I just read an article that said the B-1 was released. But as usual, many content writers never mention if it’s on marketplace or Xbox. Anyone know?
Moved from Forum Navigation.
That category is for articles on how to use the forums.
Same here i know that neither
Here:
Since everything gets postponed and delayed in order not to get in conflict with SU15. I would even pay for a stripped down lancer. I would even buy a msscenery B-1B on Xbox marketplace. Just to get the lancer. Dear Developers please could you bring your B-1b for Xbox.
Note for anyone noticing the current description that says the aircraft has a subsonic limitation. Another developer reached out to Virtavia to assist them in modifying their code to support the supersonic nature of the aircraft. This is presumably coming in an update.
I reached out to the developer and they said they hope to make an Xbox version
Since they fixed the supersonic limitation in today’s update, I picked it up
There are a buttload of switches in the cockpit that don’t do anything, but it’s a $20 aircraft, so I can forgive it not having insane levels of systems simulation that aren’t really that useful in a civilian sim anyway. The important stuff – navigation (ILS, VOR, autopilot, etc) – is there, along with engine management. It’s missing a GPS (though I’m not sure the current GPS setup in a Bone is unclassified, and they’re definitely not using a GNS530!), but you can use the GTN750 add-on or the pop-up VFR map if you need to track your position.
Handling feels pretty good – big, heavy, and fast. You need some room to turn this baby around. Can now pass Mach 1 in afterburner, though the real B-1B flies a mostly subsonic profile. (The original B-1A was the truly supersonic version.)
Disappointingly, only one livery, but it’s well-done with nice detail. Hopefully the repainting crowd will add some variety.
It’s doesn’t rival, say, the Just Flight Vulcan for visuals or systems details. But it’s also $20, and I’d rather have a $20 B-1B in 2024 to have some fun in than have to wait years for a $40 version that has more visual detail and systems I’m not gonna use anyway… I’d like to see GPS functionality added, but otherwise, no real complaints.
Update as of today:
“The application for Marketplace went in yesterday, MS came right back saying it is 'being assessed”
Since the last 3.5 month were only the Vulcan and the Tigers released. It s time for some Marketplace releases…i guess the Tornado won’t make IT this week.
So everybody wants a B-1B.
Can you confirm the rumors if the b-1 is getting released this weekend or next I heard it’s probably coming
That I do not know
Rumors. Where are these rumors coming from?
Some flight sim community’s I’m in and other developers say it may come today or next Thursday
Sounds good.
That would be cool
Not this week looks like
New update as of today:
Just to let you know Virtavia now has been accepted onto MSFS Marketplace ! The models will now go through some procedures set by MS over the next days and weeks and hopefully should show up in the not too distant future. I do not know which order they will appear
Nice to hear. Let’s hope the Bone will be next on Xbox marketplace! What else is coming from virtavia …when you speak of “Models” ?
Do you mean other B-1b Models (liveries ??) or other aircraft?
Not sure. I inquired
