weebabyseamus just over 10 years ago! (BTW the original is still loads of fun to fly.) It was their first request, and second (public) upload requested by Lolivier. it was the second attempt at an FW-190, seamingly based on the A models, featuring a hidden Jet Engine for extra umph.
This one is a more modern build with all the new parts and VR ready, with most of the instruments in the right place. It's combat ready, featuring a new technique I whipped up for synchronized machine guns. it also feature gun azimuth. my only gripe with it is it has 220 gallons of fuel compared to the real ones 140, and that above a certain altitude it's a rocket. But also at altitude it turns like a bag of bricks.
It has been repainted in the colors of Green 2, a plane that crash landed in Russia and was subsequently captured and evaluated.
Due to recent world political strife, any and all country markings have been omitted. I actually considered not uploading this, and infact removing a nother build all together.
Craft Instructions included in build, will post here soon

For VR use as always use the controller for landing and takeoff, do not use virtual controls. For use in combat, you'll need to put something under your butt to adjust the camera height because it does sit a bit low.
FUN FACT! I got to go to the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum In Everett WA two years ago when my family and I went to SEA-Tac WA. I'll tell you I about lost my senses when I saw this thing!
