AIRCRAFT INCLUDED:
North American P-51D "Mustang"

The North American P-51D Mustang has emerged as an icon, and is by far the most widely recognized piston fighter ever produced. The P51 allowed the United States to escort their bombers to Berlin and back. The p51 is a heavy, fast energy fighter and, in the right hands is lethal. It has a distinctive sound with its Merlin V-1650-7 engine with 1,720 horsepower.

Supermarine "Spitfire" Mk IB

The Spitfire stands to this day as one of the greatest piston fighters in aviation history. It is a light, maneuverable craft with low drag, elliptical wings, and a broad performance envelope. The result was the Spitfire, a capable, lethal, yet forgiving aircraft that proved more than equal to anything the Germans could throw at it.

Republic P-47D-20 "Thunderbolt"

Equipped with a large, powerful radial engine, the P47 looked as tough as it was. Known as the "Jug", this aircraft was a mainstay of the Allied fighter fleet and, with its eight .50 caliber guns, was capable of shredding ground targets and airborne opponents alike. While it could not turn with Axis fighters such as the Fw 190 and Me 109, it could outdive both of these and had a zoom-climb capability that was amazing.

Messerschmitt Bf "109" E4

The Bf109 was Germany's premier, front-line fighter at the beginning of the war and was still being produced at the end. Designed by Messerschmitt and Lusser, the Bf109 first flew in May 1935. It was a powerful aircraft - in November 1937 the Bf109 V13 raised the world airspeed record for land-based planes to over 370 mph.

Mitsubishi A6M5 "Zero"

The "Zero" was extremely light and maneuverable, and packed a considerable wallop for the time. It was a delight to fly, excelling at low and medium speed acrobatics. Because of its low wing loading, it could turn very tightly at low speeds without stalling, and had a turning radius of as little as 630 feet in the lower speed range.

I don't know about FSX, but for FS9 I use the Sky Unlimited Bf-109, and it's freeware so give it a look. Should be on the Flightsim.com website. I even put a couple pics of it up a couple weeks ago in my "Birds of Prey" thread in the Screenshots section.

[Alfashark]

The Sky Unlimited F model is pretty good for freeware, if you're after G's and K's (or for something oddball, an Avia S-99/S-199) then Flight Replica's payware models are very nice in FS9... In FSX they are bloody horrible!

WoP/A2A have two flavours for the 109 - the WWII Fighters pack mentioned above, or a standalone 109 with a bit more detail (the pack model is a very simple port over into FSX with a basic patch, the standalone had two separate patches to apply but is a much more detailed model)


As Mike said, very easy on the frame rates and plenty of repaints around

[Splitpin]

Good info , thanks Alpha, Ian, Naki, creator, Shadow......Ill let you know

There's also a JustFlight Battle of Britain 70th Anniversary pack (FSX) with an Me109 in it here and here. It's a re-package of their Me109E. No idea what it's like though.

[Ian Warren]

OK .. more off these built than any other fighter in the 21st Century , Emily is Battle of Britain , Fried,s/Gustav seem to shape the idea off the 109 the rest really is history , I choose the K model simple , looking for a sub variant off many , be so damn hard to pick and decipher models .
The one i was looking for was the late 'Mark Hanna' ride at the Wanaka Warbirds Show in 1996 , this is were i stood .. the direction to here the sound off the DB-601/3 .. it was so different , compared to the Merlin ... airy strange whistle .. it was amazing .
