X-Plane 9.22 Junkers Ju.52/3mg5e. This Luftwaffe Junkers Ju.52/3m g5e served in the Balkans with 2 Staffel, I KGzbV, in early 1941. This version was an improvement upon the Junkers Ju 52/3m g4e. It had more comprehensive radio equipment, a de-icing system that used the exhaust, provision for an interchangeable wheel ski or float landing gear, and an uprated powerplant: three BMW 132T-2 radials, rated at 830 hp (619 kW). Number built: unknown out of a total of 5415 in 15 versions. This plane is fully animated: cockpit, landing gear, surface controls and fuselage doors. The BMW 132T-2 radial and the MG131 mg in the dorsal position have been totally reproduced as a 3D obj. By Paolo Matricardi. Sounds by Chris Wraight.
