Dora D-9

Nice work! I am completely unfamiliar with this bird. Can you tell me more about the "Dora"? I see there's a sound folder in MAW that has Dora engine sounds.
 
Nice!
If I may, I would suggest to check the canopy, there shouldn't be any screws or so.
The canopies where no different from the Fw190A. Early D-9 having the standard canopy, later models having the bulged one like many late A-8, F-8 and A-9.
The canopies on the surviving museum Doras are all not overly accurate replicas.
 
thanks Mathias!
I've looked at pics of your 190's so many times drooling over the work you did and have been trying to do something as good and I think this is the best I can do.
that sucks about bolts in the canopy...
I spent a lot of time doing the textures on them.
maybe it was the TA-152 that had them.
I know it was a pressurized pit on that.

Vogelscheuche,
it was an upgrade to the 190A's as far as I know for high altitude bomber interception.
did about the same roll but less ground attack.
it replaced the BMW radial with a liquid cooled Jumo.
it could carry a droptank, and upto a 500kg bomb I do believe.
it was armed with two 13mm mg 131's in the cowl and two 20mm mg151's in the wing root.
I will include my sound file when it's uploaded, if I can find the right wav. files to do so.

Thank You..
I can't wait to wreck this one..
Hey, does it Bounce well??
:salute::salute::salute:
 
thanks everyone,
I would like to get a bit more done before release, even as a beta.
maybe by Friday it can be good enough for that.
 
Here's a shot of the D-9 cockpit here at the Air Force Museum, but it only shows the fixed framing, and not what's on the sliding canopy.

it does need a MOS. Nigel, you interested?
for some reason, my MOS editor doesn't work anymore..
thanks Major, I think that's about the only pic of the cockpit I can find too.
 
Glad to be of help! Stick it in the mail and I'll find a break from marking exam papers!
 
Here are two pictures of acual FW190's cockpit frames first one is from White 1 and the second is, I think, Flug werks Dora.

If you need and other I have quite a few of the FW

That part of the frame is hidden in the seam when the canopy is closed. What we're missing is a picture of the mating frame around the opening of the sliding part of the canopy.
 
I think the bolts were used on the pressurized pit in the TA.
with the addition of the extra glass, air gap between, I think that's where I've seen the bolts.
hard to say, I've used other peoples work as references to what I can't find real pix of.
IL2 has been one that I used but I don't think it's 100% authentic.
