This airplane (RC-YZ) was used by Luftwaffe (Luftflotte 4) in Balkans, Crete and Eastern front. The repaint presents of the plane in July 1941 after the belly landing done by Gefr. Brunsmann near Sokolovon (Today's Czech territory). The aircraft was painted in RLM65/70/71. Link: https://flightsim.to/file/53197/bf-108-taifun-luftwaffe-rc-yz

Its out. 4K textures (fuselage number 44-2) for the model of Messerschmitt Bf-108 "Taifun" done by iniBuilds for MSFS. The skin has few improvements as well like: historical markings, redefining colors, more weathering effects, stickers and new colours of interior and more. Model has a few limitation so I adjusted the repaint to the requirements of the model. This skin is a bit cleaner than the previous one (D-IHDD, I had some requests for it), but it's more tired and the plane itself wasn't treated kindly enough. This airplane (44-2) was used by Legion Condor, Spain. The repaint presents of the plane in 1939 (based on a photo taken in Seville). The aircraft was painted in RLM63/65 livery and had a custom roundel marking on the fuselage. Btw. The presentation of historical markings is only informative and consistent with historical sources (like all models or historical photos), it's of course not intended to propagation any ideology. Fly with classic cockpit only! Regards. https://flightsim.to/file/52866/bf-108-taifun-legion-condor-44-2

I thik this state about rela Bf-108 is very clear: "Because the 108 designers around Willy Messerschmitt took over the automatic slat from Handley-Page (Lachmann). And from a speed of 130 km/h, these begin to leave their position on the leading edge of the wing and stretch forward. This is done with such precision and predictability that the narrow surfaces not only function as a buoyancy aid, but also as a replacement for the airspeed indicator." But apart from that, the big problem is simply that they don't hide at all. Request from my side: if they are retracting give me the rate of descent or ascent and airspeed when the slats are fully retracted and are on 100% the wing line, I will reproduce this in my MSFS. Unfortunately, I never noticed that the slats were hidden, they always stick out, this is general problem here for me :).

Why we can have too very short time for edit 😕 here. The model: speed .... 250 km/h, straight flight, AoA=0: Impossible to have slats in this postion IRL, so this part is buggy. They should be on the wingline above 130 km/h for example as it was above.

At around 130 km/h, the Handley Page slats retract automatically without making a noise and without any noticeable change in flight behavior due to the air pressure. The control is well harmonized and direct in response https://www.manualslib.de/manual/158270/Bayerische-Flugzeugwerke-Bf-108-B.html?page=8 Manual of Nord 1002: So pls fix it, above those speed they should be closed, not like now.

It turns out that no one is right, the slats are unfortunately badly made in the model in the whole line. Bf-108 uses Handley-Page (Lachmann) type of slats so they dont work like in most airplane! Slats in Bf-108 are ALWAYS closed over 130 km/h, below are just beginning to open. In this case, they do not depend on AoA (strange but its true), but on the speed of the aircraft and even act as a speed indicator. Exactly at 130 km / h they open only, before they have to be on the wing line. You can use translate Google: https://www.flugrevue.de/klassiker/die-aelteste-fliegende-taifun-bf-108-taifun-in-traditionsfarben/ This means that in every screenshot I've made, they should just be closed, and they didn't.

Guys, after near one month of flying - I never noticed that slats can be closed. It's a really simple design, with increasing AoA they open, otherwise they are closed, especially in dive. They've never been closed here. I think it's worth improving. Something is wrong with the animation or code. Pls to add for list of issues.

I remember it however I can always ask again 😅. Thx.

Yes, as I wrote, it's ok the tablet you have 2 places for this. My foul. Im still thinking taht will be better to do with parking brake like this: 1/ on = shortkey for parking brake on (LShift+B) = chocks appears and invisble parking brake is starting to hold the plane. 2/ off = 3D model of chocks dissapears, the plane is free. The logic is basically simple and no issue to create this coding. 😉 Its possible and we have it in few addons for MSFS.

Good news, finally I found the reason. I had conflict with this key "Z" or Alt/Shift with "Z". I used this shortcut for Sky4Sim map (as next page), so during the flight sometimes I activated autopilot without knowing. I removed "Z" from MSFS settings. Will see however I think now will be ok. Id like to share my experience about it here.

Right! It works!

Still no chocks for me in 1.0.2 and SU12: Any user can check it also?

Yes for sure, on/off few times (SU12). Engine was cold too. I'll check it again. Maybe the restart of the sim will bring something new. Thx.

Guys, in 1.0.2 chocks dont work (from tablet), with V or X I dont see it. Can you check it too?
