Boeing B-797 Double Decker Flying Wing is Released!

This bird is BIG. I was amazed at how big it really was when I pulled up next to a 757. I took off from KSEA. Down the runway and into the air. Nice and graceful. She looks real nice Bill. A lot nicer than the pictures you showed us prior to release.
..The cabin is mega spacious.

I like the attention to detail on the whole exterior. And not bad on frames at all in any view. It actually was a lot smoother on frames than most others!! Usually I have issues with scenery textures popping in out in the distance. Surprising, everything was crystal clear.

This is very exciting. Thanks for sharing your first no-limit model.
 
This plane is GREAT!! Which brings me to the obvious question....does this success indicate a possibility of seeing more LHC products for FS9 soon? Or at all? I know the WT9 has been mentioned, but i was awfully bummed to see the Victory VLJ go FSX only...and I wonder what the chances are....:jump:

Yes. More planes from LHC now in FS9 format. Perhaps even more in FS9 format then in FSX format. :d Its been a real breath of fresh air, working in FS9 again. Its really nice to make planes for.



Some small notes of features not mentioned.

There is a Belly Cam and a RH Rudder Cam accessible only in FS9 and when in 2D or VC panel view modes. Select Numpad 4-5 (together) for Belly Cam, and Numpad 5-6 for RH Rudder view.

Dome light is turned on with the 'O' key (letter Oh) which is usually used for strobes. Shift L is instrumentation lighting only, great for night flights.

....YIPPEEEEE!!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! This is the BEST news I've heard on the FS9 front in a loooong time!!! Thank you, Mr. Bill Ortis!!!!
 
congrats and thanks!

hey Bill,
This plane is a superbly executed proof-of-concept! And a great flyer.

It looks great, feels good in the cabin, and the level of animation detail in the gear, for example, is stunning.

Of course I luv all the knobs, and cant wait for the future designs

CHAPEAU!!
 
What a cracker! A highly original and high quality model, superb stuff! Right I'm off to do some screenshots

Kind regards

John

Anyone confirm this?

I confirm it...


Just great. Hackers again. They also hit my Bellanca Super Viking page. I havent found a way to clear it up. For some reason the hacking is invisible. I delete pages and put new ones in and its still there.


Terrorism. These guys should be charged with terrorism.

EDIT: If you access the manual by pasting in the address, you can get straight there into the PDF. http://lionheartworld.net/bwb/Boeing_797_Manual.pdf

Some how, they have hacked links in my website.

Hi Bill, She flies real excellent and handles excellent under Arctic flight conditions. Thank you
 
I finally got a chance to play with the "production" version, and I like the new treatment of the panel colors!:ernae: The only thing I found (and really should have checked in the beta, sorry Bill) is the standby frequencies don't work. The Radios section of the aircraft.cfg should read:

[Radios]
// Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1, 1
Com.2=1, 1
Nav.1=1, 1, 1
Nav.2=1, 1, 1
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1

Also, for those that like to use the minipanel, you can spread the two displays by making this mod to the panel.cfg:

[Window06]
position=7
size_mm=640,200
window_size=0.75
child_3d=1
background_color=0,0,0
ident=MINIPANEL
gauge00=LHC_Boeing747-400!Primary Flight Display, 0, 0
gauge01=LHC_Boeing747-400!Multi-Function Display, 467, 0
 
Hey Tom,

You know, that was on my list of things to do and I cant believe they didnt get done.

The gentleman doing the config files had a different 2D panel and so I guess thats how the Stand-bye's were altered.

Thanks for posting this.

I'm preparing a small flight dynamics update with the kind permission of the author. I found this aircraft a tad stiff in the air so I've made it a bit more fluid in the sky. It will fly with a greater feel of mass and inertia a-la other jets this size. Otherwise this is a marvellous one-of-a-kind bird to get to know.
