Focke-Wulf Ta-183

8,541 Itamar3553  8.8 years ago

The Ta-183 was an experimental german WWII jet fighter. It is armed with 4xMK 108 30mm machine guns, and four X-4 wire guided air to air missiles.

Tthe missiles guidance is manual so you have to activete groups 1-4 for each missile instead of pressing "Launch weapon". (don't press it or your plane will explode).

I hoped you liked the plane and thanks for your support and upvotes!

    Unlike you I’m having a damn toughy time putting the missile into stable functioning condition.

    you can't actually control it, but you can lock it on an air/ground target depands on your targeting mode(change it by pressing 'R'), and when the "Launch Weapon" button lights up, activate groups 1-4. (each activation fiers one of the four missiles) Hope that I helped you.

    @Itamar3553 I was mostly refering to the missiles not the aircraft itself. But besides that, how does one control the missile on your aircraft?

    The Ta-183 were nothing more than a blueprint on a drafting table, and a little wind tunnel model, but I can assume that if the aircraft was real, the missiles were fired one at the time, so they will be controlled independently.

    Is each missile controllable independently? After all, they were fly-by-wire

    Cool replica, I love these Missiles! Great job, but it sometimes explodes when you fire guns and Makin maneuvers....
