The long wait is almost at an end. Team Daedalus is nearing the first release of a brand new, super detailed Bf109G-6 model for CFS2.

We would also like to welcome our new SCASM development member, mav, to the team.


No other aircraft epitomized the rise and fall of the German Luftwaffe in WWII more than the Messerschmitt Bf109. It was continuously developed as the war went on and was produced in a progression of types. Besides its primary role as a fighter, the 109 was also used as a fighter bomber, reconnaissance, night fighter, and a trainer. From 1943 through the end in 1945, the Bf109G versions were the backbone of the Jagdwaffe in the skies of East, West and Mediterranean Fronts.


The first release will be the Bf109G-6. Because the G-6 was manufactured in 3 widely separated factories and bombing disruption difficulties in the supply chain, different armament, and theater equipment, there were many different variations of the basic G-6. There was no one standard version.
As they are completed, there will be a number of individual models, no two exactly alike. So watch for the upcoming announcements. There just might be later versions of the Bf109G as well.

Cockpit details of the new Bf109G-6 - pics

Detailed model cockpit

attachment.php


Historically correct 2D panel. Alternate Win7/10 version included. The eye viewpoint is positioned so that the offset Revi 16B gun sight works with the CFS2 aiming reticle (mav's idea). The VC closely mimics the 2D panel. The Revi 16b gun sight is animated so it is in the stowed position for landing and take off, and in ready position in flight. Note the CFS2 reticle sight is replaced with the correct Revi reflector sight once it is in the ready and locked position.
