SR-71 Blackbird Landing in FS2004

[parisTDR250]

do you have to pay to download.please can you tell me where you download it from???PLEASE REPLY.nice quality of image

[yngvefoshaug]

@parisTDR250 I bought and downloaded it from Alphasim, but they don't exist anymore. Since you can no longer buy it, I don't think it can be considered piracy to download it for free.

You can check if there are any free versions of this plane on the web.

PS: This is the FS2004-version. The alphasim-plane included a FSX-version that I use now (because I use FSX, obviously).

Thanks for your comment, by the way. :)

@yngvefoshaug It's knows as Virtavia now. So basically Alphasim is in Virtavia.

[yngvefoshaug]

@clementwu03 Yes, but they don't sell the Sr-71. As far as I remember, Virtavia isn't a new name for Alphasim, but more a "spin-off" company. Anyhow, Virtavia has just three planes, of which I've bought the quite nice B-1B.

[clementwu03]

@yngvefoshaug Ah. Thanks for the correction and update.

[parisTDR250]

@parisTDR250 ok thanks

[BongleJongles]

ive tried a million times to land it but it just goes way too fast!!!

[yngvefoshaug]

@BongleJongles My advice is to practice on the really long runways like on Edwards AFB or maybe Denver Intl. or Munich intl.

Also, make sure you don't have a full fuel tank when landing. It makes it much harder :)

[pielordish]

how the hell do you see out of that thing



[yngvefoshaug]

@pielordish It isn't easy :). Just like the F-106, the SR-71 had a column in the middle of the window, which must have made them quite tiring when landing and taxiing i imagine :)

[zillajratomicray]

@yngvefoshaug I have the same aircraft, but sometimes the engines randomly turn of on me. I've noticed that it's usually when I'm climbing to fast, but I'm not sure. Do know what's causing this? I find this aircraft to be a little to challenging for me. I was wondering if maybe you could post a full flight with captions or something for us newbies.

[GhostHawk76]

why you Landed ! why you didnt fly to HIGH with very HIGH speed then back down vertically with that high speed and hit the ground and let see what can happen then hmm !

[yngvefoshaug]

@GhostHawk76 Because just crashing is too easy :)

[southwest1998]

Was this freeware?

[yngvefoshaug]

@southwest1998 No, it was payware from Alphasim, but they have shut down their website, so I don't think you can get it anymore :(

[tatercito]

How can you look like that around the cockpit ?...i just hit 6 4 8 and 2... yo watch around ! THX

[yngvefoshaug]

@tatercito I use TrackIR by Naturalpoint. It is a bit expensive, but if you like flight simulators, I can highly recommend it because I feel it's much easier to look around with it. It takes a few hours getting used to it, but when you do you'll never go back :)

Thanks for watching my video :)

[tatercito]

@yngvefoshaug oww nice... i´´m gonna look for some info about this add-on Thx mate =] !

[nandansho]

Hey can I add the SR-71 to the SimulatorX version?

[yngvefoshaug]

@nandansho The SR-71 by Alphasim comes in both FS9 and FSX versions. When I bought it, I could download both versions, and as I upgraded to FSX, I could simply install the FSX version :)

[opsymon12]

nice job man I have FSX Gold edition it is coming to my channel on october 10th

[jancam555]

how do the gauges work so smoothly for the VC in fs2004.

wen i do the VC my gauges suck and they keep pausing

[yngvefoshaug]

Some addon planes are better than others. Also, I think you can increase the gauge update speed in the settings. I don't play fs2004 anymore, so I can't check it ;)

[counterkillerdeath]

Where do u download all these addons from plz tell

[yngvefoshaug]

The SR-71 was bought from alphasim co uk . The rest is standard FS2004. TrackIR head tracker bought from naturalpoint com

[yngvefoshaug]

Hm, someone posted a question here, but I accidentaly removed it instead of replying... Ask again if you want to, my fault :)

[9T6Q]

awesome dude

[yngvefoshaug]

Thank you :)

[PilotAllTheWay]

What are your computer specs? Nice vid!

[yngvefoshaug]

This was my old computer this video was created on: Pentium 4 3.0Ghz, XFX Geforce 7800GS (AGP), 2GB RAM.

I have recently bought a new computer, but haven't made a lot of videos with it yet :)

[euamovideos]

Ok, I've got it "yngvefoshaug"! Thank You!!!

[euamovideos]

What do you do to open the parachutes?

[yngvefoshaug]

Use the "spoiler"-button in Flight simulator. :)

[f0xstrike]

Yeah, very nice landing...I have the same model from alphasim, I absolutley love it. Those guys really know what they're doing when they make these planes. Did you use an IR head tracker? if so what model do you have? How do you move from side to side so quickly in the VC mode?

[yngvefoshaug]

Yes, I use TrackIR 4 from Naturalpoint. It's a bit expensive, but once you get used to it in flight simulator, you never want to go back :)

[yngvefoshaug]

I bought it from Alphasim, a creator of aircraft for Flight Simulator. It was definitely worth the money, because it is so much better than any of the stock aircraft in the sim. Also, much better than any freeware aircraft I've ever tried. :)

[BR4DL3YY]

how did u get that download for the sr71

[duggs95]

as you said, wasn't perfect. but still pretty good landing in a plane as hard to control as the blackbird.
