3 Questions.
1. What versions are included?
2. What aircraft was used to record engine sounds from?
3. What flight manuals were used for data? I've been trying for years to find flight manuals for the Fw 190 with no luck.
It's absolutely fantastic to see a professionally made 190 available for FS.

COOL Very happy to see a new WOP plane
From the pictures it looks like there is a variety of payloads, could you say what payloads it will come with. Also when will there be a movie showing the aircrft in flight, engine start up sounds, cockpit etc. Along the lines of what JacDan asked, how many skins will it have and how many will it have per version(s).
A very nice surprise, it should go very well with Mustang

Just checked Shockwaves main page and it said that the cockpit is from a 190A-5

Sorry about that - the "for immediate release" is something that goes on top of the press release so people know they can post it. We won't make that mistake again.
Here is more information at the web store. It's not in the store yet, but there is a lot of good stuff on this page that we've put into the manual.

My wife just mentioned that I used to look at her the way I was looking at the FW images. I reassured whats-her-name not to be rediculous, we've been happily married for 30 years.Scott - Shockwave wrote:It will be out any day now.
Fortunately for me we have been quite happily married so when I announced my intention to buy a plane she just chuckled and asked if it was from "those Shockwave folks". I think she's getting suspicious.
Great work folks. I'm looking forward to it.
