The team at iniBuilds took to theirย various social media platformsย to announce the release of their Messerschmittย Bf-108 Taifun rendition for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This rendition becomes iniBuildsโ second classic aircraft offering (after the Curtiss P-40 WarHawk).
This product brings flight simmers back to the 40s, when the aircraft was mainly used on liaison and personal transport missions. This rendition features an Argus As10 engine, modelled using actual performance data and features authentic sounds, allowing for an immersive experience.
Furthermore, the rendition features an interactive EFB system, allowing simmers to change many parameters. These include switchable metric and imperial gauges, switchable English and German labels and many others.
Additionally, the developer included the ability to fold the wings just like in the real aircraft. Finally, the developers accurately tuned the performance figures to mimic the STOL capabilities of the Taifun. This makes the Bf-108 ideal to any simmers seeking to visit areas with short airstrips.

iniBuilds’ Bf-108 Taifun rendition can be purchased from the iniBuilds Store for โฌ16.95.
The Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun is a single-engined sport and touring aircraft, making its maiden flight in 1934. The Bf-108 flew in various areas of the globe, ranging from France to Japan. The Bf-108 adopted the โTaifunโ nickname, initially given as a name to German pilot Elly Beinhornโs Bf-108A, who flew the aircraft from Berlin to Constantinople (now Istanbul) in under a day. This impressive accomplishment prompted Messerschmitt to keep the name for the aircraft type.
