I'm moving the idea around to add the 2d radios and the payload manager to the Anton's and also polish certain portions of the code, no promises though......yet.......... :-)
Close to the years finish , must be a Christmas release .. course then - the new year would have to be the start on your Messerscmitt BF-110 .. jeez I'm so naughty to mention that
Nah, that's FHC's 190 in flight. The pilot took his feet off the pedals, naturalement.

This was another example of a beautiful German airplane forced by desperation into production before given enough time to work out the teething issues in testing. As I recall, this plane suffered from landing gear retraction failures, and some engine overheating due to oil temperature, plus the cockpit pressurization seals leaked. Yep, among the many innovations Kurt Tank designed was one of the first pressurized cockpits for a fighter aircraft! It was reported that this fighter could operate at 40,000 feet, giving it an enormous tactical advantage.
Though the Ta-152H had a very short operational life, it did achieve one very noteworthy achievement. It saved the life of Kurt Tank, who flying the experimental aircraft to a meeting, was jumped by two P-51 Mustangs and used emergency boost to decidedly pull away from them! That has to be a unique achievement that a designer's aircraft saved his own life by allowing him to avoid getting shot down in combat!
But, I suppose this virtual version will have all those bugs worked out and folks can enjoy an excellent example of the design genius of Kurt Tank!
