Guten tag, Herr/Frau/Fraulein Fliegers!
Yeah, bad attempt at speakin' German, sorry about that...
Anyhow--along with everything else I've noticed, I see that there is no working Horten/Gotha Ho-/Go- 229/IX flying wing... I've seen several, but they either don't work, or the links are corrupt... I had one for CFS1, and it was awesome, but I couldn't ever get the .mdl converter or anything else to work... I was wondering, is there one currently in the works, or anywhere out there for download?
Also, I just spotted something on the History Channel about an enormous German flying-wing bomber, made for round-trip bombing raids from Berlin to New York--at an altitude of over 10 miles, and a speed in excess of 582 knautical miles per hour... Think it was called the 'Horten Ho-18,' or something like that... Crew of three, four jet engines, unique landing gear/engine mounting spars... Any clues about making his oddbaall aircraft?
Also on the program was the possible-fore-runner of the Russian MiG 15, called the Focke-Wulfe Ta-183 'Humpback'... It was rated in at a speed of about 512 knautical miles per hour, and a maximum altitude of 45,000 feet--absolutely great for it's time. It supposedly had 4 30mm cannons and wing racks for 4 aerial, wire-guided missiles...
I believe I speak for us all when I say " 'What If?' scenarios ROCK!!" If I'm wrong, do go ahead and let me know, but if not, how 'bout these three ideas--refreshed or new?
Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, Paper beats Rock - but High Explosives beats All.
