Horten Ho-IX (erroneously called Gotha229)

Thanks for your attention on this bird Icarus. For some reason the German flying machines always find their way into my hangar as I find them fascinating, and true technological achievements of their day. The Horten flying wing is at the top of my list.. You ever consider doing the glider variants that preceded the 229?
 
Have you tried the freeware Horden Glider Steve it's at flightsim.com and simviation I think, it's a superb model and VC, I'd post a link for it but I'm only on my iPhone at the moment I'll PM you the link if you like?
 
thanks for the link warrant, seeing the video seems i catch the spirit how it flew i have to about horten i have to adjust only the jet effect then i can made a video

about the soviet models the only problem is that with russian gauges houston we have a problem

about glider variant is difficult, what glider you talk about specifically? now i am more focused on xb-35 or an usa copter the hup2

the Gloster E.28/39 is interesting i forget about that one.

when grumman is out i can be more concentrated with the Horten IX (g.229) and there will be more skins photos effects and videos.
 
Wasn't making a request for the gliders per say, was just wondering if you had any in work was all. I know that is how the aircraft started reading about the brothers and their ventures in aviation. The 229 by itself is fine, was just something that sparked my interest as a back thought since you are doing the Stuka and all as well. The XB-35 or one of the helicopters works for me. All the weird aircraft (to most anyway) are game in my book. Thanks all for the suggestions though. I will poke around and do more research and see what is out there.
 
no actually we haven't any glider on progress, we have to start the stukas as the arado 234 is 100% ready and then i have to choice between xb-35 or the copter, there is also possibilities we will start some italians fighters, i am on contact with some people about it. Bytheway we are now focused more on Usaf and Raf models (because we are realeasing 4 german models).
Hope start the final works before end of genuary about Horthen, just running as fast as i can with grumman duck.
I will start also a german airfield with some static aircrafts and more with Horten pack
I will more than happy to hear about new models and suggestion, i like also the research part about a new model because learning many new things about history and others not aviation related fields.
 
Yeah. I only ever discovered the 229 while looking into Nazi history.. It started out with a fascination over their ships, and then I wandered over into reading about their aviation. Years later after reading about all of the research, experiments, and firsts they did in a number of areas is intriguing. Look forward to seeing what the future brings from you.
 
phone call with another friend it will start me163, grumman duck is on the final test
 
Not to dig up a 5 year old thread...but.....

...did anything ever come of this project? If not, does anyone know the authors? Perhaps the community could take it over if they are not going to finish it?
 
Oh? I see. That is very unfortunate. This project looked very complete and very much in my interests! Too bad it never was released. It looked visually high quality!
 
It is, Ferry, but to my taste the VC is a bit crude and I wonder whether the flight model is quite correct. Of course I have no idea how the real plane flew, but for example directional control seems quite limited, although the Ho.IX had as far as I know, quite effective spoilers.<o:p></o:p>
