Runs flat out 35 on my very vulnerable system (fixed 35 FPS Nvidia GTX470) on par with best payware Carenado
challenge is more flying it-its really fast

Hello Mathias,
Any news? I think many of us are eagerly looking forward to the Dora's and Ta's. The Classics Hangar website has been really silent on this for a while...

Well, the "feel" of an aircraft comes from accurately calculated moments of inertia from what I've been told but I'll leave that debatte to the more competent experts.
I'm sure Greg Pierson of Avhistory will pop in and and comment on the aerofiles when time has come.
Nahhhhh.. its not just the inertia.. The entire plane is a ballet of different shapes sizes and weights that all work together. Perhaps i'm just an old romantic, but i see it that way. When all the parts are in balance the plane will dance through the air just like its real counterpart did. if they arent in balance, it wont..
my hats off too you for a great looking aircraft

Hey Stickshaker,
I'm of course not Mathias spokesman, but as I don't know whether he sees this I will tell you what I know.
Last week I have been in contact with Mathias. Some positive events in his real life has kept him away from this project. Recently his PC has broken down (which is of course not so positive), but after his PC has been repaired he hopes to return (and finish) this project.
Cheers,
Huub

Thanks, Huub! I am glad that the 'events' are positive and that the project is still on.

Tell us more, tell us more! Any features that are novel or display specific characteristics of the aircraft?

I'm not a warbird flier - but that TA-152 is very tempting.

In fact there are quite some differences between the Anton and Dora models (and the Ta-152) The BMW engine on the Anton models is quite vulnerable, while the Jumo engine in the Dora is nearly indestructible.
As the Dora was developed later than the Anton, different technical solutions are chosen at some points, but shortage on materials and skilled labour men also forced the Germans to introduce less sophisticated solutions.
Al this comes very much alive in the models by Mathias. The silk (external) textures by Alessandro Biaggi give the models an extra dimension.

Glad that I can count on my mates while I'm out of the house!
Thanks for filling the gaps, Huub! :salute:
Little update, a view of the 2d radiostack popup.
We very loosely adopted the look of a German FuG16 and ported it over into current day Nav/Com functionality.
I think this one has a very intuitive interface and will be very straight forward to use

I really appreciate 2d radio panel, it is usually much easier to operate radios on 2d panel than in VC, where sometimes, depending on the radio location and type, you practically have to pause the whole sim while fiddling with the frequencies.
Hi Mathias,
This is looking awesome, I can't wait!
After watching the Battle of Britain, I've had an urge to fly DLW aircraft in general - of course, sadly I've found there are far fewer DLW aircraft than western allies aircraft (And Soviet aircraft even less than DLW..), so this will no doubt be a valuable addition to the "fleet"!
As an aside, do you plan to put the new 2D radio stack into the FW190A series as an update, it looks like it could be a really useful addition to have.
Regards,
Craig.

No such thing as too many German a/c. I think what everyone is trying to say is that we will buy anything you make. The quality of your work does justice to these marvels of German engineering and your dedication to your customers is unsurpassed. I reckon that means you have a 'cult' following here.:ernae::salute:
