I leave it on fs.to only for archives / reference, the most important issues (like the lack of supercharger) have been fixed on the official release anyway.

I'll see when FS2024  is out if a mod is still justified (I hope not :).

Thanks to anyone who enjoyed this mod and gave positive feedback.

Junkers Ju-52 Mod (Stage 1)

The Microsoft Junkers Ju-52, built by Oliver Moser, is a very affordable plane with some great qualities, however it feels quite "unfinished", as if the developer had been rushed to release then denied the budget to spend more time on it to fix the problems (such a thing wouldn't happen, would it ? Naaaah).

This mod improves the 1939, float and ski versions only, not the "retrofit".

• If a previous version of the mod was installed, delete it.
• Unzip the file into your Community folder.

• Manifold pressure can now go up to 1.3 ATA (39 in.Hg) thanks to the supercharger ; critical altitude is 2600m (8500 ft). 

• Lift & drag adjusted : the plane is a little less eager to jump off the ground at takeoff.
• Lift & drag adjusted : the plane is less "floaty" on approach.
• Incrased elevator trim efficiency ; you should now be able to trim for level flight on two engines, or at a low power setting.

• No more blinding landing lights reflecting in the propeller.
• No more visual movement of the elevator when the elevator trim is used (in the Ju-52, the elevator trim moves the horizontal plan in front of the elevators. Alas it is not animated).
• Small texture corrections for the cockpit ; I didn't make these but don't remember where I got them from. Contact me if you did them and I will credit you.
• Unshaded the cockpit glass.
• Fixed: the flaps indicator needle is now backlighted, like the elevator trim needle.
• Fixed the glareshield lighting potentiometer tooltip.
• The radio frequency backlighting now stops when the battery is off. 

See the included readme.txt file for advice on how to fly the modded Ju-52.
