Classics Hangar Release Fw 190 A - The Early Variants

Posted on Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:19:23 GMT
The German flight simulation developer Classics Hangar releases its first project for the Microsoft Flight Simulator X engine, "Fw 190 A, the early variants". Included in the package are renditions of the four early production variants of the WW II Luftwaffe's second major fighter aircraft, the Focke Wulf Fw 190 A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 and a special high altitude modification, the Fw190A-4/U7.The package consists of nine different model variations and 34 liveries, some of which have never been done before for a flight simulation, beautifully recreating the early operational history of this legendary German fighter aircraft.

Classics Hangar developers Mathias Pommerien and Alessandro Biagi, both founding members of the Groundcrew Design Group that has brought many classics to the flight simulation community, have teamed up for this project with Master Aerofile Designer Greg Pierson of AvHistory.org to bring the best possible Warbirds experience to the passionate PC Pilot.

More information:

When the Fw190A had it's debut over the channel front by late summer of 1941, it came as a shock to the British RAF pilots. This fast and extremely manouverable new German fighter outclassed their Spitfire Mk V in any respect. The business-like yet powerfull lines of the Fw190 would rule the skies over Europe for the year to come, remaining competitive in it's various reincarnations for the duration of the war.

This FSX package recreates the four early production variants of the WW II Luftwaffe’s second major fighter aircraft, the Focke Wulf Fw 190 A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 and a special high altitude modification, the Fw190A-4/U7.
Included are 9 different model variations and 34 liveries, some of which have never been done before for a flight simulation, beautifully recreating the early operational history of this legendary German fighter aircraft.
