This is hysterical. If you watch my episode of Newsweek Unconventional flying in the B-2, you’ll see that the jet I flew had black ice air fresheners in it. Something people freaked out over. It would appear MS incorporated those air fresheners into the sim! Too funny!
Yep, that video was actually quite helpful for us when modeling the rear cabin of the aircraft. Nice presentation too, thank you! As far we know that's the only published public photographic information about the rear area of the aircraft. Sure would have liked more details!
The systems modeling and sounds for this are nicely done. I was hearing actual B-2 crews were involved in the development of this model and that much of the non weapons, and ECM items of the flight deck are declassified, so that's kinda neat.
You can do some looking around with VR and DCS. Each view is basically an unlocked view. Wing view? Stand up and look around and walk a little to view different things. It’s wild
I worked on the B-2 for a few years. Visually they did great. I think the textures look a bitch patchy though. The real aircraft is far more uniform in color. Should also be way louder. Contrary to some stories people tell, you absolutely can tell when a B-2 is near you because they are loud as shit. Would love to see if they got the heat tiles right.
The sound pack is quite loud - just not full volume during the video. Put on your headphones and turn up the volume and you'll be bleeding from your ears just fine. Four f110 derivative engines = loudness. Interesting comment on textures. Would be curious where on the aircraft you notice this. We had beta testers who are also B-2 techs and maintenance and they didn't raise this issue.
Not when they're in silent mode. Also, not all B-2s are the same - at least a few have been modified with exotic power generation like the Navy does with some of their subs.
You flew this with the Fly by wire disabled, because of water rudder & a compatibility issue with airshow assistant. Just press water rudder again and it will enable it.
Vivitar has a B-1B Lancer for MSFS 2020 it can be bought on SimMarket... it's currently not in the Microsoft Marketplace. It's mediocre from what I understand, I personally enjoyed it for FSX
@danielh1708 I know that... but giving a bomber the name "Spirit of America" is more strange... bring death and destruction is the spirit of America... nice.
Excellent . I suspected this Spirit lacks personality, and I am right. I see no reason to pick this one over Vulcan. But I know this a quality product, thanks to your review Military aircraft started in msfs a way to steal money from xbox kidz. But this has changed. I know I was negative on your IFE Tornado review 4 months ago. But with latest sound update and a 250 page manual I changed my mind. Will purchase it today. Now I am flying Inibuilds T33. Excellent aircraft after update. Flies long range cruise (VOR nav) no AP, rock steady.
Very helpful review. The range of the airplane is impressive but ejection seats are very uncomfortable and the human posterior was not designed to occupy one for 6000 miles. I don't think the toilet would provide much respite. Perhaps a LazyBoy recliner in the back would help.
@intothebluesimulations...I know this is a Billion dollar+ aircraft, do you think there are actually wires hanging out above the flight instruments on the flight deck? Seems strange to model them.
Yes, there are. And in one of the two public video presentations that shows the interior, there are far more wires and tubes exposed than we modeled. Especially in the rear cabin. Likely to allow more airflow / cooling.
Why these studios keep making the same planes? We have 2 B2s, 2 Trimotors, like 8 F-14s... there are other aircraft types in the world which are still not in the game you know...
Absolutely this. If I see another flipping A320 coming out I’ll scream. You’d think it would be easier to do different ones than the same, given the sheer variety of companies making these mods. Personally I’d like a bit of choice from the tail end of piston /start of the jet age. Imagine a DH Comet, or a Vicount, VC10 or a Trident?
I also don’t see why these big companies such as inibuilds and just flight etc feel the need to make planes that about 5% of all players know about or have a single interest in buying/flying! The Sim would be a much more used game if the likes of major companies created well known aircraft such as the c5 galaxy, c17, b52 and many others! Not some random prop plane that was created in some blokes garage in 1978 😂
I'm normally not a big advocate for military aircraft in the sim, as DCS handily outclasses anything available in MSFS, for obvious reasons. With that said, the B-2 is one of my top 5 favourite aircraft of all time, I couldn't not buy it, it's quite good fun to fly.
My absolute pleasure, Vic - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Many thanks for your generous donation. Much appreciated and all the best to you! : )
Very impressive. Does anyone know how these studios figure out all the details of flight systems and workflows? Are they guessing or else how do they find out?
some is educated guesswork, but we also got input from b-2 maintainers and pilots while developing this product (within the limits of what they could legally share). So it's not too far off the mark where it matters. The tactical systems are complete mysteries - no public info about those.
The "FCS" warning is an indicator that it won't work properly, unfortunately. The flight characteristics become more "Twitchy" and "Loose" and it means you can roll, pitch and yaw freely. I uninstalled the airshow assistant, because it ruined the flight characteristics of the B-2 too much for me personally.
AirshowAssistant do not affect aircraft performance or avionics during flight, only while contact to the refueler. Toolbar reset water rudder value to 0 before each flight once to make this hotkey functional, but aircraft developer didn't expect that and rely on default value.
@@TouchingCloud No, there’s a conflict with this aircraft. Airshow assistant doesn’t directly affect it but the B-2 uses water rudder to enable/disable the FBW, so with airshow assistant installed you’ll spawn with FBW off. This is fixed in the upcoming B-2 update.
To prevent the billion dollar bomber from being stolen by the enemy it might have it's stealth features turned off by default and can only be activated by a series of codes from the commander, co-pilot and mission control during an actual combat exercise. It might also have an auto self destruct if it strays into unauthorized airspace or flight plan.
Lots of research into the publicly available information and some help from B-2 pilots, engineers, and maintainers (within limits of what they are allowed to share).
I really don’t know why companies waist time making military aircraft on a civil flight sim. If I wanted to fly a military aircraft, I’d go play DCS or something similar. Good looking aircraft tbh, but could’ve had that effort used to make some other aircraft. A good job editing and I love your 3rd person cameras throughout the flight. Sounds of the aircraft are very important to me. I’ll have a perfectly good aircraft but be so annoyed that it sounds bad or even has the copied sound of another stock Microsoft aircraft. Makes it annoying to fly bad sounding aircraft.
Your reviews never disappoint. Thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort to review this intriguing aircraft.
This is hysterical. If you watch my episode of Newsweek Unconventional flying in the B-2, you’ll see that the jet I flew had black ice air fresheners in it. Something people freaked out over. It would appear MS incorporated those air fresheners into the sim! Too funny!

Probably had those poo in the suit devices for the pilots 🤮
I went in a B-1 last year and it had a cherry Jelly Belly freshener.

Loving the third person static view you have added to your takeoff/landing replays in recent videos. Fantastic addition.
Yes, absolutely! How do you get those shots, what recording program do you use? Very cool!

Ground crew chief: “did that ferry flight just leave with a full carousel of mk83s on it?”
Ordinance crew member: “urrrrmmm”
Better than a live nuke hanging under the wing... *ahemMinot... 😄
lol
😂
As a DCS guy, the ability to walkaround makes me jealous! Beautiful bird...
You can always eject and walk around lol
I wish they would put bombers in DCS.
@@slickdiggler1197 Does the Mosquito count? I believe there's a team working on the Lancaster. But I agree I'd love to see some. The B1b gets my vote.

We need the Lancer
B1 lancer is probably my favourite military planes, would love to see it in sim.

inibuild just released B1 lancer today
Blackbird simulations are currently developing a flight model for the bone. Not much info on it right now as it’s still in the early stages
I was born at palmdale :) my step mom runs the f22 program at edwards afb. :) good to see my home town shown off
Thanks for this nice addition. Happy landings !!!
What an amazing video! Thank you for your attention to detail.
Great video and a tremendous insight to this unique aircraft!
Thank you for another wonderful entertaining appraisal... I can always rely on you to test the aircraft properly.... Roger... Pembrokeshire
Bloody Brilliant Old Chap!
Great overview maybe should’ve waited a few more hours as they’ve just dropped a big update for this plane
Nice work showing us inside
I have to say, I miss the roar of the Merlin from your intro! Great review as always though!
Thank you Sir. ❤ as always no greetings from my CC.😂
Calling a heavy bomber "Spirit of America" is exactly the humor I like 😂. Still a pretty good video. ❤
That's the actual name of the aircraft. They all carry names.
@danielh1708 I know that... but giving a bomber the name "Spirit of America" is more strange... bring death and destruction is the spirit of America... nice.
not sure why but i really liked the black ice freshener in the cockpit lol and the "Spirit of America;
Nice video! I don't really go for these latest generation military jets, but this B-2 is very interesting.
I’m the exact same, so I went ahead and bought it and absolutely love it. They’ve dropped a big up there as well just today.

When you take off out of Palmdale, you should buzz over Willow Springs Raceway...
Very helpful review. The range of the airplane is impressive but ejection seats are very uncomfortable and the human posterior was not designed to occupy one for 6000 miles. I don't think the toilet would provide much respite. Perhaps a LazyBoy recliner in the back would help.
The b-2 has so much spirit when it drops bombs spirits appear after 😂
I have to admit that was a good one
as always very entertaining video!
What you need is your best pal to share in Multiplayer. There are TWO crew on this Airplane.
With seven sharing, they can fly a Lancaster.
Great content as usually. Thinking about to buy it but not sure yet.
Taxi lights & landing lights are on the gear. Assuming that's why you got a master caution on gear up. Getting hot in the gear bays 😁😁
I miss the Aerocommander series from FSX...Those were very good aircraft...
B2's have the cutest butt. I love the little pointy duck tail elevator.
I'm just wondering what functions military aircraft have in the MSFS? Is it really just taking off and landing?
Watching this, I reckon I could hijack and fly one of these bad boys for real!
Damn that's so awesome! But I thought that B-2 systems are all classified, what is this sim based on?
Really cool, is it going to be available for 2024 as well?
MW2 Radio i love that
@intothebluesimulations...I know this is a Billion dollar+ aircraft, do you think there are actually wires hanging out above the flight instruments on the flight deck? Seems strange to model them.
Well, the military has always been more concerned with functionality than aesthetics.
Yes, there are. And in one of the two public video presentations that shows the interior, there are far more wires and tubes exposed than we modeled. Especially in the rear cabin. Likely to allow more airflow / cooling.
the EFB has a g3000 built in
I bought the B2 and it´s awesome but is there a checklist with the pictures of the button mentioned and where it is located?
TH-cam needs smell-o-vision so I can get the full effect of Black Ice B2 Freshener.
Talk about detail, even have magic tree airfreshners😂
Just start it and Fly the Damn thing!!

Is the back ground radio chatter part of MFS or have you added this
he added it
Too bad the sim wont let you drop a nuke from the B-2
What a fucking cool plane ! 😊
Thanks

How are you doing the walk around? Where is the hanger add on?
Very impressive. Does anyone know how these studios figure out all the details of flight systems and workflows? Are they guessing or else how do they find out?
Of course they guess.

The tablet has a G5000 on the second knob and you can open the microwave.
forgot to check air freshener module
33:15
Hold on, let me take a 💩 for a while.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is MSFS trying to compete with DCS now? Last time I played with it it was all Cessnas and commercial jets.
is there a view of the interiors behind the seats? i can't mansge to see how it's made inside
I realy wish these planes were being developed for were they would actually be useable
How on earth are the avionics & systems even modelled?
Is it ‘best guess’ by the devs, I thought this aircraft was still highly classified?
3:13 toaster - empty and off
Is the mid air refuling another add on or does it come with the b2 bomber
I just bought this and their f-22. I hope these addons are compatible with mfs2024
How did you spawn into the hangar at your first airport?
Hey sir, where can i find the Plant 42 Test Centre scenery?
It's actually a Groom Lake scenery, video is just edited look like it starts at P-42.
How to walk like that around the plane ,or you are just using the camera?
What’s your KPMD scenery?
B2, the "Woblin Goblin".
Can't fly without computer control. Doesn't need a pilot.
how do u set it up for refueling?

How is this not giving away military secrets? I could imagine China and Russia studying this simulator tech extensively.
Those modules are always based entirely on declassified documents and knowledge. There is absolutely nothing in there that they dont already know.
Whats the source of the background ATC/radio?
Is this airport in the base sim or is it freeware/payware?
Where the toilet at?!! Spirit drivers say the best features of the B-2 are the bed and toilet 💩🤣
while tempted i dont think a Ps5 Controller is guna be ok with a B2 xD ima stick to the F22 xD
How do you start it up i cant fly a plane
Ok mines isn’t working I just bought it and the screen wasn’t showing up for Xbox
Can I ask what the Blue simulations mean?
You love the sound of your voice don't you...
How much of this is speculative? B-2 is still partially classified.
Nice but everything looks too nice, perfect and clean. A more realistic look of everything would be cool
Based on the photo information we have, they appear to keep these birds pretty clean and tidy. Pride of the fleet?
I’ve always found echo 19 external sounds to be loopish and not realistic. I tried them for a while and then uninstalled them from DCS.
We haven’t done work on our “FREE” mods in a long time. 99% of the rest of the simulation community disagrees, but thank you for your input

La musique d'intro vien de battlefield ? Quelqu'un aurait la ref svp ?
So a nice looking model & sounds; a product for the xbox crowd
Oh come on. It’s one of the most secret and classified aircraft in the world, were you expecting a study-level plane?
B-2 in MSFS must be scam! How to simulate a highly restricted plane?
Lots of research into the publicly available information and some help from B-2 pilots, engineers, and maintainers (within limits of what they are allowed to share).

Can't wait until a sale on this bird. We give them a pass because we will never have the real flight model. I love your channel.
It makes sense now. The only purpose for this 'wing' design was to hold tons of fuel for long range. Has nothing to do with stealth.
The first one.😊
❤🎉😊
Do you speak as if you're on a radio all the time!
My PC has better cable management than this cockpit.
which part of the video do you refer to?
Sad sad man. What would happen if she were a he? My anti skid marks slip, gear handle up, post close comms if.
Very boring. Try a Lanc for the need for pilot prowess.
When did any of this get de classified
