Cool, I'll be trying them out later tonight

I just DL'd the new planes and noticed that the Go229's NLG Door still had a shading problem. I took it into Max, fixed it, reimported it into the SM file and now it's good to go. I sent the file back to Panzer and RT and hopefully they'll incorporate it into the new Zip.

I just watched a program on the History channel last night called "Secret Lufwaffe Aircraft of the Second World War"
Pretty interesting that a Ho bomber was on the drawing board, with the capability to reach New York and get back. The air-to-air missiles on the Ta 183 and the VTOL-type craft in development were also very interesting.

Now for the download!

HE162 SALAMANDER FROM PANZERS AND ROADTOADS FLIGHT SHOP
OR ROADTOAD AND PANZERS FLIGHT SHOP

WARNING

This aircraft performs as prototype, or production model
did, i have built an FM that is close to original but have also
added more flyability with slightly larger wings and slightly
better control. BUT BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THIS
AIRCRAFT IS A HANDFULL, IT WAS THE SAME FOR
THE GERMAN PILOTS WHO FLEW THE HE162 MANY OF
WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN CONVERTING TO THE HE162.
You can fly a He162 in CFS and SWOTL but these models
fly just like any aircraft which means incorrect FMs.
Built into model is a far forward CG making model slightly
nose heavy this is caused by extra weight bolted into nose
cone to give more lateral control and extra slopping
wing tips to compensate for vertical problems. If you take
time to master the He162, because she can be mastered
you will perhaps relive a few desparate hours that those
German pilots must have gone through flying the He162.

TAKE OFFS

Trim in up elevator four ar five presses on up key
should be enough, release brakes, start engine
advance throttle she holds on the runway well so
you wont have to steer to much. My favorite way
of taking off is full throttle until i am about halfway
along runway then i start to pull up she lifts off great.
when in air get that gear up it causes quite a drag
and nose will drop. Once in air trim down on elevator
and try her out smooth on controls no jerky movements.
Another method of take off is to put in half flaps when you
are halfway along runway no more than half flaps are
needed or should be used. Then lift her off pull up flaps
and undercarriage quickly as they cause quite a drag
and nose will drop sharply, then trim down with elevators and
try her out with smooth movements on stick.

IN THE AIR

Controls in the air must be smooth, she swings left and right okay.
She climbs okay and dives okay be ready with ailerons when
climbing and diving she likes to tip over if movement is to quick.
She can go into a spin just reduce throttle and give opposite aileron
to spin push nose down you can pull her out okay.

LANDING

When landing dont drop under 170kph half flap no more please
nose will drop trim in up elevator until nose lifts, down with
undercarriage more up will be needed, slowly sink towards runway
she glides great so dont overshoot that runway. Touch down with an air
speed just over 170kph, it can be done but needs training, and dont
forget brakes once your down.

Hope these tips help.

AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HE162 SALAMANDER
THE ACTUAL NAME WAS HE162 SPATZ OR SPARROW
AND NOT SALAMANDER WHICH WAS JUST THE CODE NAME
FOR THE WINGS.

PANZER AND ROADTOAD MAY 2000

TO INSTALL HE162. ZIP OPEN SDOE DIR. AND UNZIP ALL FILES
WILL BE PLACED IN RIGHT DIRECTORYS. THEN TAKE HER UP

Might help you if your having trouble with her.

NEXT RELEASE THE ME-SHARK

Great stuff man.

I wish more people would use these suckers online.

I guess I'll have to make some missions for them.

The Ho on the drawing board was the XVIII. (Actually it got past the drawing board. The contract was let to Messerschmidt. The first thing their designers wanted to do was put a vertical stabilizer on it. The Horten bros. said no and had the contract pulled. Otherwise, who knows....

Just put the SM files in the right directories- GopilotSit in Media\Aircraft\Go229 and HepilotSit in Media\Aircraft\Heinkel162 and answer Yes when asked whether to overwrite existing files.

Panzer/Roadtoad, if you want me to take this down, just let me know and it will be done ASAP.

Still haven't got around to flying these babies... been sick and I just moved to another state but I guess I better plug my joystick in and get flyin'!

Did you guys get that updated SM file I sent you both? I was hoping to here from at least one of you by now, but nothing yet. Again, it fixes the nose gear forward door's shading problem.
