A new warbird is coming to us from Flying Iron Simulations for Microsoft Flight Simulator – the Bf109G-6. Officially announced today on their Facebook page, the project has been in the works for quite a while now and the release date of this project is already quite near at hand. Let’s have a look!
Fly the Bf109G-6
Of the approximately 33,000 Bf109s produced, over 12,000 of them were of one version or another of the Bf109G-6. This mid-war variant, introduced in 1943, marked an inflection point for the fighter where emphasis on dogfighting had become mixed in with requirements that were aimed at making it a better bomber interceptor. Of course little of that matters in Microsoft Flight Simulator but flying the warbird wherever and however you’d like.
Flying Iron Simulations have spent the last 9+ months working on the project and are adding the 109 to a mix of three other warbirds previously released to the sim. Their Spitfire IX, P-38L, and F6F-5 have all been impressive and so I expect their Bf109 will also pack in quite a few features. Their last project, the F6F, made use of the MSFS CFD performance calculation system to dial in the flight model and I’m guessing they will have done something similar with the Bf109 although no feature list is yet out.
We do, however, know the release date. June 14! In just a few days. It will then appear on the Marketplace sometime later.
Check out the screenshots and keep an eye on their website for the release.
