Kurt, these planes really look great! Thank you for your efforts!

Captain,
Yea man, I think I can handle that. Glad to play some small part. Same deal as before? Get me some artwork (me painting, very slow) and I'll see what I can do. It's been a while but I'm guessing 3 bitmaps -- background, needle, and a mask/overlay to take out the bottom of the needle. PM to be sent shortly -- the old e-mail swap thingy.
Highpockets,
I'm with you. There is simply an amazing amount of talent within these walls. It would be interesting to ask a non-CFS2er to guess to age of the sim using pics like those above. I doubt they would say anything like 2000. Also, per my recent efforts I noticed the Direct X version. The file within the CFS2.exe is D3D11.dll which has a version of 6.2 -- and it's up to 12 or so currently!
Good to be back,
AC
It's the little things that eat up the time (if you can't paint like me).
I'm close though. Actually was pretty fun.

Marvellous works, Kurt and Paul!!!!
I've loved Paul R's Bf-109s (even with all of their little idiosyncrasies) ever since he released them more than 15 years ago (yikes!). These new updates though look fantastic. Thank you Kurt and Paul.
Well I,m back , and have to say , Marvolous workings going on here , Like the new gauge too ,
Hi all
I just uploaded the first Messerschmitt update pack, the Bf109G-2.
Note to Rami,
If you would please - remove my previous Bf109 uploads. They are being updated and replaced along with all the new ones I will be posting over the next several days. Thank you.
Cheers,
Captain Kurt

Paul Straney 'pstrany' - Bombs and rocket models, prop textures and .dp development.
Wolfi and Shessi - Pilot models
Paul Rebuffat gave permission to Paul Straney to use his models for further model development. That project has been underway for some time but has been put on hold currently due to some real life issues Paul is working through. In the meantime we developed a number of skins, flight files, panels and weapons which are compatible with the original Bf109 model series.
While working on the project I played around with the alpha channels in the texture files and discovered I could somewhat correct the profiles of the different mark's rudders to a more accurate outline, and that I could load the pilots from our previous Team Daedalus Fw190 project into the 109 cockpits.
Therefore while we are on hold for the new models, I can update the original models to a degree that makes it worthwhile for them to be made available - at least as placeholders until the new Messerschmitt models can be finished.

Kurt,
Very nice job!
Per your request, though...the only one I can find that matches thus far is the top-right aircraft depiction, which I will remove with conformation. The others are either trops, G-4s, or G-6s, or a combination of both.

. . . I would quadruple thumbs ups. She's stunning Kurt. And a too early in the morning neural discharge -- how 'bout a panel pic? But wait -- I can download it and see for myself. Yea -- worked a little late last night.
Waking up an ancient brain, congrats again,
Sam
Kurt, you’re giving me too much to play withtonight. I’m easily distracted Ya know.
Congrats again, again,
Sam
Excellent work! Thank You!
Wow! These are great, Kurt! Thanks again, and to everyone else's work on these.
PS
Not to distract from the great work presented in the thread here, but I've had a lot going on with family responsibilities for me lately so my time has been a bit short for CFS2 and the forum.
Here is the next 109 update package, the R6 gunboats.

Note to Rami,
Sorry I should have explained further. All of my previously uploaded Bf109s are being replaced over the next few days which is why I asked they all be deleted to make way for the updated versions. Thanks.
Cheers,
Captain Kurt
