[About Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-5 Würger]

Wikipedia
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 "Würger" was a German fighter aircraft during World War II.
It had an air-cooled engine, which was unusual for a German fighter.
It was designed by engineer Kurt Waldemar Tank and first flew in 1939.
It was initially developed as an auxiliary fighter for the mainstay Bf-109 fighter, but its superior performance made it a mainstay fighter alongside the Bf-109.
Because of its spacious design, it was used as a "warhorse" in a variety of applications, including night fighter and fighter-bomber types.

[About the work]
As far as I could find, I could not confirm the fact that the A-5 was equipped with rocket-propelled grenades. But it would be fun to use it, wouldn't it? If you don't need it, just press AG6 and dump it.
The cockpit is roughly reproduced.
I don't have Simple Planes VR, so I haven't verified it. Sorry

    @AntonWings Well, it is close enough, in my opinion, considering that the A5 and A6 are effectively identical.

    @JustLookingForFriends
    Thank you for your comment.
    Well...let me make a small correction.
    It is true that the "Sturmböcke" Fw-190 was equipped with rockets. But its subtype seems to be A-6 or A-8. I created the A-5, and the fact that the A-5 carried rocket bombs, I could not confirm. (Sorry if my perception is wrong).
    I am glad that you called my work a "real plane", but my perception is that this is "a bit false".
    But this is a game, and even if it's a little different, if it makes it more interesting, I think it's okay.

    Fun fact: this was a real plane! The Focke Wulf 190 'Sturmböcke' was a FW-190 with two rockets for use and anti bomber weapons.

    Thanks for the advice!
    I will try different things in SP to see how the flight characteristics change depending on the wing shape.

    Thanks for the advice! I will try to see what kind of flying model I can get with the wing shape as it is on the actual aircraft.
    Thanks. Your A-3 looks nice and realistic with the timing of the landing gear folding :)

    @AntonWings I suggest you just spend a bit of time learning how sp's physics work with aircraft
    stuff like aspect ratios, wing loading, the three centres etc
    it's helpfull stuff

    Try when your using blueprints to make the wing peices almost exactly the same size as they look in the blueprints, that will give you an accurate flight model. The plane itself is beautiful! Way better than mine visually lol

    Thank you!
    ...I always wonder how much maneuverability I should have in my aircraft.... I will look into it and try it out in the future.

    Good looking as always
    Just needs a nice flight model :)
    Also the bullets are massive - they should be smaller
    Much potential here!
