FlyingIron Simulations has issued update 1.0.3 for their Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The update fixes several issues with the modelling, lights, colours and animations of the aircraft. The sound has also been updated, and the flight model and aircraft systems also received numerous updates and fixes to make the aircraft behave more realistic and immersive.
If you do not yet own FlyingIron Simulations Bf 109G-6, you can purchase it for $45.00 AUD. The team is currently running a sale, dropping the price to $31.50 AUD.
