I don’t see anything?

Nobody can see. The only way to know whether it exists is if you could see the pilot when he was boarding:

According to TopMachStudios facebook post …the Spirit will not use WASM like their Raptor. So it should be easier to convert to xbox.
Kinda unrelated, but is there progress on the B-2 Spirit? I saw a post way earlier about that in the thread. I am very interested in that bird…

We’re waiting on the draft of the 3d model to be completed. We’ve been working on gauges, flight model, etc… We are targeting late fall / early winter for release, before the Xmas holiday season. Stay tuned!

Ok, nice. It won’t have Garmins in there, will it? 
Those kinds of things always kinda kill my interest in military aircraft.
No, it’ll have a full suite of custom avionics including functional MCDUs and, likely, Tacan navigation.

It’s looking incredible. Another reason Xbox players will be envious.

I’m probably not going to be able to resist buying this unique (well, almost, sorry B-21, sorry Horton) bird, despite knowing in advance that it’ll never be a Frequent Flyer.
Still, even though it’s not really suited to the sort of flying I generally do, I’ll make sure I get my money’s worth out of it.

I will be buying this and I’m very happy with me about resisting the very strange Kwikflight spirit, those skateboarding liveries were a big warning.
The only thing I don’t like about this B-2 is how the cockpit looks in terms of wear, colors and textures, it feels too plastic maybe too clean. This is a very common problem in many military aircraft for MSFS so I guess it is difficult to get the right combination. The Vulcan by JF is a good example of how a cockpit should look and feel.
I don’t know here if the non-black colors are too saturated, if the panel backgrounds lack some texturing or should be darker.
…but we know how the cockpit smells at least..
Lol ..in the preview there has been a Black Ice air refreshener hanging around in the cockpit… Nice.
So this is a High Tech Stealth Bomber. It’s the Most expensive aircraft in the World. Why shouldn’t it look Clean.
The cgaviator video linked above include a brief video of the real aircraft’s instrument panel while in flight. The Top Mach version is a close match. These aircraft have flight decks that in fact make heavy use of plastic - and are well maintained. They don’t look like barn finds. Heavy cockpit weathering is often overdone.
I have the currently available B-2, on Xbox. For me it satisfies but yes this new one looks nice. Tho I wish, as usual, devs made new aircraft vs replicating
Yep, it also felt a bit clean for Chris. I guess it can be ok. The night illumination didn’t look very nice, I would have liked red or green lighting and I don’t think the real aircraft only has regular white lighting for the cockpit.

Fair enough - though with modern hardware, it’s a difficult balance to strike.
About lighting - you may be right about color choices. But how would we know?
I don’t think we can find out but it would be strange to have a long-haul military plane with only white lighting available in the cockpit. It is not good for night vision and these bombers tend to operate mostly at night so it makes a lot of sense to have red/green lighting available.
