Messerschmitt BF109 Fighter

Messerschmitt BF109 Fighter

A flyable Messerschmitt BF109 fighter. This Second World War aircraft had a top speed of 398 mph (640 kph) and an all up weight of 3400 kg. This flying model has an automatically retractable undercarriage, set for a takeoff speed of 140 kph in the script.

The propellors are constant speed, simulated blades. The aircraft tilts and banks realistically. It does not have an operating interior, but does have various exterior views based on an invisible interior, use the [ and ] keys from the interior view.

The wing cannon emit smoke and sound when operated by the horn keyboard key H. The Aircraft Action Trigger, kuid:76656:24050 when placed on track and set to the correct number, causes the tyres to issue smoke and sound when landing (trigger number 4 setting). See my wepages for details.

The speeds for for tilting and landing gear retraction on takeoff may be altered in the string table above - speeds are in kph.

Note the model engine specification is set up for operation in TC3. Original settings for acceleration and deceleration suitable for TRS2006 will not allow the aircraft to accelerate in TC3 - the settings have been increased by a factor of 4. If you find the aircraft accelerates too fast in TRS2006, reduce these settings to one quarter of their value.
