Cool!!! Thanks for sharing. Good to know some of the old birds still have life.

aaah lovely! I managed to see the French FW190 here in Europe before it ditched in the Channel, let's hope they'll take it back to the sky soon!

Yeah, but this one is real, not a replica, fitted with a genuine BMW, what a sound !!!

...uuuh I just did a trousers shame LOL
It's surprising to see how much oil it burns though, I thought it was just a Chinese/Russian crap engine thing.

nice vids ty!
btw, why doesn't this plane turn due to torgue (second vid) when being stationary like the ones we have in game. and why is it so controllable even on low speeds??
or is the ground handling in COD very unrealistic or am I just a bad pilot?

In the preface of the excellent Docavia book on the 190, Kurt Tank explains that he conceived the 190 as an easy aircraft to fly for the less trained pilotes who would come to the squadrons, if the war lasted.

the one you refer to is a bug that has already been reported.

The third vid. That is one slippery aircraft. Why did they keep upgrading the 109 again?

cheaper to produce, easier to maintain.. Many pilots (Galland included) who came from the 109 school weren't too impressed with the different characteristics of the 190. I don't think one is better than the other, the FW190 proved more versatile in the long run, but the 109 always had the edge in terms of manouverability.
