Junkers JU46

Excellent work. I was amazed when I loaded the W-34fi / K-43 and the Ju-46 into the flightsim. The levels of detail and animations make it all seem real. Even the sounds are top notch

I look forward to seeing any and all of your future work. Excellent quality.

And freeware :woot::ernae:

Thank-You
 
Thank you all,

I'm happy that you like my works!:wiggle:

By the way: I made a real mistake. I forgot the name of the designer of the soundset. I should include his name in the disclaimer, and I have to thank him. But I cannot remember his name. I found the link for the soundset here in the forum (it was something like Bristol Mercury), but I can't find it now. Can anybody help?

And about the future: I think this was my last work. I decided to stop all my designing activities by different reasons. I will publish some of my non-finished works, like the Ju-160 and the Yak-50 during the next days, and that's all. In Germany we call it "Schlussverkauf". :amen:
 
My last download & flight was the W34hi. I'll say again as you deserve for all your nice work. Excellent......simply (no pun intended) excellent quality of craftsmanship. A heartfelt thank you goes to you for sharing these.:wavey:

I'm sorry to hear you say this is the last of your projects. For whatever reasons, I wish you and yours well :welcome:

Thank You Sir
 
Sorry to hear this is the end of your plane making Ralf but this is indeed a high note on which to retire! Excellent aircraft:engel016:

Ralf,
In our stateside English I guess that translates to a "going-out-of-business sale"? :d Whatever the reasons for stopping your designing, thanks for the excellent body of work that you have already given us.
 
Thanks very much Ralf for all you have given us. Best wishes with your future endeavours ...

Cheers! Mike :ernae:
 
Hi Ralf Kreibich!

TANKS for Your very nice Junkers W.34/Ki.43 series. Spec. the swedish markings.

I think the early Junkers aircrafts whas built at "AB Flygindustri-Limhamn" near the town Malmö in Sweden They has manny exports with the type Ki.43 (Kreigs) series to China & Bolivia ,per example.

After WWI, the Germany whas not alowed to make any aircraft (military type). So they have to make clanderstine factory in different country outside Germany.

Best Regard

Nice plane Ralf. This one has been missing from my "Finnish war time airplane collection" since now. However there is still some differences from the real ones.

One can be seen here:

As you can see the cockpit of that Finnish version is open and the gunner is situated right behind the cockpit. Also there isn't any fuselage windows but in the doors and there is some other minor differences.

Perhaps that Finnish model is some earlier model of K43? I don't know. Don't mind the skies. Finns did put on skies anything that moves. Notice some extra pairs on the roof. :d

In my opinion the type history of the W-34 is very complicated.
I think "my" K-43 and the aircraft shown on the picture are different types. Also the designation W-34 includes different types. The -34 was built during a long period, and a lot of changes were made. The first aircrafts used a fuselage very similar to the W-33 and had always a open cockpit. Later the construction of the fuselage, the cockpit and also the wing was changed. For an exemple, the W-34fi has a lower fuselage than the W-34hi. The canopy design was also changed. But I saw also pictures of a hi with a fi cockpit, for an example the Canadian Airways looks like such an type mismatch. It might by that Junkers built special "compositions" for different customers. I think we will see much more different variants for the future, and I'm afraid we have to design a individual model for every picture...

So I think the designation K-43 includes all military variants of the W-34 series.
I used for my models some pictures I found in the world wide web, but sometime it was difficult for me to see the differences. I also tried to simplify my models, so I used the same fuselage for the fi and the hi, and that's definitely wrong. I don't have any idea about the cockpit layout of the K-43's and the Ju-46 also, and so I used a layout very similar to the hi. But I'm afraid that the cockpits are also very different.
Building such an airplane like shown on the picture would made it necessary to change to construction of the fuselage and the canopy. It's not so difficult, but it would take some time. Because I stopped my design works for MSFS I will not this. But you (or any other person) are welcome to make such a variant, in this case I'll send you the g-max source-files.

Regards
Ralf

You're absolutly right. A lot of W-34 and K-43 were built in Sweden. The history of German aeronautical industries between the wars is very interesting. After WW I building of aircraft in Germany was absolutly prohibited for a while, except a very short period directly after the war. In this short period some interesting constructions were built, for an exemple a 4-engine airliner. But the allies claimed the destruction or the release of all German aircraft. Later the building of all aircraft was absolutly prohibited, but in the beginning of the 20ies the allies allowed the production of civil aircraft. Building military aircraft was strictly prohibited, and the construction of civil aircraft as limited. Limited was the power of the engines, the speed and the ceiling. Of course German constructors looked for a bypass, and they find some different solutions. One solution was the dual-purpose aircraft. Official those aircraft were designated as civil aircraft, but the second purpose was the use as military aircraft. For exemple, most of Heinkel seaplanes of this time were designated as "Fisheries Protection aircraft", but they where military naval airplanes in real. Also such types like the Do-17, He-70, He-111 and Ju-160 were mail planes official, but in fact they were military airplanes. Of course the allies knew about this but closed both eyes.
The second solution was the foundation of factories abroad. Dornier produced in Italy and Switzerland, Rohrbach in Denmark, Junkers in Sweden and Russia. Sweden and Russia were also interesting for testing. In Lipezk was a German-Russian test center founded, and the Reichswehr /German Army) tested different bombs and bomb sights in Sweden. Official the export of military aircraft was impossible, and so the military Junkers were built in Sweden, or German built Junkers were equiped with military equipment in Sweden.
The relation of Junkers and China is an other interesting story. Junkers delivered aircraft to all Chinese parties, to the central government, to Manchuko and to different warlords. In China the production of Junkers aircraft was also planed, Junkers and the central government agreed to built an aeronautical factory in China and to produce there the Ju-160, but it never happened.
The story of the Eurasia is also interesting. This airline was founded by the Lufthansa and they used only Junkers aircraft. They established connections between different Chinese cities and they tried to establish a connection between Europe and China.
 
Sorry to hear that you will be retiring from Fs design Ralf, but thank you for all that you have created in the past! :ernae:

Will be looking forward to your Ju-160, finished or not as I really like this sleek design: http://www.aviastar.org/air/germany/ju-160.php

Hope you will stop by this place in the future for a chat!
 
Somebody asked me about catapult starts.
I made a small scenery including SS „Europa“ with a working catapult. It’s a very simple scenery, but it might bei interesting for somebody.
You can download this scenery here:
http://www.derbruchpilot.net/downloads/SS Europa.zip
Download the files and install to yor addon scenery foder.
The airport code is EURO. It’s only a start catapult, landing on deck might be difficult. :hand:


You need also a package including dsd_catapult Gauges, for example „Carrier Operation Package V2.0“

Please download such a package and search for the file „dsd_catapult.gau“. Put it to your Gauges folder.
Then please open the panel.cfg and change the following line:
[FONT=&quot]gauge20=W34!Zettel, 0, 770, 512, 256 [/FONT]
​
to
[FONT=&quot]gauge20=dsd_catapult!catapult, 0, 700, 512, 256 ,090066 [/FONT]
​
It will work only with the D-UBUS because gauge 20 is missing on D-2244 and D-OBRA
You can also try to include the gauge in a 2D-cockpit.
It should work, but there's a problem: you'll never reach the continent:wavey:
