Darth Lazarus Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Horten Ho 229 ( H IX) inspired series of Aricrafts. I can't wait until the Horten will be implemented in Warthunder ( WoP sucks ) from right to the left: classic version, high altitude high speed, SSTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majorjim! Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Decided to try a 1:1 size stock Saturn V, because why not?http://i.imgur.com/c7JsJ6i.pngFirst and 2nd stage are a full 10m.Welcome back Gus! Been wondering what you been up to! Is is possible that this will be fully working? MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusTurbo Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 It should work. The sheer size makes engine clipping a necessity. I've been studying for the bar exam, so I've been really busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew123 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) The Ho 229 is a real demon to fly... especially at high speeds. Has anyone tried to fly it in il2 1946 before... engine overheat and fuel tank explosions. Edited June 4, 2014 by andrew123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe scale the rocket back a little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrobin Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 How does it fly with all of the lifting surfaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranium Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Early design on my first FAR powered SSTO spaceplane. Breaking the sound barrier is more difficult than I thought, and approaching hypersonic speeds is a pain.Still, seems like FAR is more fun and interesting, at least for spaceplanes so far. On a more recent version, i've been able to actually make it to space, and actually dock with my orbiting space station.Next up is being able to make it to Duna, and see if it has enough lift to land there safely.

GusTurbo Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Holy...!How many rover bodies are there? it does look a little small. Maybe scale the rocket back a little?There are actually 0 rover bodies. I will scale down to 64%, which is the proper scale (3.9m->2.5m)How does it fly with all of the lifting surfaces?Flies okay.

Woopert Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Me 262 is quite a cool plane. I've been playing War Thunder a lot recently for my quest to unlock it -- I mainly want to have it for its historical significance being the first jet fighter actually put in service.The Fleet Master -- what's your War Thunder username? I could play with you and a couple of my friends later, when I have time. GusTurbo -- that looks really good so far! You could always try scaling *up* the Apollo spacecraft part so that is to scale. A bunch of Mk1-2 pods clipped together would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Let's go to the Mun.http://i.imgur.com/Rd32b5b.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/z1dlAxS.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/8HDrRlj.pngDecided to lose the wing sections.http://i.imgur.com/rDy236V.pngWow! Looking much slicker, and I'm thinking, gentler on your CPU. The Apollo+CSM module is really cool! Delta-V accurate? With such monster lifter, you must have had to be quite inefficient with that massive S-IVb to get that. But I'm really liking the hint towards a fully battery-powered mission, your lunar stack looks very complicated with all the batteries and such. Rune. But part count estimates give me a cold shiver, I'm getting very used to nothing going over 500, even stations with docked stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusTurbo Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks! It comes out to about 600 parts, which isn't too bad, considering. It has required me to handicap it a bit. A lot of the fuel tanks are empty to keep the dV down to more accurate levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooDzor Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Let's go to the Mun.Impressive! (out of rep points) I haven't yet built a new Saturn V. Slowly working my way towards it I am thinking about creating all the Apollo missions starting from 5.. If only I had the time :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
