Warbird developer FlyingIron Simulations has released their much anticipated Focke-Wulf Fw 190 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Nicknamed the “Würger“, the Fw 190 was a prominent attack aircraft. Together with the Messerschmitt Bf 109 (also available by FlyingIron Simulations), the aircraft formed the backbone of the German Luftwaffe during WWII. The A-8 model that has been recreated by FlyingIron Simulations only entered production late into the war, but became the most produced variant of the aircraft, with over 6000 models produced.
FlyingIron Simulations rendition of the aircraft promises to be an accurate and detailed one. The developer has built a reputation for their accurate and detailed modelling of both the visual models, as well as the aircraft systems. The Fw 190 comes with many custom modelled systems, including a custom fuel, hydraulics and electronics model. On the visual side, the developer has incorporated several new features not seen on their previous warbirds. These include engine cowlings that can be opened, as well as era-appropriate aircraft equipment.
FlyingIron Simulations’ Fw 190 A-8 is available for $45 AUD through FlyingIron’s own website. The aircraft is expected to come to the MSFS Marketplace, including Xbox, next week.
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.
