Hi!
What can I tell about this different from the word 'FANTASTIC'........nothing!!!!!
It's a good news for us!!!!!
About G6/AS FM if I understand past topic I rmember that those FM is too bad and under real a/c performance. Isn't it ??
cheers

SEMPER INCOMMODUS
The stock G6/AS FM isnt "bad", it just doesnt fit ANY real 109 at all. From its performance it is neither a G6/AS which does not have MW50 and still attains a topspeed of 650km/h at 8300m, nor is it a G14/AS that uses MW-50 and reaches 690km/h at 7500m
Our ingame G6/AS uses MW50 and reaches 690km/h at 6000m. No sign of its supposedly high altitude DB605ASM engine at all.
Very nice guys!
An open question - would the G-14/AS be more likely to have large or small wing bulges?
I understand that apart from *some* G-14/AS being fitted with the larger Fo 987 oil radiator, they were otherwise identical to the G-6/AS.
As we know, the G-6/AS had the small wing bulges unless any survived long enough to be modified; and then I'm sure only if there were sufficient parts or the will to do it. I have not seen any evidence of a G-6/AS with the larger wheels, but this does not mean that there weren't any. I guess any G-14A/S would be more likely to receive the larger wheels, being produced later; but again I have not seen any evidence so far.
It's a tricky one. I just had a quick sortie in this new machine and was thinking that it is visually different from any of the other 109s, thus nicely representing another of the multifarious incarnations of the machine. Unfortunately, I think it was visually the same as the 109G-6/AS, and just the performance was different.
However, we know that the G-14 was identical to late production G-6s, *but*, it could be produced with a classic or Erla hood, small or big tailfin, lengthened tailwheel, upper wing surfaces squared if wheels were bigger. So, I might guess, and it is only a guess in the absence of photographic evidence, that this may have also applied to the G-14/AS?
If we keep the 14/AS as is, it would be different from the G-6/AS and G-10 by the large wing bulges (LWB), different from the G-14 by the cowling, and different from the K-4 by the mainwheel covers, tailwheel and the antenna. So it's visually unique and most probably historic. I guess the counter argument is that the SWB are potentially more accurate by shorter odds.
I think my vote would go to keep as is, but if that is the case, then you would need to add the later wheels to the mod pack. At the moment they are the early/small ones.
It should definately have small wingbulges as it was the most common type. It could have a tall tailwheel though, that was quite common.
Great job on the mod though, I've been missing a Bf109G-14/AS slot!
CheerS!
Pardon my ignorance on the fine details of the G-14A/S, but how does it differ from the G-10? (ignoring the variation in wings, canopies, tailwheels and tailunits present in all latewar 109s)
