Wow! That is a great looking model.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Wow, great looking model!!
Out of curiosity, it seems to me that this Messerschmitt 108 and the Saab Safir are greatly similar in appearance... Did the designers get a common inspiration or is it coincidence?

Thanks guys!
Pierre, not sure where the Saab engineers got their inspiration. Would be no surprise if they looked at the Bf 108 (like a couple others did) being the 10 years older design. The 108 is from 1934, the Saab from '44/'45.

Makes sense then! I guess it's the ransom of success, people copying your design and all... Grin

I looked at the price, I might have to wait a little bit though.

The Safir was designed by Anders J. Andersson, who had previously worked for Bücker, where he designed the Bücker Bü 181 "Bestmann". The Safir thus shared many conceptual features of its design with the Bestmann. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_91_Safir

B-E-A-utiful model....tha VC is superb Shocked

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Service Pack 1 has now been released, go get it while it's hot!

Service Pack 1 includes, apart from a few minor bugfixes and cosmetic texture improvements, a number of new features and functions:
The pilot now has company in the cockpit. New passenger figures on all seats are visible in exterior view, configurable using a new manager interface. The new real time manager provides quick access to fuel and payloads and to a number of commonly used simulation commands.
In preparation for the comming cold season there is now a visible and audible preheating aggregate available that facilitates engine cold start and helps avoiding engine wear.
For a complete description of all features please visit the Bf108 product pages at www.classics-hangar.de and download the updated user manual.

Existing customers can redownload and reinstall the product at no cost at their vendor's website.

The updated installation files are as of today available to customers of the Classics Hangar Shop and Simmarket. FS Pilot Shop customers will be able shortly to redownload the fully updated product.
