Horten Ho-IX (erroneously called Gotha229)

[icarus]

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.

i like also the me163 and he162

[icarus]

phone call with another friend it will start me163, grumman duck is on the final test

...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?

[TuFun]

Very cool jet! Reminds me of this one...

Given the history between 'Icarus' and SOH that is highly unlikely.

That's a bit of an understatement.

[Mach3DS]

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!

[Stickshaker]

Unfortunate indeed! I would buy an up-to-date Ho-IX as payware.<o></o>

[Mach3DS]

Same here!

The Sky Unlimited model is still quite good IMHO.

[Stickshaker]

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></o>
