FSX/P3D Messerschmitt Bf109G-2. The Bf 109 G "Gustav" series-frame was the most mass-produced variant of the 109, powered by the Daimler-Benz DB 605A. The 605 was basically a DB 601 with the cylinder block redesigned to increase displacement from 33.9, to 35.7 liters (~3 liters cubic capacity!) - which resulted in 175 extra HP with no significant change in size. However, the increased equipment led to heavier weight on the Gustav, in fact 10% heavier than the Friedrich. Compared to the much earlier Bf 109B, the Gustav was almost 46% heavier. The new aircraft had begun to reach front-line units by May 1942. With the 'Gustav', the Bf109 design had reached its peak. FSX/P3D native Gmax model by A.F. Scrub.
