Hi Pepe,
I have about 200 hours in the XB-15 project. The external model is taking shape. There is no panel or Virtual Cockpit yet. The plane seems to have fairly realistic performance in FS2004, as regards speed and range. It can go about 3500 miles at 152 miles per hour, at 60% power (512 hp, 31 inches MP, 2100 RPM) at 7000 feet altitude, with maximum fuel capacity of 4200 gallons, and takeoff weight of 68,000 pounds. If you cruise at 137 miles per hour, you can stretch the range to 4000 miles in roughly 29 hours. It takes off at about 95 miles per hour and lands at about 75 miles per hour. Maximum speed is just under 190 miles per hour.
