SR-71?

[BigAl]

Where can I find a good SR-71 plus a panel and sounds? I tried one called "lockeed martin sr-71a blackbird" but for some reason the aircraft was acting funny and wouldn't take off. Anyone know of a good one out there?

Just 2 words: Ric Barker. The best SR-71 here http://www.simviation.com/fstop20_220303.htm Theres also another fabulous SR here http://www.simviation.com/fs2002military8.htm That ones got a pretty good VC too, and several schemes.

sweet, thanks man. and how about a sound pack for it? do you know of one?

[Oz]

I saw an SR-71 sound pack included with the FS2000 PSS Sr-71 at flightsim.com. Im sure you can find a good one either her at SimV or anywhere else.

thanks man! i appreciate it. i seem to be having a few problems though with ric's version. the autopilot doesn't want to engage when i turn it on...

[BigAl]

oh yeah, one more thing... do you know why i can't gain speed when im going 15 degrees up at 50k feet?? its the only way i can gain altitude, but my speed keeps dropping and i begin to stall. i thought it could go faster than this, am I missing something?

Big Al, hit the afterburners (CTRL F4), also remember that in real life the SR71 took off with less than a full load of fuel!

i selected unlimited fuel just because i enjoy cruising at high speeds at high altitudes. but its too bad theres no way of mid air refueling, that would rock.
