    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

I second that wish Cees, a Bf-109E would be fantastic. In fact the G and K models would do nicely.
 
Indeed !

The Emil is my favourite model and I still enjoy A2A´s version with FSX, but I´d also rather have something with a little more up to date touch. Maybe something like this (which is a blast, but a completely different story...)

But an even bigger wish for me would be a 109B (Berta). I always felt the later versions looked completely overdeveloped like on steroids:)

Early Bf-109s?! Real Messerschmitts have CURVES!


(And covers, but you get my point.)

Curvy Messerschmitts also have friends!

Even though I have a weak spot for the buchon (grew up with this "battle of britain" movie), the upright Merlin just wasn´t made for the wonderful outlines of the BF109. In this ccase I do still prefer the F series. No bulges, just plain elegant lines.

Another vote for a Buchon.

(Yes please Mike/FR!)

I've never understood the dislike, disgust, and general distaste shown by many for it. :running:

After all, it's only a 109G-2 airframe, built under licence to the requirements of the Spanish AF, and which happened to have been fitted with a different engine! :cool:

And great performance as well, with a reported 5,580 ft/min initial rate of climb at +18lbs boost, plus a top speed of around 420 mph at around 14000 ft.

(I'd love Mike to update his 109F/G models to FSX native too).

Cheers

Messerschmitt Bf-109D

Hallo Cees,

there was once a Bf-109D done by Corrado la Posta with a specific panel done by me.
I was done for CFS2 - but should also fly in FS9.
It is at flightsim.com - i4109d26.zip
It is old ! It is from 10-11-2001

Yours
Papi
 
Greetings-
I would have to agree that a 109B/C/D would be nice, or even a package that covered some of the prototypes and early marks...
To Bradburger's question about why all the hate for the Buchon... for me, it's pure aesthetics... that upright v12 nose on that airframe just isn't right somehow... for example, the transplanted Jumo engine on the Avia fighters doesn't look as out of place...
But, hey- the Buchon couldn't have been that bad... look at how long Spain kept them in service!
Saludos! - Mike Z.
 
Buchon

Hallo,
in french one say "colors and likings can not to be discused"
So the estethic of a buchon hmmm
Perhaps in flightsim it is not very much liked due to it's critical behavior as real bird.
Very much non sense was written on the 109, all based on the behavior of the Buchon, without respecting why things was as they was.
At first the spanish license builder of the 109 had to find a replacement for the original DB 605 engine.
This engine had clockwise rotation.
As replacement they tryed to fit the Hispano-Suizza engine,
this engine turen counter clockwise.
So the spanish changed the vertical tail and rudder profile to match the oposite rotation of the engine.
later they adopted the Merlin engine, this one turned as same as the DB605 clockwise
But they did not change the vertical tail rudder profile
So the airflow at the end of the plane was completly wrong.
You can imagine that in start or landing situation this causes some trouble.
This lead to make the reputation of the 109 much more bad as the original was.
The 109 was certainly not an easy bird, more as said Adolf Galland as a race horse which needed to be respected
