    Don't think we have one here, at least the search says no... Simviation doesn't have CFS2 one as well. Dose this mean I need to drag out the 3D Ripper and liberate us the CFS3 model?

    Thought there was one for CFS2 but i was wrong.Knew i had the Ho-229 for CFS3 and IL-2 '46 but thought "for sure" for CFS2. We desperately need one for CFS2. If anyone will tackle this one it would be greatly appreciated . Cheers,Scott

    I have started ripping the CFS3 Ho229

    I can do the model and DP. For the air the best your going to get from me is the CFS3 just made to be flyable by player. No other testing so some one else will have to make something better.

    There is one for CFS2, here's a screen shot of it on my system. It'll take me a while to find it as I haven't flown the ETO (or even opened the program) in years.

    I found it on my system. It's actually an FS2000 model that I believe just drops into CFS2. It was made by Steve ( RATT ) Robinson. Here's a link that I think is still good:

    Does anyone have a DP file for the DO229

    Does any one have a DP file for the Ho 229 as day fighter or night fighter? What weapon were they intended to use? and any bombs or rockets. What about Cockpits? any photos? so many Questions. Thanks

    The Ho229 V3 prototype is still around so the cockpit layout is known. Ho229A seem to have been planned to have 4 30mm cannons and 2 1000 KG bombs. Seem likely R4M Rockets would be fitted as well.

    Ho-229A Night Fighter.zip


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - German

    Description: Probability historically inaccurate but I was not able to find any info what the 2 seat Ho-229 V4 and Ho-229 V5 prototypes under construction looked like. I took the CFS3 Ho-229A model I already converted and move the pilot forward and with a smaller nose wheel I could get radar operator in the back.

    Has most animations with breaking parts and damage texture logics. Model is Multi LOD. Flight Dynamics only tested in Free Flight! Anyone is free to test and rework flight dynamics.

    Hiya Allen!

    Thanks very much!

    I have a teensy issue.

    There seems to be a typo in the Allen_Read_Me_Install.txt file.

    In each of the install steps for gauges, weapons, dp files, etc, we are instructed to go to the listed folders and delete the listed files all except for the cdp files which apparently we are also expected to delete- although it never specifically tells up to do so.

    Same goes with the aircraft folder itself, instead of being told to add it to the aircraft folder we are instructed to delete it.

    Like I said, no biggie, as I am sure most of us understand what we are supposed to be doing. However, you never know, some newbie might be scratching his/her head wondering why nothing seems to be showing up in the game! ;^)

    Cheers,
    MR

    Have fun with it. Also if any CFS3ers are lurking I can sent you the gMax files.

    How I read it is delete the listed DPs and also delete the CDP if found.
