Douglas X-3 Stiletto X

I wonder why this has never been made after all these years of FSX

Cheers,
Mark

Welll, it's just a guess, but, virtual airlines were quite popular for a few years. Probably still are, and except for Janet airlines, nothing flies to those places except military planes, and for those, i haven't even a laymans guess..

Well kids, here it is. Your first peek. You can count the thermal layers by the number of rolls left and right and the nose bounces. There are good reasons why this plane was never to be flown into any kind of weather.. I make no apologies for the obsolete software i used for recording it. It's all I have. I do apologize for Youtubes weird formatting and my lack of knowledge as to how to do a professional job of it. I sincerely hope you find this, entertaining and informative..
Thank you.

Good job, Pam! World's fastest lawn mower. You land 'em like I land 'em.

Welll, it's like I told Mark. zYouve got a 200 mph tricycle under you when you land. It doesnt steer very well and has a tendency to go unstable and imitate the six million dollar man, if you try.

I'll wind up being the $1.50 man cartwheeling down the runway trying to pop the dragchute

If all goes well, I plan to have a beta release out by the weekend.

This will serve to get some exposure to various computer systems and testing variety as we work to wrap up the package.

We have been working diligently to wrap up some little things; just a few more left to do. Not sure we'll make it today but will not be long now.

Thanks for your patience.

That looks absolutely amazing. BTW, I really like the AB effect as well.

LOL Well, if you follow the flight phase guidelines and keep a steady hand on approach, you should not have issues.

"Define 'interesting.'"

Just checking back in. Everyone on the Milton team doing OK?

Indeed, we are. Hold up is being addressed as time allows. Should not be much longer; then we can beta test.

Thanks for understanding.

Not a problem, Milton. Was just getting a little worried about health issues. No rush on my part.

I made final adjustments to the handling two days ago and passed the FDE to Paul. Paul will run it through one more sieve and make final adjustments too the power train before sending it too Milton. Please Understand though that Paul is back under a full work load and is taking precious time to assist us and may take a little longer than any of us including him, would like.
