1937 German long-range passenger transport built by Focke Wulf, the first inter-continental airliner of all time. It had elegant, graceful lines, and was powered by four 720 hp BMW 132G-1 radial engines, with a top speed of 197 kt (365 kph). It comfortably seated 26 passengers and a crew of 4.
The famous D-ACON "Brandenburg" established two long-range speed records in 1938: A return flight from Berlin Tempelhof to New York Floyd Bennet, averaging of 330 kph (205 mph), twice that of typical land planes of the time, and a three-stop flight from Berlin to Tokyo in 46 hours. 3 prototypes and 9 pre-production units were built. The outbreak of WW2 thwarted a very promising airliner career, and development continued with modifications for more powerful but heavier militarized "B" and "C" versions, of which another 264 units were built, filling more than one gap.
The Deutsche Technik Museum in Berlin is painstakingly restoring a Fw 200-C1 recovered recently from a Norwegian fjord into its original state, and work is planned to be completed in 2025. Includes custom panel with custom gauges, source AFX, PCX, R8 and SCX files, zero-weapon Dp files, and SCASM-added Virtual Cockpit.
Special features: New CFS1 two-pitch position Hamilton-type propellers, and multi-engine RPM and BOOST gauges, both programmed by Ivan of Sim Outhouse.
