I get a bit OCD every now and again - this time it's on gliders - so my latest effort, which I have just passed to the paintshop and crewchief that is UncleTgt is the Gotha Go 242 - as well as moving parts it has jettisonable wheels and has rato gear

a couple of pics as a teaser until she comes off the ramp

Baldy,

Very nice...and I love the inclusion of BPO..."beans-powered takeoff." :costumed-smiley-034
 
Gotha Go 242

Hallo,
would this fine bird be avaible or flyable in FS2004?
I have downloaded different versions of the DFS 230,
but sadly no one is correct in my FSGW3 version.
it is impossible to land it correctly with out the trolly gear.
I hope the Gotha will be fine for FS9
yours
Papi
 
Go 242

Hi Papi

Never got as far as FS9 - all my stuff is CFS2 - however if the Gotha shows up in FS9 ( or someone converts it to FS9 ) then the jettisonable wheels and the rocket pods wont show up because they are functions of the dp file which FS9 doesn't have. All would not be completely lost because the glider has invisible wheels for take off - these are raised in the normal way so that the a/c can land on the skids. This would also apply to my DFS230 if converted to FS9. The pilots in the Go 242 are also in the dp file so they wont show in FS9

Hope all this makes sense

Maybe I could rebuild it in gMax. The jettisonable wheels and the rocket pods could be made to "jettison" by spoiler door or landing gear animation. Pilots can be added as I have the CFS2 pilots in gMax fourm that should plug right in.
 
Go 242 / 244

Hi Allen

You're more than welcome to give it a go once it's finished - would you need the fsds source file ? send me your email and I'll put it in the post

baldy

Hi Boeingetc ( if I may be familiar )

well it would be no great stretch to do the 244 when I get a bit of time - I'll add it to my list

baldy
 
The fsds source files many not be any good. Model Converter X should be able to open the model and than the .3ds file it makes will import into gMax.
 
Well you know more about it than I do -- so when Uncle and I upload it you're welcome to convert it to FS9

latest rato outing

Got it and looks good. Will see about an FS9 once I have my B-25Js done.

Gotha Go 242B-1 and Go 244

When I first uploaded the Go 242 glider Boeingetc asked if I would be going on to make the powered version, the Go 244 - well, I'm making progress in that direction.

The improved Go 242 ( with fixed wheels ) is nearly ready to be uploaded

attachment.php


the work on the Go 244 is proceeding and she sent to the paintshop recently - so watch this space

Thanks Baldy for this and the new Gigant updates. They are all great. Do you know where I can find a CFS2 version of the He 111Z Zwilling?
