Takka takka takka

If I'm not mistaken it is because she crashed...again. Rote Sieben is deffinietly most unlucky warbird of all times. Not fly since 2016 I guess
 
Just realized today that the pilot wearing glasses, flying the two-seat Buchon/Bf-109G-12 in the video posted by YoYo, is Mikael Carlson, one of my biggest aviation idols (great to see him flying WWII warbirds - of course he is most well known for performing in his incredibly authentic Fokker Dr.1 and Fokker D.VII reproductions and Bleriot types, though he has a lot of T-6 time as well, as I recall).

Some more videos of the Hangar10 Messerschmitts:

 
Small OT.
Nice and rare photo of Bf "Made in Germany, finished in England" :biggrin-new: :biggrin-new: :biggrin-new:

Hey team, any recent updates at all these aircraft? I for one am quite keen on a 109G, but a buchon would be simply amazing!
It’s an add-on that’s been missing for FSX for a long time and would go very nicely with some of the other ‘modern’ warbirds floating around these days.
Thanks all and greatly looking forward to this one- money waiting! Haha

Good timing with the question - the Bf-109G's were actually finished today. There's just a couple of specialty mods to make, such as a tropical version and one with the under-wing cannons, but those essentially just involve smaller parts and won't take long. As soon as those are done, work switches immediately to the Buchons - which likely means they'll be underway by the end of next week (if real life doesn't get in the way). As the Buchon exterior models are also finished, it will be a matter of doing the same modifications that the Spanish did to the cockpit.

Then, of course, there are things like paint schemes, manuals, paint kits, website, etc. to do. In the meantime, I'll put up some new Messerschmitt screenshots on the FaceBook page as soon as I can, hopefully this weekend.

Thanks most kindly for the update, highly appreciate it!
Sounds great- massively looking forward to both. Always been a big fan of your previous work, seeing your preview photos of these projects back last year has been key in rekindling my interest in FSX.
 
Managed to get the under wing cannon gondolas done, but ran short of time this weekend to do anything else. But as far as I can tell, there's only the headrest armour for the early G6 to do, which hopefully will be pretty quick!


Anyway, testing brought a couple of screenshots today that I thought I'd share. I know evening and night views are the most difficult to see clearly, depending on screen settings, etc., but here they are anyway, of Oblt. Manfred Dieterle's well known Bf-109G6/R6 night fighter. One evening view, one night view. Hopefully you can see everything in the moonlit night shot.

News? Some of the latest Buchon screenshots (cockpits in next post...). The Buchons were complete, modeling-wise, but then decided that the original Spanish version should be included, and so there'll be a bit more of a wait. But even that one is just about done. There are squared and original wingtip models of the present-day Buchons.

For the modern-day Buchons, there are also some external texture versions to do, but that won't take long. Then, of course, there's still the Manuals, checklists, paint kits, web site....

There are two VC, one for the present-day versions, and one representing the original versions.

Here's the modern cockpit, with everything turned on:

The original Buchon cockpit is still a WIP. There is still the radio/panel box to do under the main panel, plus a small auxiliary panel with an ILS-type nav gauge to add, plus some other small things. But here's how it looks today:

That's where things are. :)

Even more excited than ever for these, Mike! Inside and out, everything looks phenomenal. I love the two different cockpit options.
