In this video we take a look at the hotly anticipated Fw 190 A-8 from FlyingIron Simulations. FlyingIron always seem to get it right and this is no exception. We take the Butcher Bird from North Weald Airfield to Duxford and see what she can do....and whether I can land her for the first time.

A great review, I was lucky to fly with Dick Forbes at a South African gliding club in the 80’s, he was one of 4 RAF pilots that were selected to form No.1426 (EAC) Flight responsible for the testing and evaluation of enemy aircraft on 21/11/41 and they were based at RAF Collyweston. Eventually they had 7 Me109’s, 4 FW190’s, 5 Junkers 88’s as well as an Me110 & 410, Heinkel 111, Henschel 129 and Fiat CR42. It was their job to travel around the country giving displays to other RAF squadrons and advice on how best to engage the enemy. Their first captured FW190 was delivered unserviceable and had to wait for a cylinder block to be acquired from a downed aircraft in the Middle East before Dick could test fly it on 24/10/43 whilst still in Luftwaffe markings and preferred it to the Me109.
Karl-Heinz Hirsch flew at our sister club 30km away, he learnt to fly the Me109F with the Luftwaffe. As part of his training he spent time at Rechlin where he test flew captured allied aircraft such as the Spitfire IX and Mustang. He fought on the Eastern front in Me109F’s before returning to Germany to finish off the war flying the Me262. It was a real privilege to know two WW2 fighter pilots who both test flew the other side’s captured fighter aircraft.
Thanks so much for sharing that, very interesting!
I kinda think I have read this before lol
Brilliant video! Its been a while since we've enjoyed such an in depth, enthusiastic video for an MSFS release! You and this channel at its absolute best!
Really enjoyed the route you chose and the genuine passion and detail learning and flying the aircraft. I really liked the FI Me109 and although tricky to ground handle its superb. Seriously considering the FW190 with all its power, characteristics and mid 40's prowess.
It is an engineering and technological masterpiece but difficult to set aside the loss of so many allied pilots and crews as a result of its creation. Its a difficult balance given so much loss on all sides.
@@AJL_UK thank you my fried, much appreciated.
Hiding the prop is invaluable in VR, especially if you're using things like motion smoothing/fps generation which can cause very weird artifacting and interaction of the prop with the envirornment.
I’ll have to dig out my index and give it a go. Many thanks.
Very good flying, thanks for the deep introduction. Looks fantastic, this is what I called a premium module.
@@airsheep many thanks!
Great vid of a great plane again, Rob!
Many thanks Toby!
Great video and what an aircraft this is, No regrets on this pre-2024 purchase as its that good. Re: Hiding the prop is something that VR Pilots seem to do a lot.
@@AlphaIndigo thank you my friend. Yes it’s really great fun. Nice to buy an addon and have no regrets! Thanks for explaining the prop hide feature. That rings a bell now.
Me and kilomike were flying over you but I don’t think you had multiplayer on great video tho
@JoelBonham-j7z many thanks
Excellent video. Can’t wait to get my hands on this warbird
@@RobertRogers-e6m many thanks, I am sure you will love it!
Very good review. Thanks for that. The pronounciation of the "Der Hund ist auf dem Fernsehapperat was quite good. Translated it means something like "the dog on the TV"
Sprengung means "you force an explosion". Anyway, thank you very much for the detailed review. I like the Wūrger or butcher bird. But I am more into the elegant and efficient English lady: the Spitfire❤
@@4secsharkmr352 thank you sir! Very interesting regarding the language and thanks for clarifying. I will be very sure never to press anything that has Sprengung written on or by it!
@@Dreamsofwings
Yeah, please don't touch anything with Sprengung or similar 😂😂😂
Wow, that flyby sounded good.
@@arclight4625 they really have the sounds nailed don’t they.
Great vid mate 🍻 🙂, what a stunning aircraft keep up the awesome work mate 🍻 🫡
Ps That flyby sounded beautiful
@@aidonatorgaming27 thanks! Yes they have nailed the sounds haven’t they
@@Dreamsofwings your welcome 😃
It''s nothing short of miraculous how fast aviation progressed back in those days. That was not 20 years after the WW1 planes that basically flew on lawnmower motors and were made out of cloth.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Incredible isn’t it!
Given the visibility challenges of “straight ahead” taxiing, takeoff, and landing in taildraggers, I’ve always wondered why nobody added a compact periscope of some sort.
@@baomao7243 that is ringing a bell but I can’t remember which aircraft, i am sure I saw something recently but not sure if I just imagined it last time the runway was lost behind the nose of the taildragger I was strapped into!
@@Dreamsofwings I am thinking the Spirit of St. Louis may have had something like a periscope. (I seem to recall Lindbergh had pretty much ZERO fwd visibility otherwise, due to the plane being a flying gas can.)
@baomao7243 yes that’s it, you are absolutely right.
Nice video as usual
@@jep1103 many thanks Jep!
Good looking airplane!
@@CCitis it certainly is, they’ve done a great job.
Hiding the prop is a feature I wish more planes had. Most prop animations devs do in MSFS are that classic strobing/flashing effect which is great if you're simulating a camera but terrible if you're trying to simulate the human eye. The boring truth is most props IRL appear as a slightly opaque disc with no real texture or movement. But that's not cinematic, is it? That being said, it doesn't appear overdone in the FW-190
@@canadiancaptainmoustache yes I think I know what you mean. Some prop discs in the sim can be quite ‘intense’
@@Dreamsofwings Yes indeed. I personally use the VR friendly Multi Pass mod (even though I don't fly in VR) which covers a lot of planes and makes the props more realistic.
Oh and great video. Thank you for the detailed explore of this bird.
@canadiancaptainmoustache many thanks!
…..the dog is on the TV….perfect German :-)😂 and FUG Sprengung means selfdestruct of radio equipment type FUG25 (this was a radio navigation system). So that it could not be captured by the enemy.😮
@@hausnm fantastic! Thanks for confirming, that’s what I thought it was.🫡
@@DreamsofwingsI added that FUG25 was a radio navigation equipment
Liar. The article was wrong. It's "Der Hund" not "Das Hund". ;)
great fun!
I hope asobo has improved the external flypast sounds in FS 2024. Listening to other prop aircraft fly around in 2020 sounds like you're inside a pipe.
FlyingIron have done a fine job though considering limitations
@@Dreamsofwings I'm with you on flying iron aircraft. The spitfire is absolutely tremendous, I like the 109 but she is a complicated girl. The hellcat is a chugging brute. The lightning, oh dear.
I'd love to see some twin engined medium bombers, B25, Mosquito Me110 etc
@TheSound0fLegends a Mossie would be great!
translation is: The dog is on the television :)
@@Skaska thanks!
Hiding the prop helps people using certain VR headsets when trying to get reasonable frame rates. You get distortion/tearing when looking trough the prop which spoils the experience. At least that is my experience.
Thanks!
Why can’t they implement combat into this game just imagine👀
@@neighborhoodturnt i am surprised they never revisited the Combat Flight Simulator series.
How different is this from the bf 109 or F6F?
Personally I find it more enjoyable to look at and fly than the 109. It is similar to the F6F in that it is a radial beast but more agile. It’s great that it has it’s own character.
@@Dreamsofwings is it about as hard to fly or operate as the 109? I feel like it’s about right in between the 109 and F6F in terms of difficult of flying and in terms of systems operations the easiest
@@mrcat5508 yeah you are probably right there. Having done some circuits and bumps in it today it is certainly easier than the 109
@@Dreamsofwings ok thx
@@Dreamsofwings having some time in the 109 did make the prop control gauge easier to understand.
When is it coming to Xbox?
@@derweed40 I think it’s in a few weeks.
@@Dreamsofwings tell them to HURRY OL CHAP

Ooh and Aah.
