cheers ian
 
Hey Cees,
I should know whose 109 that is, probably even have it, but I have to ask... whose 109 is it??? :biggrin-new:
 
TARPSBird, it is the old Shockwave/A2A Wings of Power Bf-109E. It's still a great one, especially with the free FSX-native update installed.





 
It is definitely still the best Bf109 Emil around! :encouragement: However when you start to see the shortcomings, somehow these shortcomings are all you see after a while.

I hated the pilot from the start. And I can still not look at the external model without getting annoyed by the poor pilot model. The external model has some minor error, but I can live with these as they are easily compensated by the great textures and paintkit by Martin "ICDP" Catney.
The VC still looks stunning after all these years, however it annoys me that not everything works correctly.

In other words, A2A I'm still grateful for this beautiful model, but it is really time you update it to WOP III level. I already know at least two persons who will purchase it.... :biggrin-new:

Cheers,
Huub

Edit: I forgot to mention the the early 109 models (With the square wing tips) are my favourites. So a Dora or a Cesar included in the update would be most welcome!



 
Wow! I should have the WoP CD somewhere. I'm tempted to search for it and maybe
make some skin.
 
In the meantime.. Dave Garwood did this for me for the 'K'..

Sad it was never restored to flying condition.. I enjoyed seeing it many times. She was restored to immaculate static display though.

Not to rob the tread, but is there a Helmut Wick paint or the 109?

Yep, there are even three. One done by Cees Donker, one done by Stovall and one done by Kercroix. They are all in the SOH library. Just do a search for the text "wick".

Cheers,
Huub

 
[SUB]I would buy a new C/D model that is up to par with the Spitfire, but it looks A2A are more interested in GA aircraft these days unfortunately..

As for the F/G models; the Fs9 Flight Replicas models still work fine in FsX:




[/SUB]
 
The JF Bf109 is also nice, on some points even more accurate than the Shockwave/A2A version, but it contains some errors as well. And surely the pilot look much better :biggrin-new:.

However it is far more difficult to repaint and there isn't a high quality paintkit available for it like there is for the Shockwave/A2A one.

Cheers,
Huub
 
The A2A Emil remains my "test" aircraft for FSX. If I need to evaluate a new setting or re-validate my setup due to a new addon not performing well, I trot out my trusty Emil and go for a not so short hop. Or quite often it's just because it is such a lovely plane to fly. I also have Flight Replicas K, and that is fantastic too Mike. I have the F&G models from Mike as well but don't fly them as much because my system takes a bit of a frame rate hit from them. A native FSX conversion of these would be great if not too much to ask for.
