You been around the flight sims awhile, and know the old saying of "two week" until release, which never seems to happen. Just wanted to put in a little levity into our wait.
Keep up the great work and we will all wait.

FSX Acceleration!
Really like this aircraft, theres a page on facebook dediated to it's engine alone lol, very popular aircraft and I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
Hmm, with all the fuzz about DX10 lately and on special request by Roger I thought I give the VC shadows another go.
Doesn't look too shabby and really gives a sense of "being there" when you see the shadows in motion.
might enable it in the release version.
Those that can run AC self shadows don't see a performance hit compared to exterior view.

A very immersive cockpit 
One area i really enjoyed was the sound package you created for your earlier FW190 packages , cant wait till we hear this inline Dora .<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Thanks again guys, much apprechiated!
for Ian and Chunk, sounds and shadows in motion.
Note cockpit engine sounds will get some more balls in the release version.
There are clearly more talented chaps around here when it comes to video editing so this is just quick and dirty:

Some of the D-13, the last in the Dora batch.
Wooden flaps, partially unpainted bare metal under surfaces, plenty of critical altitude since it has the same engine as the Ta152H (Jumo213E) less the intercooler (then called Jumo213F).
Since it's the only photographically known D-13 (of supposedly only two delivered to frontline units) and one of two surviving Doras worldwide it will receive three paints: A reconstruction of it's last wartime scheme, US captured colors and how it's today on display at the Flying Heritage Collection.
This one is the reconstructed wartime scheme.

I'm so excited about this project, and it is great to see the D-13 "Yellow 10"! I love the attention that you have and will be giving it, with its different looks at different times in its life. It's really something, how rare that aircraft is. The best estimates seem to place Fw 190D total production, of all variants, at 650-700. A German report from April 7, 1945, indicates that only two Fw 190D-13's were in service at that time, "Yellow 10" (WNr. 836017) being one of them. (Although there doesn't seem to be any photographs of them, I have read that some researchers believe that as many as 17 D-13's were manufactured before war's end.)
"Yellow Ten" was assigned to Geschwader Kommodore Major Franz Goetz of JG 26 in March 1945. Goetz was a 63-victory ace and recipient of the Knight's Cross. He is reported to have been very pleased with this aircraft and its performance - with the end of the war practically in hand by that time, just how much the aircraft was flown before the end of the war isn't known.
I love the hodge-podge of items incorporated in the aircraft, as when the aircraft was built, anything that would fit and work was used - for instance, the left and right control consoles in the cockpit are from a Ta-152, and are items that the aircraft still retains.
