    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning

Virtavia B-1B has been released!!

Regarding rules, the USAF in general regards most photography even if unclassified as INFOSEC (information security). This is why if you stand outside a base and snap pictures, the Security Police may give you a visit. It's not that what you are photographing is classified, it's that collectively, information over a period of time may provide classified information or information they do not want people to know. And yes, commanders typically get all the fancy photoshoots of their aircraft. I remember the F-16 commander at Eielson had his plane under a hanger with a HUGE American flag and the thing was so clean you could eat off of it, which is quite the opposite of most F-16s I encountered which were dirty as sin. Don't get me started on the A-10s.

Ugh... don't remind me about INFOSEC right now. My yearly death-by-CBT INFOSEC is coming due here in a month or so.

LOL! I have an old kevlar helmet that was scribed on by the guys I worked with. It reads "Born to MOPP". Have faith brother! I don't envy you... but I've been there.
 
Does this rendition of the Lancer have terrain-following radar?

Ummm, no. Funny though, when you select the TFR controls, it just displays a change to the Artificial Horizon on the MFD. If they had modelled something along the lines of TFR, it would have been a keeper for me. Honestly though, I think TFR would be tough to model.
 
There is a TFR for the AlphaSim F-111 that was added by a third party IIRC.

Maybe it can be adapted to the B-1B.

Hmmm, would re-generate my interest in her. It's tight looking bird, but just not enough ooomph for me to replace my AS Bone.
 
This is one of the first payware aircraft (excluding CS 767 sort of stuff), that actually flies the ILS approach into Edwards AFB. Usually aircraft will track the localizer, than drift right of the runway. Not so with the B-1B...this puppy went right down the throat of the approach. I couldn't be happier.

And remember guys, it's only version 1.0 :)

You're welcome!
 
Sadly the B-1B (and A-10 for that matter) were notably missing from RIAT 2010 this year.

Looks like I'll have to get my kicks from this virtual Lancer instead!
 
Any Problems to report?

I am Thinking about Buying this bird, Has anyone had any problems with it? I would be greatful for any feedback Anyone could give. Thanks

On the other side of the coin if you have any questions about the model's features or the systems please don't hesitate to ask. I've been involved with the project since the beginning and can answer your questions.

Is there a way to turn down the green interior lighting? too bright for night flight. could be about 50% dimmer IMO.

thx for a wonderful model otherwise.

Should be possible to edit either the fx file for VC lighting or simply move the VC lighting backwards by changing 64.50 to maybe 60, or less.

light.4 = 4, 64.50, 0.0, 4.2, fx_virtav_B1B_vclight_Gr

Hope that helps
