Fw190A-5s

SOH-CM-2025
I thought that I had done a post on this but it must have been in PMs and emails. I need Fw190A-5 specifically for the Schweinfurt Regensburg missions. Now, besides the stock fw_190a_5, I have only found 2 which might represent improvements on that.

So I don't really know what this 190A-5 is based on. Ted did an air files improvement on the stock model, but that has yet to be found; for all I know it's already the one used in the ETO version.

Anyone know of other improvements and whichof the 2 versions above might be better? BTW the cannon on the 3gr model have the "sqaures" effects issue, while the ETO one is OK.
 
To my knowledge, there is no improved 3D model for this variant in existence for CFS3.

I guess then I will go along with the 3gr version but Ted's air and cfg files. and hope for the best! The gun section from the ETO version as they don't have the 'square' tracers.
 
On advice, or suggestions, from John and Dan, I'm giving up with the A-5 and moving back to the SJE A-4L. I'll leave out the AA versions in case many might not be au fait with them.
