In 1945, Me-262á got a regulator that enabled the pilot to put the throttle anywhere he wanted, and then the regulator would automatically adjust the power in such a way as to prevent flame-outs etc. So the limitations of the engines remained, but there was less chance of the pilot exceeding them. Will this be modelled in your plane, Mike?

I too already have the 262 so this comes as an exciting annoucement. Many thanks , its appreciated ! Looking forward to it.

...also curious about the other projects . I hope the will be of similar ilk to the Boomerang, Me 109
...any clues ?..will it be military ? ...

if u make it up in a flght in is let us know how i feels compired to mikes new one.

Unfortunately there is no flying of the Me-262 for us volunteers. Gerry is very kind to all of us, and the museum is a great place to be. However there are liabilities and such that need to be taken in to account, and as such we are not normally allowed to go up on flights... If we go on a flight it is usually in the Dragon Rapide, Stearman, B-17, or stuff like that. A big deal by any measure, but certaintly not the Me-262 or P-51 if you will.

I didnt know you could improve the 262 package! The first one blew my mind. Awesome work, Mike!

The Rare versions are quite excellent and unique in flight sim!

Nice Screen dvj don't think i need all the variants , think the single Me-262 should suit me at the mo <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();} else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

I've owned your me-262 since its first release for fs9, but gotta admit, i didnt buy the fsx version. guess i always thought i'd just update the textures as needed since the original 262 was a fantastic plane to fly.. So, being as i am one of those who dont qualify ( couldnt anyway as my os and email stuff has changed since thwen and all that information was lost ) i guess my question would be; how much will be charged normally??

I don't know yet, Pam. We're not that far along with the release right now.

Thanks mike. Its appreciated..

What Warwick (Wozza) did was match the throttle movement speeds in the official Messerschmitt training film, coupled with some known rpm thresholds. Whether this film depicted an early or late fuel system, I do not know.

By the way, did I mention that the throttle management gauges have been made seperate (i.e. are in the Gauge folder, and not incorporated into the model), so that you will be able to retrofit all the earlier Flight Replicas 262 packages? (Only this throttle aspect, however, all the other upgrades remain unique to the Special Edition.)

Flight dynamics, too.

All clear, Mike. What a clever way to extract information! And excellent news that the throttle gauges can be retrofitted! I’ll certainly do it with the nightfighter!<o></o>
What do you mean by ‘flight dynamics too’? Are they, too, unique for the new package or can they, too, be retrofitted?

[mike_cyul]

Yes, flight dynamics can be retrofitted. Users will just have to copy and paste the .air and .aircraft.cfg files from the new Me-262, and then copy over and update the [fltsim.xx] entries in the aircraft.cfg to include the older paint schemes.

What more can we ask for? Thanks for the information, Mike.

Hello Mike, any news on this wonderful 'new' bird?

Hello Mike, any news on this wonderful 'new' bird?

It's really just a matter of finding the time to finish up the package. Bernt and I have both been busy, and with other projects that have had a higher priority. But if you check the Flight Replicas home page, you'll see it's now at the top of the list, now that the FSX 109K and P-51/Bf-109K packages are out of the way. I think there's a three-day weekend coming up here soon, and that should give me some much needed extended development time.

Can't wait! I wish Flight Replicas would adopt me! I don't eat much but I do spend a lot of time simm-flying!

[olderndirt]

Sitting here wondering - will it be cheaper to buy the original and be eligible for the free upgrade or to simply buy the upgrade?

[Stickshaker]

Top of the list! Great! Thanks, Mike.

I guess it depends on what models you want; the new version is a single-seat only, if you buy the pack now you'll get a twinseater too, and if you buy the boxset you get all the variations (Recon, anti-tankgun and nightfighter). The upgraded version will still be the single-seat only though.
