Introduction

The third part of the award winning Classics Hangar Fw190 series puts you into the
cockpit of the last models of this exceptional German fighter aircraft of World War II, the
Focke Wulf Fw 190 D and the high altitude fighter Focke Wulf Ta 152 H.
Find out how the Fw 190 D restored the competitiveness of the Luftwaffe's fighter stable
and experience why the impressive performance of the Ta 152 H became a live insurance
for it's pilots during the final battles of the war.
The cockpits are researched and implemented with the familiar Classics Hangar love for
detail and accuracy.
A tool helps you to configure your FSX for the use of the highly detailed 2048 or 4096
pixel textures. A payload manager allows you to change fuel and payloads „on the fly“
without pausing the simulation and also grants easy access to some selected simulation
commands. The fully functional virtual cockpit is completed by a 2d radio which combines
a vintage look with access to modern COMM, NAV and ADF functionality.
The AvHistory '6DoF' flight dynamics not only let you fly the Fw190D and Ta152H “by the
numbers” but also give you an organic sense of flying these impressive machines through
air.

Fw190D-9

Already by early 1942 Focke Wulf began construction work with different engines in an
effort to improve the Fw190's high altitude performance. On schedule were plannings for
projected variants B, C and D. Since the Junkers Jumo 213 equipped Fw190D promised
the most potential trials began by September 1942 with the Fw190V17 test aircraft.
The water-cooled inverted V in-line engine Junkers Jumo 213A offered 1750 metric HP
take off power and promised a greatly improved high altitude performance.
Implementation of the new engine required a number of changes to the original airframe.
The engine mount was strengthened and the engine nacelle was increased by some 60
centimeters/2 ft. Dive speed was improved thanks to the more streamlined nacelle.
To improve the center of gravity a 500mm/1.6ft long cylindrical connecting piece was
inserted in front of the tail fin, the socalled “Rumpftonne” (fuselage drum) and a
140mm/0.4ft wide steel case was added to the vertical fin.
Since the Jumo 213 offered improvements merely at higher altitudes efforts continued to
improve it's performance. When the Fw190D-9 first entered service by October 1944, all
delivered aircraft received a manifold boost kit that increased power to 1900 metric HP.
During the production methanol-water cooling was implemented that allowed for another
performance increase to 2100 HP take off power.
The armament with two MG131 machine guns in the upper nose and two 20mm cannons
MG151/20 was similar to that of the Fw190A-8 which was the constructional base of the
D-9 as indicated by the numbering sequence in the name: The A-8 develops into the D-9.
Like it's predecessor the D-9 was able to carry a variation of payloads, amongst them a
droptank or a bomb on an ETC 504 rack under the fuselage.
The first unit to convert to the Fw190D was II./JG 54 by October 1944.
When the Fw190D-9 finally entered service it was merely meant as a stop gap until the
new Ta152 reaches production status, ironically it turned into one of the major Fw190
variants overall with some 1804 examples being produced until war's end.

Fw190D-11

A new and improved engine Jumo 213 F was already undergoing test runs when the D-9
entered production. The 3 stage two gear Jumo 213F with a greatly improved critical
altitude was basically the same engine as the 213E which was scheduled for the Ta152H
excluding the intercooler. Like with the 213A, supercharger air was cooled by means of
methanol water injection. A small series of about 20 aircraft Fw190D-11 was produced
during February 1945 utilizing the Jumo 213F. The nose MG 131 were deleted from the
D-11 allowing for a more streamlined cowling. Instead a pair of MK 108 cannons was
mounted in the outer wings.

cowling. Also note the old style canaopy, probably being added to this particular machine during a repair.

Fw190D-12

Like D-11, but Mk 108 firing through the propeller hub, outer wing cannons deleted.
There's no reliable information available on this subtype so there is no depiction included.

Fw190D-13

Like D-11, but MG151/20 cannon firing through the propeller hub, no outer wing cannons.
There were supposedly only two test aircraft of the D-13 produced and delivered to
operational units. One of them was captured intact by the allied at Flensburg-Weiche
airfield in Northern Germany. “Yellow 10” was obviously the personal mount of the
Geschwader's last Kommodore Major Franz Götz as evidenced by the lettering
“Kommodore” under the radiator. The aircraft was selected for evaluation and ferried to
