Flight Replicas Messerschmitt Bf-109K-4 Released (Payware)

Thank you for that Mike! A ton of great quotes! I also enjoy reading about an aircraft from all different perspectives.

I'm sorry to continue to pollute this thread with posts of mine, but here are some videos of Bf-109's in action (in this case, all G-models) that I have always enjoyed viewing.

In this video, the well-known Bf-109G-2 "Black 6" was painted in temporary markings for a film. The pilot flying Bf-109G-10 "Black 2" is Mark Hanna, and I believe the pilot flying "Black 6" was Charlie Brown (another must-know pilot if you are into warbirds).

Another clip from the same film as above. (Note, in real life, you can get some further assistance when having to turn tightly on the ground.) : )

Some footage of one of the three DB605 powered Bf-109G's flying in Germany, filmed at Hahnweide. I've always been amazed by the first landing in this film, seen about half-way through. Pilot is Walter Eichhorn, who is very likely the highest-time 109 pilot flying today - for instance, Mark Hanna mentions him in his pilot report from 1989/1990, when at the time he was already considered an expert 109 pilot.

Another video of the same aircraft and same pilot.

Bf-109G-4 "Red 7", another of the three DB605 powered examples flying in Germany, flown by Wilhelm Heinz at Oppenheim in 2005.

Bf-109G-10, "Black 2", the other example flying in Germany, is the closest of those flying today to the K-4, with the late canopy fitted and tall tail strut. The aircraft is being flown on this occasion by Walter Eichhorn.

"Black 6" and "Black 2" in the mid 90's. Note how much power is used while turning. A rather uniue moment at around 5:17, when "Black 6" taxies by the Mosqutio.

And this video is sort of a mix and match of different clips of 109's. What initiates as only the 0:06 mark, illustrates how much attention must be paid with these aircraft in flying them well, and it is a very experienced 109 pilot that had that happen to him during that display.

I checked those sounds in the Flight Replicas directory and none of them are working for me. My cockpit is completely silent.

Checked again today still have boxes with shooting as well.

I will download again and do an md5 check on both downloaded files and try a reinstall.

Thanks a lot for the reports John!
 
MD5 hash check confirms they are the same.

Reinstalled but no dice.

Testing other planes now.

EDIT - Nup they are all ok. Emailing Mike now.

Yes, try an un-install first, then a reinstall. There have been no other reports of this, so it's a bit of a puzzle. If still no luck, contact me at the support address as it's easier for me to respond.

Hi Mike. Great product. Love these old German aircraft.
I too have the black square boxes when firing the guns.
No sound issues however.
 
Thank you Barnes! It is great to see Mike's paintkit being put to such good use so soon.

I've had emails from the other two with the problem, and it's beginning to look like some kind of FSX bug, or something in the XML, or something similar. The fact that only a few have the problem (three that I'm aware of) is unusual. P38 has gunsmoke textures as black boxes one minute, the next they work fine and it's the shell casing that are black squares. For the other, it was only the machine guns casings as black squares, but when renaming the cannon case textures to the same name as the gun casing textures, it still didn't work. He also deleted the file all together and it stilled showed black squares for the machine gun casings. I've tried any number of other texture formats to see what that does, and the only ones that work are the ones in the package. Texture format as supplied in the 109 package is completely standard FSX.

Still looking into it. I'm going to go through the effects file. If worse comes to worse, I'll make a substitute effects file for those with the issue, that eliminates the shell casings, and see how that goes.

Hi Mike. Here are a couple of screenshots of what I have. Gun flashes, tracers, and smoke are ok. Only get the black squares when firing the cowl guns. No squares when firing the nose gun. This is no big concern to me. I prefer the flying rather than having working guns. Great work. Love it. Also, thanks for that web site on the 109.

If you happen to be one of the ones the black squares, please contact me at support@flight-replicas.com , you will be sent a new set of effect files that should cure the problem. These new effects have been incorporated into the 109K package, for all new purchasers, as of time of writing.

Thanks for your patience,

Mike
 
ok if I pull back the throttle and ease the nose up and at the point of stall with the stick all the way back I then put hard rudder on it doesn't spin at all .
(have to keep rudder on full)
also at speed when diving it is impossible to crash into the ground because it climbs mightily even with the stick all the way forward the whole time.

Anyone comment on these points?
 
i can certainly crash it at high speed!! Have you checked your trim settings etc?

I cant comment on spinning as i have no torgue set as i fly helicopters so much and its not realistic.

Meanwhile i have made some more progress on this repaint - an hour more and it should be ready.

Hey Barnes great repaint ! Thanks.

Maybe its my Saitek Multi-panel??? It can cause probs with the Aerosoft Catalina as well (have to upon start-up remember to put invisible flaps all the way up first).

Wait a sec......Yes that will be it I think ! I just remembered trim issue appears with Me108 from Classics hangars, I always adjust it before take-off (because of Saitek Multi-panel). This time with the 109 I just took off then climbed and dived without even looking at it even once. Thanks.

BTW the injection boost rocks !!! Chased a jumbo out of Kai-tak after diving and put boost on then it ran out after a short while. Loved that.
