Hi there,
I know I have posted a couple of B1B shots already, but I just love this airplane. It is my probably my favorite of all time. I was lucky to get these shots for 2 reasons. First, the B1B does not make a great AI aircraft because it has trouble taking off in the runway distance. I would imagine it has to do with the vast flap settings. Second, the B1B in these shot crashed into a farmer's field shortly after I took the last shot. As soon as the burner's stopped, it dropped from about 5000' feet to the ground in about 4 seconds and disappeared as soon as it hit the ground. It sure looks good though and not a bad hit on the framerates!

I hope you enjoy and comments are encouraged!
Thanks
Eric

Nice screenshots there... great resolution and depth!!! It almost feels like I've got 3D glasses on.

Where can I pick up that lovely bomber from?

this will fix it for you  ;)

Thanks for the replies.

Lemoncat, thanks for the info. I e-mailed I3d about that yesterday. I couldn't figure out how to fix it myself, but they responded quickly and indicated it would be fixed in the soon to be released full update model. Thanks though, I will give this a go in the meantime.

Amazing shot quality, I love that AI

Well done

Jonathan

Geforce, thanks for the nice comment

Lemoncat, your cfg contact point entries worked liked a charm. The old B1B is as good as new!! (see below)

Thanks again
Eric

That is very nice and looks beautiful.  Could you post a link to it because i am struggling to find it.  Thanks.

it sure looks nice, but still doesn't fly nice  :( even with the FS9 update, it's till uncontrolable in flight on my pc  :-/

i'll keep on waiting until the new,improved model arrives.

Hey there Mr Bones......what problems are you having with it when you sai its unstable?

Hey there Mr Bones......what problems are you having with it when you sai its unstable?

after take off, speed drops to zero and she goes into a spin i can't get her out of...no matter what flap setting, weight,...

thanks for the update on the contact points.

Eric, try using a 747 FM and CFG, just copy your B-1 info and copy it over.
