Nice pics

Spins also posted that Sat he will have an updated version out.

VC that works, gauges and some other texture glitches.

Can't wait for that  :o

Thanks for trying Blade, but I've flown hundreds of aircraft in every fs version, and this B-1 is COMPLETELY uncontrollable at all speeds. It's not an overspeed, or stall problem. The B-1 is on takeoff roll when it refuses to rotate with full flaps; then at 150 kts the elevators violently flale about. If you slew the plane into the air it begins to girate like a fly avoiding getting swatted. I have had this problem with other aircraft, but usually it only occurs at very high speeds (fs2000 starfighters).

Yea I saw, but it adds 737 sounds which suck. Also to everyone that has a problem, it takes a while to learn how to fly the Bone, its complex in the way it flies. You need to learn when to use the wing posistions for your altitude and speed, and how to control it, just takes practice.

...which you can learn in our 7th training wing!  ;)

Hi Iceman,

What type of control device are you using?

Hi Iceman,

What type of control device are you using?

i know what you mean iceman, and i'm glad i've found someone with the same prob. while i was betatesting this aircraft, i already had this problem. i hoped they would fix it, but it seems they don't. i still have this problem, even with the new version.

the only thing i know u can do about it, is putting of your force feedback on your joystick. i don't know what kind of control device you have, but it works with my MS sidewinder joystick. i know, without FF it's not easy and fun to fly it, but if there is no other solution...

Yup, those that are experiencing

We apologize for the FFB issues. They will be ressolved in the upcoming patch.

Thank you for the understanding.

Here's an update for the FFB ppl. I did some adjustments in the flight modeling and Trev has told me some good news! It works the aircraft can fly.

I really don't understand why MS implemented FFB this way.

I'm not complaining at all, this looks great and I am sure this is only a minor glitch, but am wondering if I download this again, will it fix it? It takes about 40 mins on my lowly 56k connection.
