History: In early 1944, the Luftwaffe requested a new fighter to replace the aging A variants of the FW-190. Focke-Wulf immediately got to work and within a month built a wooden mock-up of the new fighter. The Luftwaffe high command then decided that they did not need such a fighter, and the project was suspended until January of 1945. The project was then reimbursed the program, but by then it was too late. The only flight ever made by the FW-610A ended with the aircraft going missing somewhere over Germany (it was on a day where there were no Allied bombing raids). The radio cut out and neither the pilot nor the plane were ever seen again (however, a few months later they found the parachute belonging to the pilot hanging from a tree in northern Germany).

    Oh gotcha! That's pretty cool! I just started using PC for slight adjustments not too long ago. My first plane I used PC on was my X-lite Sport. I love seeing what other iOS users can do! Only a few of us are platinum, which is pretty neat! Lol@DestinyAviation

    I was asking Destiny. I usually prefer to test the flight characteristics using the controls on my iPhone (more comfy for me) instead of WASD on PC@SimpleFlow

    How did you nudge iOS? Or do you flight test and upload iOS like me?
