This week we are going to go back in time a little further. The Me-109K-4 is one of a number of WWII aircraft available in DCS World. The Kurfürst was the last production model of the iconic German fighter. With continued improvements ongoing such as the cockpit and damage model, this module continues to be one of the most enjoyable aircraft in the sim to fly.
The Me-109K-4 has been out for some time, and has amassed a number of tutorials over the years.
To get started, the Grim Reapers walk you through control assignments:
