B1 Madness

[congo]

Just a quick beer delivery to the hard working lads in the gold mines. Wewak to Telefomin via the Lost World.

"This is gonna cost you!" I said on the phone.

Well after a couple of those big bottles of XXXX heavy, I was feeling like a bit of fun.



Weeeeeeeeee !!!!!



Now, where is that strip. (seems I'd neglected to

Seems that not only did you take a jaunt through the Lost World, you smashed yourself right into the Next One!

Watch those landing speeds!  Might hurt a little . . .

[Mr. Bones]

nice shots!

Nice bit of flying there congo, bit of a bugger about the landing though....

I am sure that this has been asked already, but where can you download this B1???

[Travis]

Cherokee, my bet is that it is this one for FS2000-

Hey Congo!  Do you have the Lost World airports?  If so, how did you overcome the missing scenery files (the buildings are all from CFS2)?

Cherokee,
Ender_Baron cant be serious........i hope

This B-1B 'Lancer' is available from...........


Hmmmmm. Have a guess.

[Cherokee_6]

Awesome...thanks

Okay, fine, you're right.  The one used in the shots is yours (I just flew the one I posted).  Although I have to make a point.

For some, taking up many tens of megs for a single a/c is not a viable option--many just don't have the room, but for those who do, more power to ya!

I personally can't convince myself to download that B1-B.  My FS is on a different computer, which is a stand-alone (my dad is a freak) and so any a/c that I download must be either below 1.25 Mb to fit on a single 3.5 diskette, or I must take apart the files and manually add them together into seperate zip files and then transfer them over, then recombine on the other computer.  I have asked my dad repeatedly if he would let me network, and the answer is always a flat no.  Oh, well . . .

Hey!

I have downloaded the B1 successfuly but I cannot get her off the ground!!!

I cant seem to get enough speed.
What am I missing? I have full throttle on but it just slowly builds up speed...

Extend the wings (1 notch of flaps)

[Cherokee_6]

Extend the wings (1 notch of flaps)

Then how do you get afterburners to light?!

Thanks

[trevyuk2001]

Cherokee,

I am assuming you have read the manual.........lol
There is a support page on our website that will answer all of your questions regarding the B-1.
But to get you going..........to engage the afterburners.....press Shift + F4.
Flaps......for take off. press F8 to fully extend the flaps then press F6 to pull them in a notch.
Trim the tailerons a tad to aid in lift.
release brakes and she should accelerate slowly, remember, this is a big mutha of a bird, its not a cessna.
At about 160kts, start to rotate, she will climb like a swan......

Hope this helps

I would have to agree. I did DL the B-1b and its great, however, making a "stripped down" version is not a bad idea. Eye candy is great, but making a plane for those that just want to fly and dont care about a VC, or what the passenger cabin looks like, or a working bomb bay in a game that there is no need A good example of this would be the family of Meljets. His planes look awesome, but for me, I could care less about seeing the toliet or the seating. When I modified the B-52 into the EB-52, I removed most of the interior stuff. This improved the framerate a great deal. The B-1b is a great addition and its not a bad fps killer for me, but a "lite" version would be cool also.
