Virtavia B-1B Lancer

[scrubcutter]

Has anyone pruchased the Virtavia B-1B yet? I have only seen one partial review which isn't great, however it looks ok in the screens. I would be interested to see how it compares to other contemporary payware of a similar genre, before I part with US$39.00 for it!

Yes indeedo , had a few problems with the install using the Flight1 wrapper , it is nice , we have multiplayed with it , it is nice , still very ALPHASIM tho .

Thats interesting Ian. Thanks for the the quick reply (as always )

Now you mention it, I did see something on another thread, I've just been broadbandless for a week or two so trolling forums has been a bit of a mission.

What do you mean about 'very ALPHASIM'? The only AS I have is the Seasprite which personally I'm not a huge fan of due to a lack of functionality in the VC, including a motionless colective which I have not been able to determine whether it ever was meant to move or not!

Its a toss-up between the B1-B or the SDB (I've seen your screens for that and it's pretty tempting...!)

Might have to think about that one for a bit....

Mark , your a Christchurch boy , you can always stop in here and check it out before buying and or many more . Take a look at whats your choice .. cockpit function , well the best is not the B1

Mark, thats a good offer from Mr "try before you fly"....Ian has saved me some money in the past. (thanks Ian)

Awesome, might take you up on that Ian. I have noticed several times you have posted something about a new payware just as I had bought it myself. There are so many good aircraft out there now that even the good ones from a couple of years ago seem a bit mediocre by comparison. We're spoied for choice!

There are many superb aircraft models , Virtavia,s is Alpha s B1 , signature all over it , end off the day its your interest in the type , system operation s .. Capt-Sim now starts in this direction and dang the Herc is amazing but the one that rocks my boat is the A2A , the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser .. this one you have to be four places at once , really have to watch and adjust engine and really manage the aircraft .
