Junkers Ju 388J Night Fighter Package for CFS3
This package contains two flyable Junkers Ju 388J night fighters for Combat Flight Simulator 3:
Ju 388J PE+IB
Ju 388J 9W+JL
BACKGROUND
The original aircraft was previously distributed as a Ju 388-based model that had often been used as a stand-in for the Ju 188. Examination of the model, armament, and configuration shows that it is more accurately represented as a Ju 388J night fighter.
Accordingly, this release restores the aircraft to its proper identity as a Ju 388J.
FEATURES
Two late-war Luftwaffe texture sets:
PE+IB
9W+JL
Flyable configuration
Night fighter armament including forward-firing cannon and Schräge Musik installation
Ju 88G-series cockpit adapted for flyable operation
Separate standalone aircraft folders
PERFORMANCE
The supplied flight model provides approximately:
Maximum speed: approximately 386 mph at high altitude
Service ceiling: approximately 40,000 ft
Practical operating altitude: 30,000–35,000 ft
Flight testing indicates good climb performance to 30,000 ft, with reduced climb capability above 35,000 ft as expected for a high-altitude twin-engined aircraft.
NOTES
This package is intended as a flyable Ju 388J night fighter and should not be regarded as a Ju 188 bomber.
The cockpit installation is adapted from a Ju 88G-series night fighter and is provided to give a practical flyable cockpit environment for CFS3 users.
CREDITS
Original model, textures, and development remain the work of the original authors.
Flyable conversion, standalone aircraft configuration, cockpit adaptation, and packaging for CFS3 by Mongoose.
