Did wartime FW-190A-3 to A-8's engines evolve?

Im sure 190A-9 had different radial engine but im not sure whatever happened to 190s A-3,4,5,6,7,8 when it comes to engine development.  The sources i've read so far indicates 190s A3 to A8 usedd BMW 801D...

I'm pretty sure Crummp has covered this subject - try a search for his posts in Fw 190 engine related threads. :)

Like most engines, they got tuned up to the limit. Crumpp has about the best data you can find within this forum and maybe he'll save some searching and provide a link. ?

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

It is kind of scattered all over the forums Angus.

I am in the middle of writing an article on the development of the BMW801 series.  When I finish I will post a few highlights here.

All the best,
