The Horten Ho III was a high-performance flying wing sailplane build by the Horten brothers between 1937 and 1944. This model includes the Ho III-B glider and the Ho III-D motor glider.

Features:

Horten Ho III stationary on runway.Detailed 3D and aerodynamic model based on construction photographs and post-war analysis, Horten sin3 bell-shaped lift distribution for improved stability, split differential ailerons for improved control, drag rudder and speed brakes controls integrated into the rudder pedals, detailed virtual cockpit including a complete tube-framed interior; stick, rudder pedals, throttle and flap controls with working linkages; “Astralon” clear reflecting wing covering and a custom fitted pilot, Walter Mikron II Engine simulation (Ho III-B), custom high-resolution WWII German metric instruments, landing gear and leading edge drag rudder animation, high resolution textures and multiple versions and liveries. Documentation included in the package.

How to install this mod

X-Plane add-on

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place per readme

    X-Plane add-ons go into Aircraft/ (planes), Custom Scenery/ (airports, mesh), or Resources/plugins/ (plugins).

  3. Restart X-Plane

    Close X-Plane completely and relaunch. The new content loads automatically.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
