This Messerschmitt design was an advanced development of the basic Me 262 airframe and was proposed in January 1944. The P.1099B utilized the wings and tail of the Me 262A-2a, but had an entirely new and enlarged fuselage and undercarriage. Two Jumo 004C jet engines were to be fitted and a crew of two or three sat in the redesigned cockpit. The basic armament for this variant was a mixture of remote-controlled FPL 151, FHL 151 and MK 103 cannons. A large variety of more detailed proposals for the Me P.1099 were issued on March 22, 1944, including various armaments.

This build is an attempt at a “heavy fighter” version of JG 54, with a total of five 20 mm cannons and a pair of Ruhrstahl X-4 wire-guided missiles.

Controls;

• AG1 : this freezes out the plane’s flight controls and activates a gyro for increased stability. Pitch/yaw (on-screen joystick) are assigned to the gun turret controls. You can cycle through the cameras for good aiming views of each cannon separately; for convencience though, it’s perfectly possible to control all guns firing to the rear from the gunner’s position camera angle.

• AG2 : lights
• AG3 : nose wheel unlock (taxi only)
• AG8 : toggle engine smoke effect

Enjoy!
