The Focke-Wulf FW 190 A-5 with construction number (0150) 1227 was one of a series of 712 aircraft built between January 1943 and August 1943. The aircraft was manufactured in April 1943 at the Focke-Wulf factory in Mariënburg. (now Malbork Poland)
The aircraft was delivered in May 1943 and went to 4./JG54 which flew from Siverskaya near Leningrad (now Petersburg, where the aircraft was complete repainted in a typical Eastern front scheme. On Monday July 19th 1943, after a ground attack mission the engine failed. The pilot, Feldweber Paul Rätz performed a successful belly landing near Voibakala, where the aircraft remained until is was discovered in 1989 and recovered in 1991.
It has been restored in flying conditions and is now owned by the Flying Heritage Collection in the last scheme this aircraft had. But these textures represent the aircraft how it looked factory fresh, with and without theater markings, before it was repainted by JG54 (During the restoration, both schemes were found on the aircraft).
To use these textures you should have a legal version of the Classics Hangar FW190 A-5 installed in Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX). The Fw190 A-5 can both be found in the "Fw190A late variants" package and the "Fw190A compilation". The textures were done for the late variants version, this is why perhaps the included texture configuration file might direct to the wrong folder. In that case replace the texture configuration file with one of the files found in the original texture folders.
Enjoy.
