Go 229, alias Ho 229 or Ho IX

The_Coyote · Mar 2, 2008

OK, here is the next unit. Was a good exercise for me. Is one of the (or perhaps the) first combat purpose flying wing. Not finished and not used in WW II, but there were some test flies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_Ho_229

Has 545 vertices, 762 triangles (perhaps a little bit much for such a simple shape, but the engine demanded to much)
2 x 256 Textures and best scale seems to be 0.65

Link to fighter animation
(is there a MG in the JetAnimation? and better for this jet)

PS: What is necessary to upload this in the database? I couldn´t. :cry:

Or was that the same reason why i couldn´t attach until now?

Thank you! :thumbsup:

You couldn't upload it to the DB yet because you are a new user. Once you have been here longer and have more posts you will not have to go through the "moderation queue." (Prevents spammers and malevolent users from uploading harmful things.)

Thanks for the answer and thanks for the thanks.

Well done! What do you plan to do next?

Wolfshanze · Mar 2, 2008

Yeah... more WWII aircraft model makers!

We need all we can get...

Here's a friendly tip for the new blood to the board.

If you want to make any WWII light/single-engine bombers or Fighter Bombers (Dive Bombers, Light Bombers, etc), I'd HIGHLY recomend you use/link-them-to This Animation from the TBF Avenger, as it's the only animation file that allows for both MG fire and bombing animations from the same unit.

We could use something cool (never before done) like a Fairey Battle or a Breda Ba.65... that would tie-in nicely with the Avenger Animation above! (Hint, Hint).

Cool one! Yes!

avain · Mar 3, 2008

The_Coyote,

this unit is excellent! Please, keep making them! :goodjob:

snafusmith · Mar 3, 2008

This is a great unit in all respects- Great job man!

asioasioasio · Mar 3, 2008

I checked model - very very good - it goes to 1939 art directory

@ Wolfschanze - i'll upload breda ba.65 - if you want.

esnaz · Mar 3, 2008

Great unit! :goodjob:

Really? Wow, I wasn't even aware of that, and I've been using the TBF for some time. That really needs to be used for lots of dive-bombers and fighter-bombers. :thumbsup:

GeoModder · Mar 3, 2008

Ah, do we have a Horten here without that annoying afterburner animation?

Yeah... using the "fighter" animation for any single-engined model just has it do a "strafing" run on whatever it attacks (even if it's a Stuka attacking ground troops or a ship).

The TBF animation allows it to fire guns if it's fighting another fighter (or intercepting), and dropping bombs if on a ground-strike mission... a very good animation... should really be used by a ton of units, but I've only seen it used with the TBF... I'd really like to see someone go back and attach it to some other models (like Stukas for instance).

The_Coyote · Mar 3, 2008

thanks a lot for the replies, it´s a great motivation

@ wolfshanze
the fairy battle, perhaps i will made this plane, but first i have to start and finish my next must have (myself) airplane. and thanks for the link to the animation.

Wolfshanze · Mar 3, 2008

The Fairy Battle would be great!

asioasioasio · Mar 4, 2008

@ The Coyot - what unit it'll be that you want to make?

The_Coyote · Mar 4, 2008

my plan was to make the "anteater", the Do 335

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Do_335

i hope it doesnt exist

Edit: i wan´t to make this model, because it looks great (and was perhaps the fastest not jet airplane in WWII) and i wan´t get more trained in using animation (the Do has 2 propeller)

Edit2: i cancel the Do 335, there is already one out: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=3828451

asioasioasio · Mar 4, 2008

you can animate Do 335 if you want - from what i notieced it doesn't rotate the rear propeller

psob2 · Mar 4, 2008

great looking unit, thanks

having a problem getting it to show in game. tried to add it the same way i added the he162 and yak, which worked fine. after adding the go 229 when i try to load a game i get a blank Tech adviser screen, then no interface. anyone else having a problem getting this to show ingame? or did i just screw something up
