SR-71 Blackbird Landing in FS2004

This is a landing of the excellent SR-71 made by Alphasim for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (and FSX).

The landing was less than perfect because of a crosswind-layer close to the ground, and I hadn't checked the weather report (I was just having fun)

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

@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.

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 :)

[clementwu03]

@yngvefoshaug Ah. Thanks for the correction and update.

[parisTDR250]

@parisTDR250 ok thanks

@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.

@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 :)
