Looks very nice Allen, good work there!
haha yes, I too noticed that. On purpose obviously
does the a2a me 262 from their power pack work in fs2004?
you'll need to remove any CFS2 .dp (damage profile) files and add the UI section in aircraft.cfg file; may also need to adjust the min throttle setting in .cfg file too

Most probably the best Me262 models are the payware ones by Flight Replicas. The model is not available at the Flight Replicas site anymore, but there are still some re-sellers who offer these models.
My favourite repaint, for the reconnaissance version by TonyG
There are also some freeware models, but it seems most of these are based at the old CFS2 model from VB_planes model by Graham.
A coversion to FS2004 by Warrant
A "Pulkzerstörer" with 50 mm Cannon by A.F. Scrub
A "normal" Ms262 A-1 by the same author

There are several versions of the same nightfighter, based on the VB_planes model. There is one by Erwin "Bavarian" Welker and a very similar one by Warrant.
This is the version by Warrant with a livery done by me, which was never uploaded.
And there is original model done by Pierre Marchadier, Gilles Mercier, Jean-Pierre Langer and Benoit Dube
Morten did a huge texture package for this model. Perhaps not the best model, but easy on the framerates, which is why I use it as AI.
And there are several sweptback wing versions by various authors. Perhaps the best know one is done by Ito-San, but there are several others.
All freeware models are quite basic and definitely show their age. Perhaps a certain person from the south of the UK can bring change this. Or just spend roughly $20 and purchace the Flight Replicas one, which I can recommend.
Cheers,
Huub

Ha ha ha..don't you know it Huub!
Alex, I appreciate what you ask, and yes there are several projects of 262's, somewhere in the project dungeons.
As Huub's shown, there are some ok versions to use, but by far the best looking and most accurate are the 262A and B by Mike Flahault/Flight Replicas. Back in 2008, I helped Mike with a lot of detailed photos of the South African Me262B night fighter, so know that the B model is very accurate. The problem is finding both versions for Fs2004!
Cheers

I agree, the flight replicas model is the most accurate currently, but that should stop others from creating a more detailed version. Allen has been doing a good job on his me262 and we should encourage him to continue it.
and shessi your models have always been top notch with great detail. A modern replica would be nice to have, with detailing on the engines, updated modern antennas, revised cockpit

Alex I understand what you are saying, but I wonder whether it is really worth the effort, as the modern Flugwerks Me262 replica was designed to be as close to the original as possible.
To see how close, here a nice video, which will also bring us closer to the original subject of the thread......

FHC is trying to get the 262 flying with the original 004s. Kind of. While the architecture of the engine is identical to the original (they are using the original engine casings) all of the internals have been remade to original specs but with modern materials. (Thank you Paul Allen.) I also believe they plan on using all original style fuel controls and not doing something like popping in a FADEC system to run the engine. So, it will still behave and sound just like it did back in the 40's, but have vastly improved reliability and time between overhauls. The replicas use J-85 engines with a bit of trickery to disguise them at the front. (The spike used for regulating the area of the tailpipe of the original is notably absent though.) Replica or real, I'd still be happy to see either in the air! Collings Foundation has one but I don't know how often they fly it.
