Funny, me neither. I still have trouble reconciling the forward views of a plane like, for instance, our 51B vs the 109s. I know the 109s were small, and cramped cockpits et al, but I think we've got an issue with scale or head position or something. Forward visibility is horrific at best.


Actually I would think that because those cokpits were so small and cramped that would make looking out of that particular design actually easier

how much of that plane is origional? the forward glass doesnt appear to be as it looks like plexi glass glued in rather badly.

AFAIK 100% original. The windscreen was not that bad in 1940's it just tends to show its age like that.

  I  agree, on both comments, Views and FM , are porked!
also see no reason to have the 109 G10 pulled from the game in the MA, it was a neat plane .

I don't know why they would pull any plane that was already in, unless it was a version that didn't really exist.

i dont mind the views...could be better...but not so horrible.  Im typically a 38G driver as well, Ive learned to shoot blind a bit, so the 109s dont bug me much.  

I think Guppy posted here because this thread is in general discussion forum and he was stating his opinion...think that is permitted I think.

In terms of performance, AH2 109G-10 was always the 109K-4.

All 109s were updated, with the G-10 not representing any real 109, it received the graphical update to the K-4.

By the way, I also agree that the cockpit framing is excessively thick.

Yes, I do think it's 100% original... It was last flown in 1957, I don't think they scrapped it after that and then rebuilt it for the museum.
