The Messer. The Knife.

A true master of the skies; feared by her opponents and respected by all. The Bf 109G-6 represents the pinnacle of German aviation and holds its place in history as one of the deadliest & most fearsome fighters ever made. Holding the record for the most produced fighter aircraft of all time, the Bf 109 made up 47% of German aircraft production during WWII and scored more aerial victories than any other aircraft of the war.

Step into the cockpit of this historical masterpiece; recreated with our most detailed & authentic simulation effort yet. Thousands of man hours have been poured into the project by our team, with new simulation techniques developed in-house to truly capture the unique characteristics of this beautiful aircraft.

Features

  • Lovingly detailed, AAA quality 3D Artwork with 10 liveries included.
  • Immersive Wwise Soundscape; including our most detailed engine sound capture yet – hear the unique scream of the Daimler-Benz DB 605A from all angles with not one, but FOUR unique engine captures (3 external + cockpit). Buzz the tower with the brilliant FlyingIron Flyby sound technology.
  • Incredibly authentic Flight Modelling – we have been collaborating for almost a year with 109 pilots, DB 605A experts & technicians to develop a truly realistic model of the airframe & engine flight dynamics. The flight & engine models have been exhaustively tested by a team of experts to validate flight performance & behaviours. The flight model includes multiple custom-coded additions to extend realism beyond what’s possible in the base simulator.
  • Extensive, faithful recreation of the Bf 109’s multiple systems – powered by our custom codebase to ensure each aspect of system simulation is faithfully recreated & futureproof against Sim updates. This includes extensive modelling of fuel & hydraulic systems, emergency systems and much more. Even the J30BZ Chronograph is simulated!
  • Detailed modelling of the DB 605A-1 V-12 engine – we have made exhaustive efforts to recreate every facet of this beautiful engine. Our engine model uses custom thermodynamics & engine physics developed in-house over several years and refined for the Bf 109. Oil temperature, pressure & viscosity are among the many features accurately simulated – which means that failures are possible too!
  • All-new electrical modelling captures every detail in the electrical system, down to the smallest bulb. Electrical failures & circuit breakers are present and fully functional.
  • Custom ground handling physics & landing gear models developed for the 109 to capture the unique ground handling & landing gear system. The landing gear can be damaged & collapsed; be sure to watch those landings and read up on emergency procedures!
  • Beautiful UV cockpit lighting - each light individually designed and each casting real ambient light for a breathtaking night flight experience.
  • Experience true immersion with dynamic cockpit vibrations, animated fuel line bubbles, a functional gunsight and much more!
  • Full integration of the FlyingIron Pilot’s Tablet – which includes UX features such as Autopilot, various aircraft options, realism settings, data monitoring, weight & balance page and much more. All tablet settings are saved & persistent, so you can set & forget!

The Bf 109 G-6 is single-engine, single-seat, multi-role combat aircraft developed and produced by German aviation manufacturer Messerschmitt. The Bf 109 series of aircraft was the second most produced combat aircraft in history (and the third most produced aircraft overall), with 34,852 manufactured. The aircraft became famous due to its importance to the Luftwaffe during World War II; it was one of the mainstays of their airpower capability. Initially designed as an interceptor, the Bf 109 performed a number of combat roles in addition to air to interceptor and air superiority, including armed reconnaissance, light bombing, attack, and night fighter, among others.

The prototype of the Bf 109 took its maiden flight on May 29, 1935 and the first production model entered service in February of 1937. It first saw combat in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War, and the aircraft remained operational throughout the entirety of World War II. A number of aces flew the Bf 109, including Erich Hartmann, the most successful aerial dogfighter in history, who downed 352 aircraft in the Bf 109.

As World War II progressed, Allied advances in bomber defenses and air escort aircraft forced the Germans to incrementally improve the Bf 109. The G model, called ‘Gustav’ by its pilots, was the most produced of the Bf 109 family, with 21,000 units built. Of the G model, the the G-6 variant accounted for over 12,000 aircraft, more than any other specific iteration of the airframe. The G-6 was nicknamed Die Buele (“The Bump”) due to bulge in the model’s engine cowling to accommodate the 13mm machine guns with which it was armed.

The Bf 109 G-6 measures 29 feet, 4 inches in length, has a wingspan of 32 feet, 7 inches, and stands 8 feet, 6 inches tall. It features a fuselage with all-metal monocoque construction, a standard undercarriage with retractable main landing gear, and a traditional tail unit. The Bf 109 G-6 is powered by a Daimler-Benz DB 605A-1 inverted V-12 piston engine that delivers 1,455 horsepower to a 3-blade constant-speed allow propeller. The aircraft has a range of up to 711 miles, a service ceiling of 39,000 feet above sea level, and it climbs at 3,960 feet per minute. The Bf 109 G-6 cruises at 370 miles per hour and has a top speed of 320 mph at sea level and 386 at 26,000 feet.
