    Post 17 Warning

Blackbird SR-71 Blackbird has taken off and Beale AFB retro released. (bundle)

Dimus, interesting video, I had wondered about the SR in the engine test area! If you do any more updates to the scenery, for extra realism, add the red anti collision lights top and bottom of that SR as they were switched on for engine start - even on the tests.


I see an update has been released, did you manage to fix the flickering fuel spill on the hangar floor - also have there been any update to the SR itself?

Thanks! On the lights: Will be considered, why not. The update mainly fixed the door animation issue when sometimes the door would not fully opened. A sim glitch that I managed to work around by redoing the animation differently. Full changelog for the scenery is:
- Fixed hangar No12 door animation bug that sometimes did not open completely
- Hangar 12 renamed to No 76 (to denote the best spawn position for a Blackbird)
- Corrected sound effect for lights switch off when closing hangar doors at night
- Deleted birdstrike radar that did not exist in the 80s
- Adjusted position of parked KC-135Qs and start positions on northern apron to not block the vehicle roadway

The fuel spills flickering is something that others have reported but neither myself or the testers are seeing. We are trying to figure out if it depends on a graphics setting. Please log this on Discord on the SR-71 discussion channel so we can gather info.

For the SR-71 a big update is under progress to take into account as much as possible of the stuff reported so far and add more features. Can't give an ETA yet.
 
Just HU on an update for the SR-71 that is out. Also two freeware scenery enhancements are available from BB website here (scroll down the page to find them):

One is an addition of two Blackbird hangars at the default Mildenhall airport. The other is a revamp of the default Diego Garcia AB which includes one Blackbird hangar that was transported and assembled there in the 70s to support SR-71 operations from Diego Garcia.
