I figured i may as well get this started.. I'll use this thread to update everyone on my progress as we move along...
To get things rolling, i thought i'd start with a little entertainment, that should help clear things up in the technological/political fiasco that surrounded this plane.. I hope you all enjoy..

Hi Pam,

When I was a very young person in 1946 and lived at the time near Hawthorne and a number of time got to see one of the flying Wings take off was always black all over the runway after the wing went past. In fact in those days the runway was part of Hawthorne Blvd. In order to take off the Blvd was brock off with wire gates in order for the big planes to take off. As long as I live I will always remember those times.

Sounds like when the Swiss air force uses some of their runways that come out of the mountain cave/hangars. Roads actually cross the runway and they have what looks like railroad gates to stop traffic!

Oh boy, the XB-35! I have the N9M which works great in FSX and have longed for the full scale realization! With all the X planes the Air Force Museum has it is a pity not one of the large wings (XB-35 or 49) was saved. Same thing about the P6M for the Naval Museum. Even textureless, I'm already loving the VC!

Heh Josh?? Where may i purchase the N9M?? I would like to see how its characteristics match with my own.. I'm trying to decide if i need to lessen the weather-vaning at all, or if i have it fairly close..

I just picked up the file zip; I'll see what we've got, what it needs, and report back. The N9M! I should zip that over into X, gotta have a trainer.

I think I got it over at Flightsim.com or Rikoooo. No purchase needed. It's also a Piglet Product. (It might even be here.) It's in the FS2004 section wherever it is. (A quick Google search should find it pretty quick.) Works perfectly fine in FSX Gold except you need to adjust the display size or you get a giant black bar across the bottom of the screen. It flies great just as the big version should! Can't wait to see it! As far as handling they should be nearly identical as the XB-35 is just a scaled up N9M. The test pilots stated as such. Not sure about asking for permission since they're both Tim's work, but you could use the .air file from the N9M in the XB-35 if it's okay to do so.

So I jumped back into work with both feet at o god its early in the morning this morning. Seems i left the FDE a mess. all the numbers were there, but they didnt work.. I think its time to quit for the day but ya know, its like breathing. Its just not that easy to quit..

.. I was able to get a lot under control, but some old deficiencies in my knowledge have popped back up to haunt me. The plane has a problem and i'm lost.. The image below tells the entire story..
Max RPM is set to 2700
Maax MP is set to 50in..

please bear with me as i offer my forhead to the table top as a sacrifice to make this work ::LOL::...
