FSX Rockwell B-1B Lancer Update

This is an update for FSX of the Alpha B-1B bomber. Includes updated flight dynamics, addition of the other four wheels, added pitch trim and another autopilot to the panel so you don't have to try and figure out the autopilot that is with the aircraft, and changed the size and position of the GPS. This is the whole aircraft. By Bob Chicilo.

Unzip to a folder of your choice. Copy the aircraft to the main FS airplanes folder.

The new autopilot toggles with the compass icon.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=141.00
full_flaps_stall_speed=116.00
cruise_speed=mach 0.92 //at 40,000 ft. or at 200 to 500 ft. (290 indicated at 40,000 ft.)
max_indicated_speed=950
max_mach=1.5
max_level_speed=mach 1.25 //at 50,000 ft. (316 indicated)

The aircraft can be flown at cruise speed and altitude at up to 16x time compression. Over 40,000 ft. you will have to go to 8x or less to hold a course without the nose bobbing up and down. While at 40,000 ft. and cruise speed and over 4x time compression, the nose will bob up and down while turning into the set course. I did not check to see at what height the nose would not bob while turning using more than 4x time compression.
