ME262.FLY - Messerschmitt Me 262 airplane file
HOW TO USE THE FILES:
The airplane in this file requires the use of Chuck Yeager's
Advanced Flight Trainer (formerly known as Advanced Flight Simulator)
from Electronic Arts. To use the plane, simply put it on the same
directory as AFT. AFT will find it and place it in the "planes" menu.
THE ME262:
------------------------------
Messerschmitt Me 262
Engine: 2 Junkers Jumo 004B single-shaft axial turbojets (1,980 lbs. static
thrust each
Wingspan: 40 ft., 11 1/2 in.
Length: 34ft., 9 1/2 in.
Maximum weight: 15,500 lbs.
Landing gear: retractable tricycle
Service ceiling: 37,565 ft.
Maximum speed: 540 mph
Crew: 1
This was the first jet airplane ever used in combat. It could have
won World War II for the Germans since it was first flown in 1941. However,
Hitler was not interested in it, and the first combat missions were flown in
1944, too late to make any difference.
COMMENTS:
If you create any new airplanes, please upload them so they can be
shared. I love to get new airplanes to use. The only things I used to
create my planes was a book with statisitcs on the plane, what I thought
the plane could do, and some guesswork. Please leave me comments on what you
think should be improved, anything you have discovered, or your opinion.
Your comments will encourage me to post more airplanes, stunts, and
airplane races in the future.
AFT keeps its airplane stats in small ASCII files called *.fly.
These files include number values for all of the flight characteristics of
the aircraft. Using these numbers, it is concieveably possible to simulate
any conventional aircraft! A complete description of how to program new
planes is avilable. The file is AFS747.ARC by Kirk Wagner.
If you have any comments or questions, I can be contaced at the
following address.
