I recall on setup you have specific texture sheet loading either the 2048 or the 4096 , from the what you are saying your g/card is limited , reinstall on the lower settings .

Nah you have to download the tool from Here install it and then choose your resolution. There is also a file called Cockpit texture Manager to enhance the cockpit textures A short cut to the utility is located in Start Menu\Classics Hangar\Fw190A\. If for some reason you cannot find the program there you will be able to find it in the first FW folder in the FSX\Simobjects\Aircraft folder
I have also noted that the Chevron center fuselage is a little blurry nothing can be done about this as it is the way the texture files are compiled.
It is a great aircraft I enjoy flying mine on a regular basis, once you get used to the lack of frontal vision on approach I stuck a pillow on the seat so I can see over the dash

oooo dude ..have you uploaded the ZK-RFR anywhere,..and if not may I please please have a copy of it...please

Which one? Often enough I have seen this same question... As You know me, it is for me a question of historie. I am interested in historical replicas, to have an idea from flying older aircraft. They give me another Point of view then those Point-and-klick-Aircraft. with all of this NINTENDO-Junk in the cockpit.
Flying Replicas... I like them have the Messerschmitt Bf 109K and the Curtiss P-40N from them. A2A ... Miles ahead... it is a Point of view. They have far more fancy and are good flying historical aircraft... if you have the Accu Sim for the aircraft. But, both of them are historical acurate enough, can do, what the orignal aircraft can do. Have a look at the Curtiss P-40B from A2A and the Curtiss P-40N from Flying Replicas. Both are right in the flying capabilities, didn´t fly good above 15.000 ft... But which one?

The Point is time. If you want to fly an aircraft that was produced bevor wartime, no not produced... manufactured with far more acuracy because the workes have far more time to build them, the P-40B is for you. If you are a fan from the "Flying Tigers", A2A with Accu Sim P-40B/C is the right ship.

If you want "the typical Curtiss P-40" for wartime" the Curtiss P-40N is the better package. These are aircraft, mass-produced 1943/1944 and typical for it´s time. 1943/44 see this aircraft on nearly every front of WWII. They are not the best fighters. Many pilots hate them more or less. but other like "Killer Caldwell" like this aircraft. as you can see here. http://www.amazon.com/Clive-Caldwell-Air-K...ve+Caldwell+RAF

In this case, this package is for you.

Think, many Flusi-Aviators must learn about historical events and not to buy just another aircraft. All those replicas are a part of understanding history and as such to see them and fly them is more than just another aircraft... in my eyes.
It is up to you to understand the message and and make your decision...

Andreas , you hit the nail directly on the head , been the long argument is flight simulation is to learn and operate the GA or get to learn airline operations , flight simulation has always missed the point the fact due to modelling and a large part having airshow pilots putting their input in .

It is the reading and the historical reference i follow - and everyday is learning what it would have been like - Flight Simulation is not a combat sim but today you can test and try to start understanding what it was like to fly the types and that is what i love about the program

Yes Ian, this is the Point.

Another thing. If You have the Justflight Mitsubishi A6M2 Modell 21 Zero and the Grumman F4F-4 "Wildcat"

http://www.justflight.com/product/pacific-combat-pilot

you can see, what these aircaft could do and how they are in flight against each other.... Yes, these aircraft-replicas may not "the first legue", but are good enough to understand.

Look at his book. http://www.amazon.com/Kogas-Zero-Fighter-C.../ref=pd_sim_b_1

This is the Story of the frst A6M 2 Zero in US-american inventory, historical overview, Battle of the Aleutians in Mai 1942, the wrackage at Akutan-Island, rebuilding an foreign aircraft, test-flying it and search for tactics against the Zero...

In this book you can find the original Tests hold by the US Navy and Army against Curtiss P-40E, Bell P-39D, Grumman F4F-4, Grumman F6F-3, Vought F4U-1 and Lockheed P-38F You can see, that the Modell may not "A2A-Standart" but good enough to see in the FSX, what the Autor of the book ist writing for...

The other aircraft for this competition you can find from various sources but look at the Version! They are very different.

For example. It is the same by long produced aircraft like the Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 "Emil" flown in the Battle over England September 1940 and the Messerschmitt Bf 109K-2 "Kurfürst" flown on the 1. January 1945 with Operation "Bodenplatte" over the Ardennes. Look at the Version and you can see the differences and also the Quality-deficiencies by the last aircraft of the "Third Reich" ...


My next historcial aircraft to buy is the Grumman F8F "Bearcat" from Vertigo. It was the Counter-Kamikaze-Fighter... but it came to late for WWII. It was used as remote-controlled Target, as first aircraft of the "Blue Angels", as Navy-Reserve-Fighter, but not in Korea. It was in the war, in the French Indochina-war. And it was a time long (modified) the fastest Piston engined aircraft of the world.

But i have time. We have Christmas and many Sales in the next weeks...

[Ian Warren]

The Zero and the Bearcat I do have, the Wildcat i missed out on and replaced that with the VS Hellcat - one thing we , least a few members with the types is test and compare in a multiplay , we set up going though the specifications and reading the limits and performance then try them out , lots of fun doing that .

I have the superb book "Battle of the Airfields" by Norman Franks "Operation "Bodenplatte" over the Ardennes" .. really puts in the field of battle but only in tactics, it is handy to have a few other books around regard to the 109s ... again pitting 'Flight Replicas' 109K to the 'RealAir' MK14 makes for a great challenge .

[hasegawa]

Sorry, but I hope, that it is understandable, that I have only books in german language about the Messerschmitt Bf 109...

The "Kurfürst" Messerschmitt Bf 109K-4 from Flying Replicas is o.k, good enough for the Job you want.

All good Andreas , have that 109k-4 , I guess you favourite authors would be Jochen Prien and Peter Rodeike , the "Schiffer Military" series of books four volumes covering all variants and models.

Many may have not seen the thread , course over time people have had a chance to compare and put new input in , so easy a topic to disappear and get buried .
