Messerschmitt "Amerika" ME-264 Review

Featured Replies

I was browsing recently uploaded aircraft and saw this beauty (http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=179037&CatID=fsxac) from Thomas Ruth. Ruth has created many memorable aircraft including civil aircraft like the A330/A340, and also airports like EDDL Dusseldorf. I haven't been making reviews recently for a whole slew of reasons - studies, computer re-arrangement, and real world obligations. I'm going to say for now to expect reviews every 2 weeks or so. Let's start the review, shall we?

 

Installation:

Installation is quite simple. 
Extract the files, move this there and that here, and start the sim!

 

Exterior Model:

I have to be honest here, military aircraft aren't my thing. I'm much more a fan of civil aviation, so begin to expect that as my primary choice. This aircraft however, while just a prototype looks beautiful. The four-engines look absolutely scary. The wingspan is easily 3/2 that of the aircraft.

^Highlighting the cockpit, gear, and once again, the engines.

 

Virtual Cockpit:

The cockpit looks extremely simple and gives you the feel for the average German WW2 fighter would be like.

^It actually looks very nice in there.

Flying:

^Gear up over my hideous default scenery.^

^My personal favorite view of any aircraft really.^

Conclusion:

If you want a WW2-era German prototype long-range bomber [i know you're out there] then you should get this aircraft. It's really fun to fly and feels genuinely heavy as it would in the real world.

 

P.S.

Sorry if this is a 'lite' review, it kind-of is. I didn't have very much time today to work on this, and I knew I needed to get a review out!

 

~See you all in a few weeks with my next review!

Thanks for this review of a very interesting & unusual aircraft. I do love the unusual as well as the 'low 'n slows'. I always appreciate the time people have taken to do reviews. So sad that no-one comments or says thanks!.

I was quite surprised after the wide success of my Project Airbus A380 honestly, thanks though!
