Blohm und Voss 141

[maddoccanis]

Well I've been sitting here in my submarine U593 in Texas, wondering if the whole place was going to get washed away. Good time as any to develope a hunchback hovering over a keyboard building models for microsoft flight sim 2004. My latest project was a Blohm und Voss 141. A very odd assymetric airplane built just for the view. The vc turned out pretty neat i think. You only have air speed and altitude and I had to sort of combine them to get them in. The bv-141 had no dashboard, only a panel with some raised gauges by the pilots left side. but the view was spectacular!

I left the German crosses, but nixed the swastikas. I've included the fsds file so repaint it yourself if you are a history purist, or just want one in barber stripes.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i always thought the cockpit was the other side

it's very good though....................

 

[cheddar cheese]

Hey lanc, for once you're right...

 

[maddoccanis]

i must have flipped the 3d drawing when i first started. b und v tried a bunch of different configurations though, including one with the gondola at the wing tip!...doc

 

[cheddar cheese]

Is it me or does the cockpit look like its straight off a Fw-189?

 

[Nonskimmer]

Ah, those wacky German engineers!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Not half as wacky as this

 

[maddoccanis]

i looked at that 111, but i was experimenting with transparencies and heirarchies of visual elements in the models (making it look like the crew was inside the gondola) maybe i'll do a bv111 later......doc

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's stange because from the side it looks perfectly normal..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah. but from above...Oh dear

 

[maddoccanis]

the 111 may have flown pretty well. b&v started with a symmetric tail on the 141 and it apparently flew very well. the assymmetric tail didn't seem to work so well.....doc

Makes you wonder what B@V were thinking

 

[cheddar cheese]

It must have been the Germans equivilent of Jamaica, they must have smoked pot 24/7

 

[Yeomanz]
