INSTALLATION Unzip and place in your mods, #SAS or #DBW folder, depending on your install.
Add these lines to your air.ini:
Ju-88G-6 air.JU_88G6 2 g01 SUMMERIt is recommended to also add these lines to your weapons_ru.properties:
#####################################################################
# Ju-88G-6
#####################################################################
Ju-88G-6.default 4xMG151 + 2xMG151 SM
Ju-88G-6.Tracers as above, w/Tracer ammo
Ju-88G-6.none EmptyAnd finally these lines go to your plane_ru.properties:

HOW TO SWAP RADAR AERIALS: In your ..\Ju-88G-6\3do\Plane\Ju-88G-6\ folder, delete hier.him, make a copy of ier_Morgenstern.him
and rename it to hier.him. In order to revert standard FuG 220d aerials, repeat above process with hier_FuG220.him. Note that SN-2
Morgenstern antennas were very rare.

Tested with DBW 1.6 and SAS Modact 3.06. Reported to be working with DBW 1.71. Not compatible with 4.09.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A NOTE ON RADAR: The radar in the cockpit is only eye candy. This plane is intended for use with the
Airborne Inercept Radar Pack for Command&Control Mod v2 -
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,26404.0.htmlAppropriate AIRPCC/C&C object setup to simulate historical capabilities of this plane:
SN-2b (set neutral/army white)
GTW
Naxos (late option enabled)
RO (alternatively GNR)
NAV (optional, and IMHO not needed given the extraordinary nav insturments in this bird) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy nightflying

POSTSCRIPT SIDE-NOTE:
One thing needs to be clarified before we get entangled in discussions. There is a common misconception about Luftwaffe nightfighter variants (and especially the Ju 88G models). Namely that model designations were in any way linked to radar equipment. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! Infact, model designations stem from engines fitted and factory/tooling.
You will often read things like G-6a/b/c (or even G-7a/b/c) being versions of the Ju 88 that could be distinguished by or are tied to certain radars. NOT AT ALL TRUE!
This misconception was born in Britian shortly after the war and has been around and popular ever since - so popular that by now it has also become widespread in Germany.
Now, infact there were three groups of G-6's. G-6a and G-6b both had BMW 801 engines but came from different factories. G-6c had Jumo 213A engines.
The G-7 however is a ghost plane. It can easily be identified as it had the Ju 188 pointed wing, and Jumo 213E engines. Only a very small number (10 or so) were built, and probably did not see service. Practically speaking it was nonexistent.
Therefore, 99% of what you will find on the web concerning Ju 88G-6a/b/c and G-7(a/b/c) is CRAP!
Sorry, I had to add this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
