FHC German Fighters

With thanks to Huub, we have some excellent repaints of the Flying Heritage Collection's original and flying Bf 109E and Fw 190A, for the A2A Bf 109E and the Classics Hangar Fw 190A. I had to put these two together flying in FSX, and I hope you like the screenshots! All of the screenshots are taken at or near the FHC home airport, Paine Field.



















 
Nice shots, I would love to see them (and hear them) once with my own eyes (and ears). The nice thing from modern technology is that I can see (and hear) them on You Tube. Not quite the same but a nice substitute. So thanks for the video.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Not a rivet counter by any means, but I just have to say;

That 190 has ben modeled with depressions in the metal...that is some cool attention to detail!

Nice screenies.

Just noticed that myself. I reckon I've been spending too much time it that gorgeous cockpit.:salute:
 
John, where in the world has that Everett scenery been hiding!!! I've been searching for ages! :) I attended the Paine field aviation day, and so had access to both the Flying Heritage Center (FHC) and Historic Flight Foundation (HFF) museums, including all teh various aircraft displays which were flown in. The both aircraft are incredible. The FW I *believe* is the only 190 in the world left to be flying with an original BMW engine. (although don't quote me on that! lol). Some other note worthy aircraft which call Paine field (KPAE) home are "Impatient Virgin" (@ HFF) a fully restored P-51B with a Malcolm Hood. It has over 700 combat hours, was an ace maker, including shooting down a least one FW-190. Also, "Bad Kitty" a Fully restored F7F Tiger Cat, very rare BTW. The F7F and the F8F both performed in the demos this passed Saturday. It was amazing to see just how fast and nimble that F8F is compared to the Tiger Cat. Both sport the same engine, but the Bear Cat is known for chalks out climb to 10K Ft in 96 seconds! Paine field is home to some incredible aircraft. Great shots of these!
 
Rick, the Paine Field scenery is default part of the ORBX Pacific Northwest scenery. Although far from perfect, it is a rather nice representation (it doesn't have anything where the Historic Flight Foundation facilities are located, just the ramp and taxiways, but there is a hangar located at the location of the FHC hangar which does, generically, look quite the part). It does have an aerial photo scenery as the base of the airport.

And you are absolutely right about FHC's Fw 190A-5. It is the only original Fw 190 airframe flying in the world today (and extremely original at that, with something like 90%+ of the original internal structure, and even 85%+ original skins (which is just crazy, that that much remained preserved well enough to be used in the restoration)), and is powered by a BMW 801 engine, as per original. At this time, there are a couple of other original Fw 190 airframes which are also being restored to airworthy to be powered by BMW 801's - probably most noteworthy, the example known as "White 1", which was obtained by the Collings Foundation last year and remains on track to completion and flying (will likely be the next one to join the ranks of the FHC example). All of the other full-size Fw 190's you see flying today are Flugwerk replicas, and aren't really all that close to the originals, being largely 'based on' the original design, and not entirely copied from the original design - for instance, those who have tried have found that the Flugwerk parts/assemblies don't match up with original Focke-Wulf parts/assemblies, and thus cannot help in getting an original airframe completed.
 
Sorry to drag up an old thread....

But are these textures still available anywhere, have searched the library and can't seem to find them.

I have built up quite a collection of the FHC warbirds and would love to add these to it

Thanks
 
The textures are still here.The FW190A-5 http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?linkid=3589&catid=3and the Bf109E3 http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?linkid=16265&catid=3Its nice to hear somebody is still interested in them.Cheers,Huub
Just a slight problem with the 109...I put the texture in as it says in the Readme....but when I actually fly it it just has the textures of the 'default' 109 (i.e....the first texture in the list)Any way to sort this?ThanksEDIT: Figured out how to sort it now...thanks for a great repaint! (and the Fw190 too)
