There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

I'm running DX-10, don't see the wheels attach, will try again though.
Really like this insane aircraft.
Really like this insane aircraft.
I served in the RAF as an airframe mechanic during the late 50's, and we actually had one of these aircraft in a hanger at RAF Colerne. We also had a pilotable version of the V-1. These were rolled out for display at our annual Battle of Britain displays in Setember.
When the station closed in the mid seventies, these aircraft and many others, formed the basis of a musuem to which my wife and myself were invited for a private viewing. The museum closed after a relatively short time, and I don't know where those aircraft are now, or if they even survived.
One of the test pilots of the Me-163, was Hanna Reitch. She was badly injured when she crashed in one, but recovered to fly again. She was also involved in the testing of the proposed "suicide bomber" a pilotable version of the V-1 rocket called the Reichenberg. A very interesting lady, who despite her extremely dangerous occupation, lived to a good age. Lots of information about her and her flying career on Google.

Here's a good website that lists the known histories of individual Me-163B's. Perhaps the one you remember is in there?

Works fine.
As Dave says. Along with standard FSX with Acceleration, the 163 works in DX10, the older P3D, and P3D2.2.
