Dear flightsimmers, while continuing work in progress on our last future release, today i had a fligth with another one, the allwing Horten HO-IX, here some screenshots, this probably our only future jet. As always is fsx native sdk and very frame friendly

it is only a very first beta
 
icarus..
I saw that plane on your banner and started drooling incessantly. That was several months ago.. i bought the other version that was out there, and found a third version as well.. But this is the plane that i've wanted for so long ( besides the P-61 that is ).. Cant tell you how happy i am to wake up this morning and see your version here and learn its being developed.. I've been over your site a hundred times thinking that maybe i just missed it or something..
Let me know if you would like a beta tester for it.. i'd be real happy o put her through her paces..

after grumman duck it will be the next release out end of february.
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have longed for a good rendition of this gorgeous plane ever since I started using FSX.
Looking forward to her release. As you can see I use her as my FSX splash screen. Picture courtesy of Marek Rys from Luft 46 website.

PS. Any projected date on the Henschel 129?
 
that's fun i have sames screen but as desktop screen on my older one of three computer a p4 2.8 ghz
 
there are many i would like build as the dornier do 24, the dornier do 335 and more but time is limited we have many models on the way, hope it will be possible one day, personally i like the do24 and also do335 and dornier X
 
Is your Henschel HS 129 still going to be released it's one of my favourite axis ground attack aircraft, just love that big gun!
 
What differences will there be with the SkyUnlimited GO-229, besides the correct naming (though i must admit the Icarus one looks marvellous)?
 
thanks warrant and it's still a beta so it will be emproved more with the usual 10-15 skins

Henschel HS 129 yes it will be released too, now the list is grumman duck(flight model is ok needs only final check and a little scenery to take off land-but i am fast, horten, fiesler 156, henschel 129, i was counting the model we have and i wrote in past errouneosly were 11...they are 13 included last arado 234 that my other friend is finishing, he maked the horten and he told me tha the arado will be marvelous too...and thinking that he builded the horten 18 months ago i can imagine how will be the arado.

And we have also a p38 to finish but it will take much time we want made something special with this model.

If the Horten will have a good result is possible we build also another luftwaffe futuristic model as the ta-183 or another one

investigating also on new jet model same Horten's period...i know only about gloster meteor.
 
That sounds great, there were a few jets, like you said the meteor was the only British one, but the Germans had the horden, the me262, the Arado Blitz both 2 and 4 engines, the volksjager which looks as modern now as it ever did, also the Me163 Komet which was rocket powered and also very futuristic looking, they really were miles ahead!
 
arado 234 four engines same horten's modeller going to send me the final version soon
 
I wouldnt mind seeing it and the jet variant too but maybe were getting to much on are plates here? Just sayin.... Maybe we should focus on what is at hand right now and from what i see and know, it is the Duck on the Gotha 229..... I dont mean to offend here, i am just saying what i am feeling in terms of getting way to many projects going or promises.
 
i am not seeing so much interest on release...there are actually only three people talking about grumman duck so i talk also about other aircraft. Also there are some problems with few store that after two weeks still not having published the previous model..so....i am focused on all...just making things with time needed.
and i m not offended we can talk freely.
 
I'm just really glad that a company like Icarus is making these great models, perhaps in the future, you can even think about making some ww2 Russian aircraft like the Pe2, il2 or even a yak7? I'm looking forward to all your new releases as I have all your current ones and really enjoy flying them!
