Does anyone know of a German Training Aircraft from the BoB era I could download?
I have searched the libray but could not see anything.

Thanks

Hallo Oliver,

the german training aircraft for fighter pilots was the Arado Ar-96b.
It was the german counter part to the american North American T-6.
Also where used after the dedeat of France several ex-french fighters,
as the the Morane 406 and the Dewoitine D520.
As primary trainer the Luftwaffe used the Bücker Bü-131 Jungmann, later the
Bücker Bü-181 Bestmann.
You will find all these planes here in the SOH library or at flightsim.com
apart the Bücker Bü181 Best mann that I know only as a payware from Lionheart Creations.
Laterr near the end of the war The Luftwaffe used some few two seater versions of the
Messerschmitt Me 109 (Me 109 G-12) and the Focke Wulf Fw 190 (Fw-190 S).
On my knowledge sadly there are no Flightsim versions avaible of these two birds.
I hope that my little indications might help you.

Happy landings
Michael "Papi" Vader

I've had a look in the SOH Library and do not find the Arado Ar-96b, or the Bücker Bü-131 for CFS3. Can you point me in the right direction?

These aircraft are available as freeware for CFS2 (Arado) and FS9/FSX (Jungmann) but not as yet for CFS3 afaik.

Thanks for the replies.

Pity about the Arado and Jungman but a least I know I wasn't missing something when I searched!

The only German trainers I know of are not BoB period; an old version of the MS.406, a more recent D.520, and a relatively recent Bf109g-6. Not what you're looking for, but perhaps worth saying anyway...

Did the Krauts ever use the BEE-U-TEE-ful bf-108 for anything? That l'il sled would be such a gas to putt about in CFS3!! :mixed-smiley-010:

...AND, Owen, are there any mission possibilities for our Brewster in MAW??

I like the idea of a Bücker Bü-131, great for the BoB era. I'll put it on the 'to do' list.

If anyone knows someone with a gmax source they're willing to share please let me know :).

The FS9 model converts nicely. Plenty of work would need to be done as you know :dizzy:

That looks promising, but still a lot of work as you say! I ought to learn my lesson and start from scratch next aeroplane or else get the gmax source.
