[OUTDATED] Horten H-IX 229 V3/4

描述
SINCE I CAN'T UPDATE THIS BLUEPRINT HERE'S THE NEW AND IMPROVED ONE!
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2649527737

Introduction

Hey folks! This is my interpretation of the jet engine powered Horten H-IX Ho 229 V3/4 flying wing plane, originally designed by the German Horten brothers Reimar and Walter in WW2 as a compact and fast fighter/bomber platform. The Horten 229 aircraft never made it out of its (flying!) prototype stages and due to its plywood wing construction it exhibited early stealth capabilities, which are disputed of being intentional in its design.
I tried to make the plane as accurate as possible while also keeping FPS performance reasonable (after prolonged flying it still does lag; yet slowly double-tapping [7] while flying reduces lag most of the time!).

Since this thing went through numerous rebuilds and so much other fixing and test runs (see timeline picture) an UPVOTE 👍 would be very much appreciated, only if you like it of course.

It uses the mods shown on the right side of the page →

Controls:

IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED TO CUSTOM MAP THE CONTROLS (FOR EXAMPLE TO YOUR NUMPAD)!

ALWAYS PULL YOUR FLAPS UP WHEN YOU START, OTHERWISE NOT ENOUGH UPWARDS LIFT IS GENERATED FOR TAKE-OFF!

[1] Open the cockpit hatch (button is located under the nose of the plane in the front landing gear cavity)

[2] Flaps up

[3] Flaps down

[4] Roll left

[5] Roll right

[6] Activate Cannons

[7] Retract/Open landing gear SLOWLY DOUBLE-TAP WHILE FLYING FOR LESS LAG!

[8] Start Engines

[9] Yaw left

[10] Yaw right

IF THE PLANE STARTS BUGGILY DRIFTING INTO A SPECIFIC DIRECTION / OR HAS BAD FPS → SLOWLY DOUBLE TAP [7] WHILE FLYING FOR LAG REDUCTION OR TAP THE CONTROL FOR THE BUGGY DIRECTION! EXAMPLE: Plane drifts to the LEFT, tap YAW LEFT shortly, or wiggle around a bit with both yaws! This CAN fix the issue!


FAQ:

- Moving parts might/will get stuck. To fix this respawn the plane or try very aggressive flight maneuvers.

- This aircraft CAN RARELY bug out and fly off into Nirvana, due to a lot of bearings being integral in its design. Best call is to backup your world before doing excessive maneuvers/crashes. Also always turn the engines off before you eject.

- The old 2017 version is also in the workshop. If you really want to see the beginning of my work (but why? lol) you can still download it here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1144390906

- The armed variants of the Horten 229 (so V4/5 onwards) should have dual 30mm Rheinmetall-Borsig autocannons, but due to the Machine Gun Pack mod only having a modelled 20mm autocannon that's what's onboard.

- Why does the airbrake open when you yaw instead of, historically accurate, wing-mounted flaps? Wing-mounted flaps can't be configured to actually work well with this build and would cost FPS due to 4 more bearings being needed (and possibly bug out). I wanted to atleast have some sort of visual feedback for the yaw, so airbrakes it is.

- If the plane won't spawn because of a missing item, additionally download the LEGACY SUPPORT MODPACK by durf from the Steam workshop. Available here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=895738008&searchtext=Legacy+Support+Modpack

- Thanks a lot to all the fantastic building parts mod creators. Without you folks this would not have been possible at all. Thanks again fellas.

Hi crtsneufeld!
Have you enabled the 7 necessary mods when you opened up a new creative world to fly the Horten on? Because I tested the plane with said 7 mods enabled on a fresh new creative world and it loaded fine for me with no errors.
Also this here is the older variant of the plane, here is the link to my newer, slightly updated one with better geometry (still a bit laggy but just follow the steps in the description :D):

(PS: If you don't wanna click on the link out of security concerns, just look up my profile and search for the upload of my Horten with the tag [Updated])

Have fun! ~ ElGordo26 :steamthumbsup:

Oh trust me I'm not playing that mess and have no plans doing so either.
Atleast from what I've gathered from the "most helpful" negative reviews of veteran players here on Steam, WT seems to be fun up to a certain vehicle grade/level and then it fully devolves into a horrendous cashgrab. Not mentioning the atrocious methods and behaviour of the devs (like banning the guy who exposed them of secretly reducing your exp and silver gain when you play very good for longer amounts of time, or continuing faction/vehicle balancing issues etc...).
No thanks I'm good.

Sometimes WT is just useful to see certain rather obscure vehicles in action, but that's about it.

saying that WT is fun you better take that back
cuz WT is nothing but a game to piss people off and full of cursed/bad luck maps

all tho the Phantom II is a A-10 Lighting bolt in disguise

Thanks again for 2.000 subs and the upvotes! :D

Well the McDonnell Douglas Phantom II is 14-15 years more modern so logically technology advanced compared to the very early days of jet turbine technology and early conventional fighter plane design.
Yet the flying wing construction of the Horten 229 (and also Northrops flying wings as well) stood the test of originality and time (as we can see in things like the Northrop B2).

Also Gaijin has to balance things accordingly, so WT stays interesting and fun, because an actual realistic war and weapons representation is everything BUT fun.

i have war thunder do i can just buy this in the game but too expensive not worth it i'd rather get the F-4E Phantom II which is more expensive
Cheap plane = bad quality plane
VERY EXPENSIVE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR PLANE = VERY WORTH IT AND VERY GREAT QUALITY (extra great qualityif blessed by Star Platinum)

Sorry for the format! Please read from top to bottom! Thanks ; )

Hey mate thanks for stopping by!

The Horten 229 was, as far as I know, meant to be a fighter aircraft according to the Horten brothers Reimar and Walter. Yet to secure more funding they got into the 1000x1000x1000 program of the Luftwaffe (1000 kilometres of flight range, 1000 km/h topspeed and 1000kg/2.200 lbs bomb capacity). This program was one of the last ditch efforts in 1943 to turn the tides of World War 2 in favor of the Third Reich.

Yet on the other hand the Gothaer Waggonwerke (in Gotha Germany) , the company who was chosen to start the production on the Horten flying wing, thought that the flaps/additional airbrakes on the upper and lower side of the wings weren't enough for fast turns/maneuvers (which was wrong according to the statements of a few test pilots who said the Horten 229 had excellent turning).
This wrong train of thought made the companies engineers think the Horten brothers envisioned a fast bomber platform, which they didn't.
