FSX I3D Rockwell B-1B Lancer Update

This is an update to make the I3D B-1B Lancer flyable in FSX. You will need the model and texture folders from the original (B1B.ZIP) by I3D design group or B1BLANCER.ZIP. This update includes a new 4:3 glass (fictitious) panel, gauges, sounds, kneeboard checklist, reference, *. air file and aircraft.cfg. It is complete except the model and liveries. There is a VC that was originally modeled, partially textured, and no clickspots, it is virtually useless. By Don Bodenstedt.

This is not easy to fly well. EVERY Speed change, Wing, and Flap/Slat setting will REQUIRE new Elevator trim settings. Changes in AoA cause different lift characteristics too. It WILL keep you busy on your trim controls! Pitch moments are the toughest to control. The Roll and Yaw functions behave similar to a fixed wing GA Jet.

Use the IAS/Mach hold at your discretion. If the Afterburners are engaged by the Autothrottle they will cause a looping condition. The Autothrottle will try to reduce the throttle setting but with the AB engaged it may stick at 100%. If that happens, turn off IAS/Mach hold and move the throttle manually to regain control of it.

The setpoint in the aircraft.cfg to automatically engage the Afterburners is at 99.9% throttle. My throttle will not go beyond 99.4% even after calibration, so I use F4 to engage Afterburners, and F2(or move my throttle) to disengage them. I really like it it that way! It gives me more realistic AB on/off control.
