Expert Overview
This add-on seamlessly recreates the Dornier Do 335’s signature push-pull engine configuration within Microsoft Flight Simulator, delivering an exhilarating high-speed flight experience. By boosting its top speed from 180 to 260 knots and incorporating an authentic alarm system that warns against overspeed, the mod faithfully captures the fighter’s WWII-era performance. Both the Pfeil single-seater and the two-seat Ameisenbär trainer include refined flaps functionality and accurate naming, ensuring a polished look and feel in-game.
Pilots will appreciate how the mod balances historical fidelity with modern simulation standards, all while hinting at future updates such as improved camera angles and lighting enhancements. Having tested it extensively, I find it offers an immersive, technically rich journey into aviation history, perfect for flight sim enthusiasts seeking a distinctive piston-driven challenge in their virtual hangar.

Unveiling a comprehensive addition to the Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020, the Dornier Do 335, in both its iconic Pfeil and trainer Ameisenbär variants, offers a unique blend of historical aviation and modern flight simulation experience. Let's delve into the technicalities and enhancements this freeware mod brings to your virtual skies.
Technical Overview
The Dornier Do 335 stands out with its push-pull configuration, a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other twin-engine designs. This layout, with one engine at the front and another at the rear, drastically reduces aerodynamic drag, lending to the aircraft's high-speed capabilities.
Enhancements and Features
- Performance Tweaks: Originally maxing at 180 knots, the mod elevates the Do 335's speed capabilities to a formidable 260 knots, pushing the boundaries of its historical prowess.
- Alarm System: A realistic alarm feature activates when exceeding 260 knots, reinforcing the importance of speed management in this high-performance aircraft.
- Updated Flaps Mechanism: The single-seater Pfeil variant sees an enhancement in its flaps functionality, improving its aerodynamic control and realism.
- CFG Title Edit: Both aircraft now appear accurately titled in-game, enhancing the user interface and selection experience.
Historical Context
As a heavy fighter developed by Dornier for WWII, the Do 335 was remarkable for its era. Its speed, attributed to its innovative engine layout, was unmatched by other piston-engined aircraft of the time. The two-seater trainer version, the Ameisenbär, mirrors this performance while offering a dual-pilot experience.
Future Updates
The developer hints at forthcoming enhancements, including potential improvements in camera functionality and lighting. These updates are poised to augment the realism and immersion for virtual pilots.
For enthusiasts of historical aircraft and fans of high-speed flight, the MSFS Dornier Do 335 mod offers an engaging and technically rich experience. Its unique design and enhanced features promise to bring a new level of authenticity and challenge to the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 platform.
