Me 262 Cockpit
As most readers know, Paul J. Allen's Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum (FHCAM) has the finest collection of vintage military aircraft and weapons in the world. One of their most important examples is Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe wk.nr.500453, which has undergone long and painstaking restorations on two different continents over the last decade. Restoration updates are rare, of course, as museums generally prefer to keep details private until major milestones are closer to reality. And the same goes for the Me 262. The airframe was manufactured by JME Aviation Ltd in the UK in 2007. The San began its restoration process, and it is here that most of the wing and fuselage structural repairs were carried out. When JME Aviation closed its doors in 2010, the project moved to Gosshawk Unlimited in Casa Grande, Arizona, and then to Morgan Aircraft Ltd. in Arlington, Washington State.

The latest view is in the cockpit of the Me 262. The aircraft was one of a number recovered by Watson's visors from a German airfield in the last days of World War II and sent to the US for evaluation on HMS Reaper. After the military joined him, Howard Hughes acquired an airframe, eventually transferring it to the Cal Aero Technical Institute. The legendary Ed Maloney saved the airframe from being crushed in 1955, and he was on display at the Fame Air Museum until he was sold to the New Flying Heritage Collection in 2000.

While restoring the 262's airframe was certainly a challenge, the project's Achilles cure has always been the ability to locate and recover a pair of original Junker Jumo 004B jet engines to power it. We must remember that the jet engine was still in its infancy during World War II. The technology, while advanced for its time, was unbelievably crude by modern standards. In addition, the German supply chain for materials with metallurgical properties suitable for jet engines also came under great stress during their production in 1944/45. As a result, German jet engines had very short periods between major overhauls, reportedly only 10 to 25 hours of operation, meaning it was rare for the core engines to be rebuilt. Restoring and certifying the original Jomo 004 engine to airworthy condition is extremely complicated, not to mention expensive. But given Paul Allen's dedication to the project, those obstacles have also been overcome. Aero Turbine in Stockton, California is the company tasked with renovating the Me 262 Jimus. They first flew in February 2015, possibly the first time the Jumo 004 variant has produced power since 1951 when Czechoslovakia retired the Avia S-92 (Czech-built Me 262). The first fully certified Jumo 004Bs arrived to be installed at Morgan Aircraft about two months ago, and are now mounted on the right wing of the 262.
In recent discussions with FHCAM officials, we learned that the second machine is scheduled to arrive in late September/early October. After the engine has been installed and inspected, the taxi test will begin. If all goes well, Moon 262's first flight will be this winter, and possibly in late December! The legendary Steve Hinton will make the first test flight, which will take place over Lake Moses, Washington. In additional news, the Me-262 has now been fully painted, although the identity of the livery will not be officially revealed until the aircraft's launch. Watch this space!

Pato's Fw190d9 Cockpit Mod With Reworked Instruments
Of all the supersonic interceptors that appeared during the 1950s, it is doubtful that any were more charismatic, or more futuristic-looking, than the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. It is simply very beautiful [...]
F7U Cutlass Now Aboard the USS Midway by Adam Estes In late 2022, an extremely rare early naval fighter jet is aboard the former US Navy aircraft carrier, USS Midway, in the latest 1CGS Diary developer [...]. The update brings with it several new screenshots showing the cockpit of the Me262, a new crew being added to the M4A2, and new visual effects for the tank crew that will eventually spill over to the rest of the series.
We've been treated to this week with two beautiful new screenshots from Me262. These fighter-bomber interceptors and interceptors were the world's first operational fighter jets. Re-creating this part of aviation history has been a months-long process for 1CGS with a great deal of care and focus put into its flight models and jet engines. We've seen the exterior in the Developer Diaries before and now we can see the interior.
The interior of the 262 is actually attractive in terms of its simplicity. Though advanced in flight as far as engines were concerned, the 262's cockpit didn't look any more complicated than the Bf109's, with a neatly tailored design. Recreating the jet in IL-2: The Battle of Bodenplatte connects us to this unique slice of history.
Messerschmitt Me 262 A 1
The M4A2 Sherman is now available in Tank Crew with early access for players. The one thing the Sherman still lacks is a crew, but 1CGS now adds them to the tank (literally putting the crew inside the tank) giving it the closest American tank dynamic crew member to operate this tank.
Also coming to Tank Crew are new particle-based effects that let teams add some interesting features like fire and smoke in the cabin. I'll let Han tell this part of the story:
And another screenshot shows the new particle-based effects technology in the cockpit in first-person view. At the first stage, we introduced these systems for tanks (fire effect from spilled fuel, fire suppression effect, smoke when the engine is not running, powder gases when fired from cannons and machine guns). In the medium term, we plan to use this technology for aircraft as well: Han at 1CGS Developer Diary #2
The Tank Crew 1CGS once again brings the cross-pollination technology with smoke and fire effects to the Tank Crew which finally enters the series aircraft. I suspect the smoke in the cockpit is just one of many possible effects the team could offer. Would the pattern of distillate oil spills be any different? I believe.
Me 262 B 1a
This update also includes future updates and some key features. Battlefield Marshall is now under development and according to updates, it is almost complete. This feature will give multiplayer servers the opportunity to play the role of a team commander who can direct combat both on the ground and in the air.
The Me262 is expected to arrive around May along with two circus airplanes (Albatross D.Va and S.E.5.a) and two new tanks for tank crews (possibly T-34 Model 1943 and PzKpfw IV Ausf.G).
The Arra map is also expected to be featured soon with the progress on this map by Ugra Media.
Attention would then turn to the three critical Allied aircraft – the P-51D-15, P-38J-25, and the Tempest Mark V (Series II). Also let's not forget that 1CGS AI plans to augment (for now) the B-25D Mitchells seen operating with the RAF in Western Europe during this time.
Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe
We know that the Mustang is scheduled to arrive in June or July, although we also know that plans sometimes change. Maybe the Mustang launched alongside other Allied fighters? This is most likely as we enter the home turf for Bodenplatte over the next few months. Can you tell I'm excited? Look out for some important updates over the coming weeks and months!
