Angry  I think they stopped allowing downloads of the B1B from the website and FS PLANET sucks. They stole it and I can't get it from there! I guess I gotta wait now until this weekend when they release the upgraded version that works with the MICROSOFT Sidewinder joystick.

It's been uploaded to flightsim.com - I'd imagine you can still get it from there?

If its FFB, turn off the Force Feedback option.

I just got it from AVsim.com and installed it! Unfortunately my initial take off was a failure Undecided! She ran down the runway full throttle taking forever to reach 125 knots. Then The tail rudder started wobbling all over the place Shocked! Then she went straight under the ground and crashed! Cry. Which is the problem I think everyone with the Forcefeedback Pro 2 controller is experiencing  Sad What happened  ???! I think I am going to wait on the upgraded version before I try that again! But it is a beautiful plane! 8)

Uh blade if the FS98 B1b sound file is the real deal, I think I want to go with the original airliner sound file! It makes more noise! Grin! Also why is it when I pick up speed my screen starts to dim then when I slow down it brightens back up. I don't see any afterburner effects either! What gives Undecided

By their own admission, I3D aren't experts in the field of flight dynamics. They've produced a fantastic plane visuall, but until they get the update sorted, there are going to be a few problems.

In the meantime, you could always do a search for stb1b002.zip (a version from a few months ago by Shigeru Tanaka) and take the airfile and aircraft.cfg from that and drop it in to the new aircraft folder.

I've yet to do it myself and it may or may not need a little adjustment to get it right - I suspect not, but I think it would certainly serve as a short term solution.

8) Hi again guys,

I don't know if the "G" force effects was active. I am going to check that out. Maybe when I installed the aircraft, the program activated the G force effects. I normally have that feature turned off.

Changing the airfile and the cfg with that older B1b! nah I don't think I want to do that! i can hold out for the upgrade. I just got my f16 repaired and I am having a ball flying my American Airline 737 with the Cockpit announcement keys. Grin I can wait !

The plane visually is a beauty! This is the B1b I have been waiting for the longest! At last it has arrived! Man I don't what I would do with out you guys! This forum is very useful! Cheesy

Thanks for the 411 Whitey! Grin The double take is well worth it!

Ah, sorry about the double post...AOL doesn't work too well in conjunction with these forums... Roll Eyes

If you haven't got s FFB joystick (they're the dearer versions of the Siewwinders which shake about and stuff), you also have to use your Center1 fuel tank as a weight ballast.  Use 50% in your Center1 tank than in your Center2 tank.  Try it out at 50% in all the tanks except the Center1 tank.  Put 75% in the Center1 tank. Wink  That helps to keep a nose down attitude.  This is the way in which the crews fuel the real B-1Bs. Smiley

BTW, what's a 411?
