The Butcher Bird. The Würger. A true icon of aerial warfare; respected by allies and feared by enemies. The Fw 190 A-8 represents the pinnacle of German radial engine fighter design and stands as one of the most formidable aircraft of World War II. Dreaded by many, the Fw 190 proved the be the ultimate nemesis to Spitfire Mk V; dominating the skies over Germany as a fighter while also proving itself invaluable as an interceptor, earning a fearsome reputation amongst Allied bomber crews. Known for its exceptional performance, heavy armament, and robust construction, the Fw 190 was a force to be reckoned with in any engagement. Step into the cockpit of this legendary warbird; meticulously recreated with our most detailed and authentic simulation to date. Countless hours have been invested by our team over a 2-year period, developing new simulation techniques to truly capture the unique characteristics of this remarkable aircraft. Features: • Stunningly detailed, AAA quality 3D artwork with 14 historically accurate liveries included. • Experience one of the most detailed soundscapes available for MSFS – feel the distinctive roar of the BMW 801 D-2 radial engine from all angles with TWELVE unique engine captures – 6 external, 4 cockpit and 2 propeller layers. Experience true immersion with all new sound dynamics, including engine torque response, dynamic propeller sound simulations, realistic airflow sound modelling (which includes blade wind, propwash, airflow over control surfaces and more) as well as realistic airframe and foley sound layers. • Hear the Würger scream past with our cutting-edge FlyingIron Atmospheric Sound Propagation Model, developed with full dynamic modulation for true flyby & distant sound authenticity. Our propagation model recreates this sound by modelling ground reflections, delayed soundwaves, atmospheric propagation effects on sound frequency, doppler shifting and much more. No flyby recordings are used at all; distance & flyby sounds have been authentically modelled based on real sound physics to ensure the Würger sounds incredible from all angles, all the time. • Unparalleled flight model authenticity – developed through extensive collaboration with Fw 190 pilots, BMW 801 experts, and technicians to create a truly realistic model of the airframe and engine dynamics. The flight and engine models have undergone rigorous testing by a team of experts to validate performance and behaviour. Our custom-coded additions extend realism beyond the base simulator's capabilities. • Faithful recreation of the Fw 190's complex systems – powered by our custom codebase to ensure each aspect of system simulation is accurately reproduced and future-proof against Sim updates. This includes detailed modelling of fuel, hydraulic, and electrical systems, as well as emergency procedures. • Advanced electrical modelling captures every detail of the electrical system, from wiring paths and circuity, down to electrical draw of individual light bulbs. Electrical failures and circuit breakers are fully functional and integrated. • Custom ground handling physics and landing gear models developed specifically for the Fw 190, capturing its unique characteristics. • Breathtaking UV cockpit lighting - each light is individually designed, casting real ambient light for an immersive night flying experience. • Achieve true immersion with dynamic cockpit vibrations, animated gauges, a functional Revi 16B gunsight, and much more!• Full integration of the FlyingIron Pilot's Tablet – featuring UX enhancements such as Autopilot, various aircraft options, realism settings, data monitoring, weight & balance calculations, and more. All tablet settings are saved and persistent for your convenience. Climb into the cockpit of one of history's most iconic fighters and experience the thrill of flying the Fw 190 A-8 anywhere in the world! Note: The Fw 190 A-8 will receive a free upgrade to MSFS2024.
