but we have quite a few updates at the Classics Hangar.

Fw 190 A, The Late Variants for Flight Simulator X, Update to Version 1.22

:mixedsmi: now that's music to my ears...

Mr. Mathias,
Count me in on these excellent looking products; just waiting for my newly purchased system(s) memory to arrive and I can finally get my FSX going again.

Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
From,
James F. Chams

[Mathias]

My pleasure, Mr "JamesChams" Chams. :-)

There seems to be a little bit of confusion regarding the file distribution.
First, if you have purchased either the early or late variants elsewhere (FS Pilot Shop, SimMarket) please wait a few days, they don't currently have the new files ready.
If you purchased at the Classics Hangar Shop please login to http://www.classics-hangar.de/store with your account data, click on "Your Account" in the upper right menu, call up your old order and re-download the product.
All download counters and file version associations are refreshed, you'll get the new version by doing the afforementioned.

On a special note, if you have previously pirated either of the both products you cannot upgrade to the new version at the Classics Hangar Shop.

Mr. Mathias,

I sincerely hope you don't think I do that?

I always ONLY buy... except when the "support fails" or is no longer available and then, and only then, I go buy somewhere else and from someone else; I NEVER pirate. Thus, to my knowledge, I've never purchased these products anywhere so, I'll be a "new customer" to you; so be nice to me cause I'm really good intentioned about my needs, wants, and requests.

Thanks again.

Hahaha, next time I try to format my posts better.
That wasn't directed at you.

[gajit]

Thank you very much for this excellent free update. :salute:

I look forward to buying your next one - 110??

[Mathias]

Working on two now, gajit, 108 and 110.

[Steven190]

I am D/L now Thanks

[gajit]

I'll have 2 of each please!

[some1]

Great update and beautiful plane, many thanks.

Is there taildecal texture with swastika like it used to be for the v1.0? The original one doesn't seem to work.

[flaviossa]

Thanks Mathias! :salute:
Nice work! Can you say if the "tail insignias" not official patch works with ver.2.0 of Early Variants?

[Mathias]

The historically accurate tail insignias should pop up shortly.
The 1.x insignias do not work with this one.

Downloading my full pack now.

I love these aircraft and Classic Hangers Hard Work...and Service

Thank you for the updates :salute: Sir

I notice some changes in the texture file regarding tail decals ...(which dont work now)

but now the next question... do the repaints work? I have not moved any yet to see?

[Mathias]

I certainly hope so! :d

No on both accounts.
Tail decals have moved to the new noseart texture.
The good news, I've allready seen what you're looking for and expect it to see the light of day very soon.

Third party repaints made for the Early Variants 1.x are no longer compatible since some texture coordinates have changed. This affects mostly the forward section of the aircraft, engine nacelle, upper gun cover and the inner geardoors.
There's new paintkits with the 2.0 install

Mathias,

Thanks for the reply

The VC is really a true work of art...

Mathias:

The cockpit textures look fantastic! Thanks as well for the sale. I am very tempted to purchase the Early Variants. However, I would like to know if the updated version has addressed the wobble and spin issues when the engine is off. If not, are these issues present in the Late Variants? I prefer the Early Variants, but I think the wobble would be a show stopper for me. (I checked your forums and could not find the answer.)

Regards,

Major V

Hi Major V,

we have implemented a workaround with the release of the late variants that is supposed to adress the issue in at least 90% of all scenarios. Infact, I havn't heard a single complaint about it with the late variants.
The same workaround is now implemented into the early variants 2.0.

[majorv]

Thanks for the prompt reply, Mathias! You have a new customer.

Regards,

Major V
