As some of you have noticed from my sig over the last three or four months, I have been working on a new SR-71 for Flight sim 2002/4. It has full animations, complete Virtual Cockpit modelled using the Pilots manual, afterburner effects a realistic flight model, moving intake spikes which also affect the flight performance all the way to Mach 3+ night lighting etc etc. Grin

I couldn't resist building a brand new SR-71, especially as this is the Centenary year and like Concorde we will never see this beautiful marvel of engineering in the air again..... Sad

Thanks for the comments! Wink

Gorgeous. How much will it be and how hard on the frame rates is it.

Oh yeah, does the avionics bay/tray extend and retract?

Weren't the tires white on these things because of the Aluminum imbedded in them to keep them from overheating?

BTW Habu, please keep the total size of screenshots posted in one thread to 500k or under. Massive threads like this tend to slow the forums down on the server if we get too many... Thanks.

Yes the tires had impregnated aluminium powder to reflect the heat generated by the airframe during the cruise. That combined with the titanium shroud which surrounded the tires within the fueslage made blowouts extremely rare! The front tires were protected from the heat by the aircrafts enviromental air system and therefore didn't need the treatment the mains had.

Sorry Pippin, forgot about the thread size, just got carried away! Roll Eyes

Torquestripe, those sensor bays are not animated in this model, but it could be incorporated at some point in the future!! As for frame rates, it all depends on whether you have max settings for ground scenery and clouds and of course what spec your system is.

Well you'll be happy to know Habu, I got your SR-71.
Took it out for a test flight over the Pacific today. And she did okay exept that I dont seem to be able to set the Nav radio, either by clicking, or from keayboard, but other than that is was a cool flight.

Gosh I'd forgotten how much different these types of aircraft fly,.................gotta be thinkin wayyyyy ahead! Shocked

Shocked

And found that I do think I will go to Bill Lyons latest modified water textures, the first ones look even funkier at 70,000 ft. Grin
