Messerschmitt BF109 E4 Aircraft v1.07
Here’s an addition to the already very popular Hurricane. None other than the Messerschmitt BF109-E4. Just in case some of you fancy a dog fight.
First Flight
The first flight by a Messerschmitt Bf109 took place in September 1935. At the time, Germany was rearming, as it cast off the restrictions imposed in the aftermath of the First World War. The creation of machines like the Bf109 was part of this rearmament.
Starting with a British Engine
At the time of the Bf109’s creation, relations between Britain and Germany were still good. Early models were therefore powered by a British engine – the Rolls-Royce Kestrel
Model E
The definitive version of the Bf109 was the model E, affectionately known as the Emil. This fast, maneuverable plane first entered service in 1938. By the start of the Second World War, around 1,000 of them were in use by the Luftwaffe.
Although alot has already gone into this project it is still work in progress.
Landing gear lever to the right and gear indicators up/down on panel.
Canopy not working yet. Bit awkward as it flips up as opposed to slide. But will try. All consctructive comments welcome.
UPDATE:1.1
Well here you go chaps! First update.
Numerous suggestion mainly about the scale/flaps and speed. So I have touched on all three.
I have rescaled the model to what I think is suitable. Increased speed considerably,
adjusted flaps and redone the anim for certain parts. Because of the rescaling I also had to readjust the pilot view .I think its better than it was but I am sure you will let me know otherwise.
Now its past my bedtime.
Good Night and be safe flying.Dont skim too many tree tops. Leave some for me.
