Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8

Nicknamed “The Butcher Bird”, the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a German single seat, single engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1930’s. Where the Supermarine Spitfire and Messerschmidt Bf-109 were thoroughbred race horses, the Fw 190 was a tough and dependible war horse. Powered by the BMW 801, 14 cylinder radial engine, the FW 190 was completely unknown to the allies until it shot down two Spitfires during the Battle of Brittain. Initially believed to be captured French aircraft, the RAF were caught completely off guard by the butcher birds entrance into the war. the Fw 190 was superior to the Spitfire and Hurricane in most ways, particularly at low to medium altitudes. The Fw 190 was arguably the most heavily armed fighter of WWII, with 4x20mm cannons and 2 x13mm machine guns. Capable of taking down a B-17 in only a few shots, the Fw 190 was a significant threat to allied bombers. By the end of the war, the Fw 190 was outclassed by several allied fighters, however the admiration from allied air crews was well earned. Flown by two of the top five Luftwaffe aces, the Fw 190 was a well rounded adversary.

Im experimenting with throttle mapping to accurately depict supercharger performance. The Fw 190 will reach full performance between 10,000 - 21,000ft. Power drops off significantly above 21,000ft. If you notice any issues with the power mapping, please let me know as this is something i want to impliment in future aircraft
