Some payware stuff is a bit pricey. Sometimes one wonders if it seems to be worth it. Sometimes one sits and waits for a sale or special that never seems to happen. Roll Eyes

So then one says to themselves, what the H! Undecided

That's what I did yesterday.

Been wanting a B-1B Lancer for a long time, but the price just seemed a bit too much.

Soooooooooo, shortening the story some, I petitioned the 'Director Of Aquisition and Finance' and got "approved" for the Virtavia Lancer.

All I can say is........it's frackin' awesome and kept me up til the wee hours! Shocked

A nicely constructed and performing craft all the way around!!!

As always, thanx for lookin'.

Almost forgot! Many thanx to all that suggested in other threads, notably Flying Trucker, the BDsizer program. Remarkably easy and efficient!

Great shots, U4EA....I've got the Bone from Virtavia also, AWESOME jet Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I'll hafta get back to ya on that one, need to read the manual first to take advantage of all the bells and whistles.

Still got the need for speed thing going on! Shocked

One disappointment though is that there are a few non-clickables sprinkled around the 'pit. But that is the ONLY disappointment, this thing is AWESOME!!!

Sorry bud, but lookin' at the copyright section it would appear that could edge into some sorta violation. Huh

Their sight appears to be undergoing a reconstruction. Perchance after they're back up your may be able to make contact and they'll send you a copy.

One more thing, the soundset on this gem is way beyond the quality and excellence I have ever seen from any other freeware or payware piece........take-off from the tower view is truly thunderous!!! Cool

Thanx!

I have been gettin' my money's worth outta the Bone!

Nothin' like doing just under Mach at just enough altitude to negate any 'ground effect difficulty'.

The effect difficulty is the best way I know how to describe keepin' myself from becoming a part of the landscape! Cheesy
