Unit: 5./JG26
Pilot: unknown


The Fw 190D-9 combined the Fw 190A-8 fuselage and wings with the Jumo 213A-1 engine to create a higher altitude capable fighter than the A-8. The first production aircraft were completed at Focke-Wulf’s factory at Sorau in Silesia in late August 1944. Problems with engine meant that the second aircraft wasn’t completed until mid-September, but construction soon sped up. By the end of September production was underway at Focke-Wulf’s factory at Cottbus, and in October work began at Roland (WFG) at Nordenahm and Fieseler at Kassel. Junkers and Siebel produced parts, and Arado was also involved in the program. The total number produced is unclear, with at least 670 known and no records for December 1944 or February 1945 to the end of the war. 1,500 serial numbers are known to have been allocated to the D-9, but that doesn’t mean that all of these aircraft were completed.


The standard D-9 was armed with two 13mm MG 131 machine guns above the engine and two 20mm MG 151 cannon in the wing roots. It could carry an ETC 501 or ETC 504 stores carriers below the fuselage. This aircraft also was equipped with underwing R4M rocket racks.


The first D-9 unit, III./JG 54, began to convert to the type in September 1944, and by the end of October had 68 aircraft, of which only one had the MW 50 installed. However 53 had been given a new Junkers kit that increased the manifold pressure in the engine and boosted power from 1,750hp to around 1,870hp.


By the end of December 1944 there were 183 D-9s in service with three units (III./JG 54, II./JG 26 and III./JG 26), with some equipped with both the MW 50 and Junkers kits, some with one or the other and some without either. However new aircraft coming off the production line mainly had both.


Early in 1945 the D-9 was issued to JG 2, JG 3, JG 6, JG 51 and JG 301, although these units normally operated a mix of types. In service the D-9 was considered to be as good as its main opponents, in particular the Merlin powered P-51 Mustangs and the Griffon powered Spitfire Mk.XIV. It handled better than the Fw 190A, was faster and climbed quicker. It could out-turn most Soviet fighters at the normal combat levels, and was quicker in the dive than the Yak-3 or Yak-9.


It was a very good fighter for that time but was too little too late to have any effect on the course of the war.

Captain Kurt developed the model from the old Pstrany Dora model - with permission - as a starting framework and updated the shape, and added multiple details, new parts, new VC, and animations. The original Pstrany airfiles, and Dora weapons models for the drop tanks, weapons, and racks are still used as is the Jumo sound package (included)


Captain Kurt also created the camouflage paint, and the 2D instrument panel.

A few Ta 152 tail surfaces found their way to some Doras apparently through a lack of standard units. These were assembled by subcontractors, and delivered near final assembly. It is very likely it was due to problems in logistics control.

Merry Christmas. Hope you all enjoy.

[Ludo]

Just before going to bed, talk about a really nice Christmas gift. Thank you Captain and Team Daedalus

[Browncoat]

WOW! Merry Christmas indeed! And one with a Ta-152 tail! Thank you!

Now I don’t mean to be greedy (but I will be greedy). Any plans for a D-11, D-12 and D-13?

[Ludo]

To me being greedy would be to ask for a Ta-152 as we only miss everything but the tail

Still I'm just stunned by the quality of these planes, hard to believe what you can achieve with a 20+ years old game.

[Worthless]

Great! Your latest is much appreciated. Merry Christmas.

[skylane]

Kurt and Team, thank you very much for this great Christmas present!

[kdriver]

Merry Christmas Kurt and team - thanks very much for these wonderful presents.

Hi Folks, I didn't think Christmas could get any better after The Martlets ----Hell was I wrong .
Thanks to Team Daedalus for the wonderful FW-190D9.

Thank you Thank you for delivering my favourite German WWII Aircraft .


Regards,

Just Keep on doing what your doing!!!

[Browncoat]

I finally got around to taking these Doras out for a spin (as well at the recent 109 Konrads) and what a treat! Yellow 6 is a favorite of mine out of your collection. I do have a observation/question, when setting power, I find that I have to reduce my throttle to 64% to get the ATA needle to even budge off the full reading. Is this correct? When I'm trying to set throttle for cruise, I'm looking at aiming for 1.1 to 1.2 ATA, but to get that I have to reduce my throttle to 38 - 40%. The prop appears to respond much better (or at least what I expect with which I move my propeller control).

[Captain Kurt]

Browncoat, that does not surprise me especially. The available gauges for CFS2 is pretty limited, and no one is designing any new ones in the old C++ language. That means we have to make do with whatever we can cobble together for the panels.
In this case the boost gauge is from the FSD He111. At least it's for a Jumo engine which isn't always the case. But it's not the same engine so the gauge won't read exactly right.

[Browncoat]

Hi Capt,

I see what you mean. Thank you for the explanation. I wonder how the TD Doras compare to the VW Doras as far as their airfile structure. The reason I am curious is that when I flew the VW Dora, the ATA topped out at full power at around 1.4 ATA, and boosts with WEP (really it would have been MW50/GM-1) to 1.6-1.8 ATA.

When I plant the VW_fw190a!Boost_Pressure gauge in place of the FDS He-111 boost gauge, the settings become far more...predictable. Though I will admit, the VW Dora boost gauge doesn't match what I think I see in the USAAF's Fw-190D-9, which appears to show boost markings for up to 2.5 ATA.

https://media.defense.gov/2006/Nov/1...-1234P-001.JPG

This is certainly a point where I wish I knew how to code.

These look awesome as always!!! Thank you!!!

[bearcat241]

Well done!!! ...

Finally took the time to get 'em all installed and flight tested. Added a lower panel to the setup in order to have the option of lower panel gauges showing in 2D view as they do in 3D mode.
