FS2004 Screenshots Here!!!

That is completely new for me :biggrin-new:. As this aircraft made me curious, I did check how many aircraft belonged to the "Regierungsstaffel" (Governmental flight) and was really amazed.

Next to a number of machines for general use, there were several in the top of the NSDAP who had more than one machine.

After the start of the war most of them were transferred to the Luftwaffe, however some of them remained in use by this governmental flight until 1945. In fact most Ju-52 aircraft were replaced by FW-200 aircraft from 1939 onwards.

Interesting read, but you wonder whether somebody Hitler's age would survive such an escape.

i'm sure if it had been the last resort it would have been used; on the Ju52 the seat went out via the disused bomb bay doors one would surmise, the Ju52 having 2 bomb bays in fuselage.

from wiki
In a military context, the Ju 52 could carry up to 18 fully-equipped soldiers, or 12 stretchers when used as an air ambulance. Transported material was loaded and unloaded through side doors by means of a ramp. Air-dropped supplies were jettisoned through two double chutes; supply containers were dropped by parachute through the bomb-bay doors, and paratroopers jumped through the side doors. Sd.Kfz. 2 Kettenkrafträder (half-track motorcycles) and supply canisters for parachute troops were secured under the fuselage at the bomb bay exits and were dropped with four parachutes. A tow coupling was built into the tail-skid for use in towing freight gliders. The Ju 52 could tow up to two DFS 230 gliders

Hi Pete,
Great atmospheric pics...

Made me smile the WED Ju52 ref, that opening sequence and building music is just fantastic, I remember seeing that at the cinema as a young kid when it was released!

And love that GC 110 pic, Mathias and the team did a superb job, and it still stands up today. Mind you a lot of German folk have forgotten to put their blackouts up! ;)

Cheers

How very timely for me! My current read is the memoirs of Wilhelm Johnen, who began his night fighting career flying radarless, black, Me.110Cs with NJG1.

It is nice to hear you appreciate the very nice screenshots posted by Pete. However I hope you noticed the gentle hint on Pete's post as well. The GC Bf110 D/E model has a beautiful external model, with silk textures by Alessandro Biagi, however the cockpit isn't much more than an empty box (which could use some magic).

Cheers,
Huub

And repaint won't be a problem as I already have a paintkit ready.......

The man had an interesting career, with an unplanned landing in Switzerland as highlight.

The Bf110 G4 (Werknummer 740 055) flown by Johnen on April 28 1944, which he landed at Zürich-Dubendorf Switzerland, after being hit by return fire from the Halifax III ND759 R-Robert from No. 35 Squadron RAF flown by Warrant Officer Bob Peter (RAAF)

1935 in pictures.

In another thread I said something about the the position of the French technics in the 30-ties. Here the pictures to go with this story.

France with the Dewoitine D.500

The United States with the Boeing P-26 Peashooter

And the Netherlands with the Fokker D.XVII

And without doubt the one most ahead of its time the Il-16 from Russia

And for Japan? Well the Mitsubishi A5M Claude had not even arrived in 1935...........

When you compare speed and armament you will understand why I think France was quite ahead of the rest at that moment.......
