Some Luftwaffe planes...

Postby Boca » Sat Dec 15, 2007 1:38 pm

...I'm always perplexed as to why World War 2 Luftwaffe planes are largely ignored by the designers.( except in payware).
I'm thinking specifically of the Dornier Do 17, Heinkel HE111, Junkers Ju 88 or the Messerschmitt Bf 110.

Now I have a Junkers Ju88...it's not too bad...but it's not like the other above planes are mysterious and rare..they were part of the German Spearhead at the Battle Of Britain, and I just find it's curious that we're tripping over C-47's, B-17's , Spitfires and Mustangs yet finding these other planes is so difficult.

Yes that's true, nearly none of the old lovely fighters we made are existing for FS  :'(
Oh BTW: With "We" I mean Germans, I myself wasn't living there yet and I think I can be happy about that, though I never saw those planes there fly....  ;)

Alphasim make a superb He111 ;)

There are loads of Fw190s about and Me109s....

an Me110 would be good though

If you're running FS9 then most of the CFS2 ones work just fine ;)
We've got some lovely freeware German planes here from that era, one of my favourites is the Me-108. That is FUN 8-)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

No , the reason I didn't mention the Junkers 52 is because I didn't want it. I've got a very good one. I'm only after the planes mentioned. And the Heinkel 111 is $60.  ::)

Think I'll take up Ozzy's suggestion and go raking though the CFS2 folders...hopefully they won't be too 'cartoonish'.

I could always load up IL2...but I want to fly these things to and from places I know.

The Aeroplane Heaven BF-109E is rather nice - http://www.simviation.com/fs2004vintage50.htm

On the same page there is also a JU87 and a Do217 but I haven't tried them yet.  ;)

I already have the first two...but I'm certainly going to give that Dornier a try.

Just a head's up.
I found a cracking Heinkel 111 at Avsim  (gc_he11h6.zip) Check it out.. ( when asked to disable the CFO_FUEL_DUMP.Gau  disable it, or your sim will crash..)
( don't be put off by the FS2002 ,,it's all good )
