DCS Fw-190D-9 to give away

[Noj]

I have an Fw-190D which is surplus to requirement and I'd like to offer it to someone in the community. I'd prefer if it went to someone who doesn't already have one and will actually fly it themselves - leave that up to your honesty :)

 

First person to correctly identify the aircraft in the screenshot below gets it.

 

I want the exact name of the aircraft, but you don't need the exact version.

 

I thought it would be too easy with anything other than a six o'clock shot - but if no-one gets it (unlikely) then I'll post one of a frontal view.

[Noj]

Nah, you're not the first to think that - but try a little later than that. It wasn't famous, either - in fact, I'd never heard of it myself until this appeared about a year ago for FSX (and that's another clue).

 

Btw - it's the 190 I'm giving away - just to be clear - not the 109.

 

Cheers

 

PS - as it's not so easy, I'd be happy for you to have 2 guesses ;)

Another clue - it served in the British campaign in Malaya and this particular version had a two-man crew (earlier models had just the pilot).

 

Should be a lot easier now.

Bristol Blenheim

Thanks for entering - no, not a Blenhiem.

 

This version is the Royal Navy, carrier-borne one. It used two Merlins and was made of wood - just like the Mossie.

[Noj]

I'm taking the mutt for a walk - when I get back, if no-one has guessed it, I'll post the front view.

 

Good luck!

Edit: It also looks like it got an landing hook which means it can or may be a 'sea' version :)

It wouldn't happen to be a Short Sturgeon, would it?

It has the looks, it is carrier-borne... so maybe? :p

Thanks to all who entered and lots of fun flying the Dora, Roadrunner :)

 

Comiserations to the two guys who said "Hornet", but Roadrunner got the exact model and even the variant - so a worthy winner!

[Mowgli]

congrats to the winner. Thanks for the giveaway Noj:thumbup:

[Noj]

Hi Roadrunner - that's good of you.

 

I just sent you the code - it's up to you what you do with it, but I did also get entries via pm, and the first to guess at "Hornet" was someone else ;) (although I see he has edited his post to say it's the Sea variant - up to you, mate!)

 

Thanks, guys - I just knew I wasn't going to fly it and why leave it sat unused on my hard drive?

Watch time of edit then.. I wont tell who to be right, I'd say its up to the OP to decide!

 

Edit: I must say that it really looked like a propeller variant of the sea meteor lol xD

[Mithrandir]

Alright then. Thanks for the contest and congratulations to the winner!

[Roadrunner]

ok gents, as i canot see the mentioned PM's, i cannot identify if or who was the first.

 

i want to appologice for taking part here anyway :(

 

i decided to give the code to the Virtual Aerobatics team for their next competition and with that thank them for running a server i and alot others enjoyd for some time.

 

so the key will be available to someone lucky in the future.
