FSX desperatlly needs an Me109J, also known as a Hispano Buchon! After visiting the ARCo hangar at Duxford a couple of days ago, I have become desperate to fly one. There are two at Duxford, G-BWUE and G-AWUE, and in my humble opinion I think they are prettier than the original Bf109 G's from which they were first modellled.
 
You really like that?
I always thought it looks like a head-pregnant amphibian with that Rolls-Royce engine nacelle, totally out of proportion, and the German paint on it is pure folklore on those machines.
But then again I'm picky, and to each his own. :rolleyes:

I personally hate the Buchon, I just think its wrong!
 
:icon_lol: Nah!!! The Rolls-Royce does it proud.... I think that the Buchon is a very significant historic aircraft, particually through the parts it played in the battle of britain Movie. It is the reason why all but two surviving 109s were Hispano built, and I think it deserves some recognision!
Sure I can't tempt you....
Here our some photos I took of G-BWUE at North Weald a couple of weeks ago...

if it had spanish civil war markings would be better... but i dunno, it look's ok... kinda Bf-190 'Lite' :icon_lol:
 
The Griffin completely spoils the beautiful lines of the BF 109, it's horrid, give me a Daimler Benz powered version anyway! Griffins are for Spitfires only in my opinion!
 
its quite funny when you think about it, the early versions where powered by an Rolls-Royce engine (kestral/kestrel) till the DB engine was made available, then they finished with an RR engine in it .. guess the frame just couldnt quit haveing the engine it wanted but was denied all its operational life :icon_lol:
 
We can say yay and nay to this but it would be an extremely unique FSX model and one that i think a lot of folk would be downloading out of curiosity if nothing else. Piglet??? :D After the A-1E of course :) :) :)

a) FSX doesn't need anything desperately.

b) Why would anyone want to fly that butt-ugly abomination?!? The only place it belongs is the scrapyrad and not the sky.
I'd rather fly an Avia S-199 than this "thing".

c) If you want one -> GMax.
 
One of these things made a appearance at Aviation Nation at Nellis. I didn't even take it's picture it looked so bad. Sorry, wouldn't download it even it were available.

An FSX Buchón with a realistic handling would be a nightmare aircraft. The BF109F fuselage has an asymmetric fin to compensate for the Daimler Benz egine torque. However when Hispano Aviación produced the Buchón after WWII they could not get any Daimler Benz engines and had to use Merlins that rotate in the oposite direction so the asymmetric fin, rather than compensate for the engine's torque effect, actually made it much worse.

I have known pilots that flew it in the Spanish Airforce and they told me that it was thoroughly hated since take offs were a handful and many aircraft were written off in take off accidents.

In fact they told me that the torque was so bad that the standard technique was not to try to compensate the torque-induced yaw on take off but to allow the aircraft to take off in whichever direction the it wanted to take, what was possible because they were flying from grass fields
