You may think you have, but you haven't, and you may think it's a G-6, but it isn't... The eagle-eyed will spot it instantly!
 
I've started to fly the ANR missions included in ETO (eras 4 & 5).

First missions are flown in the Luftwaffe and this screen shot has been taken during the second mission (ANR 44/01/07: Reconnaissance). I shot down a P40 but I've been shot down myself by a Spitfire while I was coming back home.
 
I hope the missions in ETO don't specify my aircraft... I did not give permission for them to use them.
 
No... G-2s don't have the feed-mechanism bulges on the cowling. They were still equipped with MG17s rather than MG131s. Admittedly, I did use the stock G-6 model for the G-4/R3 (which also had MG17s) but there's no real choice. Here you can see the bulges are really meant to be there!
 
No - the G-14/AS is practically indistinguishable from the G-10. Look for the positioning of the oil filler hatch, that's the easiest way to tell if it's a G-6/AS, G-14/AS (these last being essentially identical) or a G-10. The G-10's DB605D engine meant the filler cap was some eight inches higher up than on the DB605A models. Standard DB605AS engines don't give you the little blisters under the forward cowling either, although aircraft with DB605ASM engines did have them, along with the MW50 filler cap in frame 2 starboard opposite the fuel tank filler cap. So look for the oil filler cap first!

Confused enough? It gets a lot worse before it gets better!



Hint - look at the starboard breech feed blister.

I'd say a G-6/U4 30mm cannon?

Good try, but no - there is no compressed air port in frame 5 starboard about where the lower edge of the horizontal arm of the cross goes! There is a compressed air port on the port wing close to the fillet - which is where it goes for the MG151/20 (although you can't see it in the screenshots.).
 
If you've been to the downloads section, then you may well have one of these by now.
