What, you thought I would take a nap after the 109K-4? :)

We haven't told anyone, but over the past year Bernt, Warwick and I have put together a new version of the Me-262 for FSX. It's a reworking of the existing Flight Replicas Me-262a-1a, but now features, among other things, very, very accurate flight dynamics (including single engine flight, which with a Jumo is not easy), working gun system and collimated Revi 16B reticule, upgrades to the model, new high res textures, and best of all (depending on your point of view), all the famous headaches of accurately controlling the engines of the world's first operation jet fighter, including the ability to flood and shut down the power plants if you don't move the throttles at the correct speeds at the correct rpm. As far as I know, this is a first in FSX.

Other new feature? It's free. Yes, free, with only one small requirement: The Special Edition Me-262 will be free to anyone who has purchased any of the earlier Flight Replicas Me-262 packages for FSX. After the package is released, you will just need to send an email with your previous purchase info from any of the existing Me-262 vendors, and receive a download link in return.

The Special Edition will also be available for sale for new purchasers, but only on the Flight Replicas site. This because I do not imagine other vendors will want to hand out free aircraft, and wouldn't be happy to have to redirect customers to a potentially competing site.

There are still some details to work out. I will post more news as things move towards release, so stay tuned.

Mike

Will this apply to both 262 packages? I'm very much looking forward to this upgrade. I've had your 262 package for some time. :)
 
I was just flying my 262 the other day. I've had the FS9 and FSX 262's for a while also. I'm looking forward to the upgrade.......I'm sure I'll burn that sucker up!:applause::icon_lol:
 
This is more than I dared hope for! I bought all your 262’s but wouldn’t mind to have to pay for this new beauty! Thank you so much. Mike!
 
That is such good news! :applause:

Like others have posted, I was flying this after using the 109 a couple of days ago and just hoping that something like this might happen. Thanks, Mike.

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
What a nice surprise! Purchased the original FSX version a few years back. What a magnanimous offer! Thank you!
 
SHOCK HORROR and DISGUST:eek:on my part :sleep: I must have been in la la land , I'll wait till the upgraded package is completed <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
You guys are awesome! I purchased this years ago and still enjoy flying it. Have been mulling about buying the 109 (my hangar is getting quite packed these days), but this is awesome news. Especially knowing Bernt is in on it too. Guess this means I will actually have to learn how to fly the thing properly now since the engines will flood.
 
I should perhaps just add, in case there is any misunderstanding, that the Me-262 Special Edition is not a patch for the original Me-262's. This is a stand-alone package, and will consist of the 262a-1a version only.

thanks so much Mike!!

I have your me262 already

really looking forward to it

btw I have wished for the throttle management for a long time but thought it was not possible
I loved it in il2-1946 , amazing and totally unexpected
