Feel pretty much the same, but heres a thing, aint no one with an ounce of common sense going to pick up the B-1 mantle when Milviz have a almost complete mesh needing conversion, nothing against Milviz but its there, in the flesh and to be honest if the climate changed and people got behind it, then it'd be done this year, and quite well too.
Now, who in their right mind is going to sit down and go against that, knowing that they may well end up being usurped near the finish line ?. Now the Milviz B-1 may never take off, but its a risk few are going to take these days.
I know my Essex carriers have the same effect, over the months people have mailed me and said they have given theirs up, mines too good and too advanced to compete with and thats the sad and unfortunate effect of this so called marketing, you end up stiffeling competition.
Back in the early days this was actually quite a common thing to do with a few payware developers, they'd preview a lot of models, stiffel competition and then slow track then to the shelf, secure in the knowledge that they had 'baggsied' that subject.
It'll be a brave payware man that takes on the B-1 with the Milviz previews, or...a dedicated and bona fida nutter to which competition means not one jot
.
I'd also considered a F-14, A-7 or F-111 + a few others, but most are all taken elsewhere, Like IRIS I refuse, as far as possible to duplicate work, theres so much else to choose and if none of that takes your fancy then theres much more in life than just FS
.
Back to the B-1, that sexy smooth swept look is going to be a killer of a mesh to get right, add into that some other complex animations....well there are easy subject matters to pick
, and Dano hit the nail on the head, as did another recent post.......the market for military aircraft is most certainly diminishing.

I'd like to see a new B-1B. I'd have a go at building one if I had an abundance of time :faint:
