at least for me.
I don't usually post shots of german planes from WWII.
As a person of Jewish heritage it seemed a little strange.
But I have always admired the designs and this is a beauty.
Nuff said this is the WOP Focke Wulf 190 somewhere over France.

A fellow jew! Yeah, same with me, sometimes I hesitate with the german planes, but then ignore it and fly!

Thanks for the replies.
I just took off from a random French airbase which existed during WWII.
The scenery is FSScene Europe with all the updates especially the latest which realigns the autogen making a really good product really great.
I use a combination of ASV and FE for the environment(clouds water etc....) and the weather.
The "trick" here is that I use Nvidia graphics cards in this case a BFG 6800GT OC this lets me set levels of color correction and image sharpening etc.......................before I fly.
With this I can make adjustments until things look the way I want them when I'm flying.

Beautiful shots.
But I have always admired the designs and this is a beauty.
I think this is the best way to look at it. I admire some of the technology that was developed by the German's, and I think it is also a fitting memorial to all those who died "on the other side" from the allied perspective.

Beautiful.
Try to keep "war" and "holocaust" seperated. Makes things easier.

Great shots of a scary looking plane...with that lightning/eagle it really does look very 'nazi' but a beauty none the less...all warplanes are used to kill anyway, often the innocent suffer as a result, at the very least pilots's families. Best not to think about it...probably.

It sure is, and thats the way I usually look at it, especially because I plan on being an Aerospace engineer, so its important for me to look at engineering designs, especially those of such wonderful and successful aircraft.

I agree Bjorn. A very good way to look at it.

I'm glad that the SimV crowd can make informative and mature comments. I was flamed on another site for posting a picture of a captured P-47 in German colours.
Great pictures again Michael!
