit mounted on a centre-line rack under the fuselage, which increased its range to 1,325 km (820 mi). Fuel from the drop tank was pumped to the internal fuel tank via a large fuel line that ran up and along the inside starboard wall of the cockpit, with a clear sight glass located in the fuel line's main span so the pilot could easily see the flow of fuel and know when the tank was empty. Alternatively, a bomb could be fitted and the E-7 could be used as a Jabo fighter-bomber. Previous Emil subtypes were progressively retrofitted with the necessary fittings for carrying a drop tank from October 1940. Early E-7s were fitted with the 1,100 PS DB 601A or 1,175 PS DB 601Aa engine, while late-production ones received 1,175 PS DB 601N engines with improved altitude performance the latter was designated as E-7/N. A total of 438 E-7s of all variants were built. There were many small differences between individual E-7s because the E-7 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor, armored windscreen, tropical sand filters, etc. So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft was unmodified and had no pilot head armor. Pstrany is the primary model author with some small model refinement and additions by Captain Kurt as the model was collaborated on during development. Captain Kurt created the textures for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, air files and aircraft.cfg files.
