Gotha Go244

by Kazunori Ito

*******************************************************************************

Glider Go242 for the invasion will obtain the authorization of a German Air Ministry because it had the load capacity three times transportation glider DFS230 that German army was using till then and start the mass production type development.
And, the airframe to which this machine also had had power was developed as well as other gliders for the invasion.
Because obtaining a large amount of Gnome Rhone 14M engines after France surrenders just became possible, this was installed and Go244 that had a fixed undercarriage was developed.
All these gliders with power were redecorating from powerless type Go242B.
In a part of airframe, BMW132Z engine (660hp) and captured Shuvestof M25A (750hp) made in the Soviet Union engine are installed.
However, because Go244 was a low-speed flying speed and a stolid maneuverability, damage by the combined force fighter becomes extensive, it has been improved from the front by the end of 1942.

[ About the directions point in FS2004 ]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9).
However........!!
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.
