Take off Procedure:

1. Turn on the engine: " i ".
2. Deploy your take off flaps, press " ] " twice.
3. Full throttle to 100%. Press "W" until the engine power goes to 100%.
4. Use your rudder controls to center the aircraft on the runway. "Q" left rudder, and "E" right rudder.
5. When you reach about 190 to 220 kph or 118 mph to 136 mph pull up on your stick. Make sure, your aircraft is center, or you will tip over and crash when you take off.
6. Pull your landing gear up, "G", and raise your flaps, press " [ " two times.

Landing procedure:

1. If you are going too fast, you can circle around the airfield. As you do this, reduce your speed to about 30 to 50%, and go look at the airfield from the side. Deploy your landing flaps (Press " ] " 3 times to get the speed down some more.
2. Turn your aircraft around to center it to the airfield, and deploy your landing gear "G". Get your speed down to 200 kph or less.
3. Make your aircraft parallel to the runway, and touch down.
4. When you touch down, pull down on the stick, so your nose is facing up.
5. Use your breaks by pressing down on "S". Do it little by little and pull on the stick as you slow down. If you don't pull up on the stick or break too fast, the front of your airplane will hit the runway. This is so because the front of piston engine aircraft is heavier than the back. You have to compensate for it by breaking gradually, and pointing the nose of your aircraft up.
5. After you stop, turn off the engine " i ".

The FW-190A5 is a heavy fighter, and doesn't turn really well. It doesn't have good speed either, but this fighter does have good firepower. The FW-190A5 packs 2 7.92x57mm machine guns, and 2 20mm cannons. The 20mms and machine guns have lots of ammunition, so it can do a lot of damage to bombers and frontal attacks against fighters.

I am not really a fan of this aircraft, because I prefer faster, lighter, and more nimble aircraft. I prefer the Bf-109 series when it comes to dogfights. The air cooled radial engine on the FW-190A5 will result in disappointing performance at higher altitudes. At lower altitudes of under 5000 feet, the FW-190 is a better performer. The engine on this model isn't very good, and the larger diameter of the aircraft creates a lot of drag which makes it slow.

The FW-190A5 weighs a lot, and it doesn't climb well either. Overall, the aircraft has a lot of potential when you upgrade it. You can make it faster by adding a new engine, fuel injection system, smoothing out the surfaces, and adding 2 30mm gunpods.

Overall, the FW-190A5 is a rugged and well built aircraft, it is well armored, good speed, has excellent fire power, poor maneuverability, the flight characteristics aren't very forgiving(tight turns could result in stalls), and easy to land due to excellent landing gears.
