As I remember, Mauro's excellent Bf 109s work very well in FS2002. Even down to the automatic slat deployment.

The B-29 can take them all! The British build Jaguars, the Germans; Porsche and the Americans; Cadillac. Why nit-pick each other, when you can just climb to 25,000' and nuke verybody from a safe altitude, which is what I feel like doing to this worn out topic. You guys sound like a bunch of old biddies.

Yo visitor without us there would be no litlle island for you to save, and you better give a big thankyou to the russians aswell.

P.s Without the glorious merlin your P-51 that "saved" us would not be worth its weight in Avgas.

Only joking. You yanks needed a little encouragement to join the fight that was all.

Well again the corsair had huge problems with working on carriers because its nose was so long and the supsension made it bounce wildly across the deck. The  americans got fed up and gave them to us. We fixed the suspension problem and just did a very tight turning approach. When the americans saw this they started using our methods another problem fixed by us. The P-47 was a great aircraft along witht the mossie.

Sad, sad, sad, that it took a "Yank" to pull you from your Hurricane/Spit stupor. Maybe not THE best fighter to fly the Channel during the War, the Mosquito was definitely the sexiest.
           I don't know about a Mosquito being built, there is a group here at Fort Lauderdale that scratch built an exact flying replica of Amelia Earhart's Electra(flawless work). There's also a guy out in Washington state that is building 100% Me 262's with J85 engines. 

I'm just passionate about warbirds really. I had heard about the 262, didn't it crash on a test flight a while back?
Didn't know about Amelias plane being replicated. Gosh you learn something interesting every day here. Thats why I love it soooooo much. Thanks OTTOL.
Oh and Felix, I don't know about Kermits one, but there was an advert for a near completely restored project one going for sale. I only found it as I was researching engines for my Spit build and came across this advert.... Haven't found it again since! This was last year when the Spit project started getting off the ground (not physically yet sadly, long way before that happens).

Ozzy

If you happen to read AOPA, they had a quick blurb about the 262. I think, and don't quote me on this, there are two complete, and one in the works, with plans for more. I think there was a incident with the original aircraft, but nothing major, unless something else has happened in the three months since I read the AOPA article.
        Just as a matter of interest. I fly Lear 25's and 35's. The 25 uses the CJ 610 engine(essentially the same as the J85 used in the 262 replica). Our initial climb rate(up to 20,000 feet and greatly dependent upon temperature) is anywhere from 3,000-6,000 feet-per-minute. I don't know the exact specs on the 262, but I'm guessing it has to weigh 
half as much(15,000# MTOGW for Lear25D). And the magazine article said that the J85'S are 1/4 the weight of the originals. Sound's like fun airplane to fly!
