I took the newest release of the B2 Stealth Bomber up for a check flight, but it appears to be a real frames killer in external views. Anyone else experienced the same with this aircraft?

Northrop Grumman B2A Spirit

The B2 stealth bomber has been developed during the 80's for the USAF (first flight in 1989) and is one of the most expensive project ever launched. 20 units were built and this very particular bomber is still in service. Original FS9 model by Ruggero Osto, adaption to FSX and 2D panel (no VC) for wide and standard screen by Philippe Wallaert. See instructions in the readme.txt file. Credits: Ruggero Osto for the model. Enjoy!

Strange... Could it be an engine smoke effect ? These are often FPS killers, when they are not programmed correctly. For exemple, the engine smoke effect in the very first version of the Section F8 Sabre had a terrible FPS hit, and it was often recommended to deactivate it.

No smoke effect visible, and I'm not tapping the I key to engage smoke effect.

Alas, maybe I'll have to go back to flying the Abacus B2? Hey, it is FPS friendly! Cheesy
