Notes on sim limitations & noteworthy features
Whilst the B-1B has been built with the upmost level of accuracy, and made to take full advantage of
every current technology available to the sim, we at Virtavia have still had to contend with the hard
coded limitations of the sim engine.
Noteworthy features:

The exterior and interior models feature many custom animations.

The cockpit is modelled in ultra-realistic detail and features full night lighting textures & effects.

Included are 8 beautifully detailed paint schemes each with customised features and flight crew.

FSX DX10 compatible model complete with interior self-shadowing, realistic spec and shine, and
custom bump mapping to bring every rivet and surface to life.

The cockpit Vertical Situation Display is realistically implemented with several modes of
operation.

Various exits and entry hatches are modelled:

-
Shift + E + 1 will operate the crew entry hatch and ladder.
-
Shift + E + 2 will operate the main bomb bay doors.
-
Shift + E + 3 will operate the aft fuel tank bay doors.
-
The main exit and bomb bays can also be operated by clicking on their respective
warning lamps, located on the main warning light panel in the virtual cockpit.
-
See the Failures section of this manual for extra information.
The TTO function can be used to set the wings and flaps to take off configuration (see page 33).
Limitations in FSX:

Lights can appear to differ in position when viewed from different viewpoints, such as the tower
view. This is a documented FSX issue, and not an issue with the model.

The B-1B will begin flights with a full load unless specified otherwise.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The Rockwell B-1B "Lancer", affectionately known as the "Bone" to its crews, is a key element of the
American Strategic Long Range bomber fleet. A development of the cancelled B-1A, the aircraft - while
not technically stealth capable - still presents a fraction of the radar profile of the B-52 and incorporates
extremely advanced navigation, weapons, and avionics systems. Its swing wing technology, combined
with four 30,000-lb thrust turbofan, engines creates a beautiful, fast, and lethal package.
Page 6 of 37
1.2 Installation
An easy installation is provided by way of installer. Simply double click the installer EXE file, and follow
the on screen prompts. The B-1B will be installed to the default FSX directory.

3.0 Aircraft Information & Specifications
3.1 Aircraft information and specifications
The Rockwell B-1B "Lancer", affectionately known as the "Bone" to its crews, is a key element
of the American Strategic Long Range bomber fleet.
A development of the cancelled B-1A, the aircraft - while not technically stealth capable - still
presents a fraction of the radar profile of the B-52 and incorporates extremely advanced
navigation, weapons, and avionics systems.
Its swing wing technology, combined with four 30,000-lb thrust turbofan, engines creates a
beautiful, fast, and lethal package. The development of this successor to the B-52 began in the
early 1960's and resulted in a contract being awarded to Rockwell in 1970. The B-1A first flew in
1974 but soon ran into political trouble.
The project was cancelled in 1977 when only 3 prototypes existed. 1981 saw Ronald Reagan
order a fleet of 100 B-1Bs, the last of which were delivered in May 1988. Designed for low-level,
high speed penetration, the B-1B saw action in the Kosovo conflict and second Gulf War.
Specifications
Max speed:
826 mph / Mach 1.25
Service ceiling:
60,000 ft.

5.0 Aircraft Systems and Operation
5.1 Introduction & Miscellaneous Systems
This section of the manual details individual systems and their operation.
5.1.1 Wing Sweep Inhibitor.
If the landing gear is deployed whilst airborne, the wings cannot be swept back past 30 degrees,
as indicated by the wingsweep gauge. If, whilst airborne, the wings are already swept back past
30 degrees and the landing gear is deployed, the wings will automatically sweep forward to the
30 degree position.
5.1.2 Master Audio Cut-out
Pushing the Master Audio Cut-out button will turn off all radio and marker identification
sounds. The button is located on the top left side of the forward panel.
Page 23 of 37
5.2 Vertical Situation Display (VSD)
5.2.1 Introduction
The VSD is a comprehensively simulated gauge. By default it is turned OFF. Left clicking the
mode knob will cycle backwards through modes. Right clicking will cycle forwards.
5.2.2 Contrast Function
The VSD can be dimmed for night operation by using the contrast knob to the left of the turn
and slip indicator.
Page 24 of 37
5.2.3 Flight Director Function
When the flight director is activated, a target crosshair will appear over the pitch and roll
ladder.
Page 25 of 37
5.2.4 MODE- ADI
The default mode is ADI. This displays basic information.
Central to the display is the pitch and roll ladder. This acts as an artificial horizon.
Along the top of the display is a progressive gyro heading indicator, above which is a digital
readout of the current exact heading.
Page 26 of 37
5.2.5 MODE- TER FLW
TER FLW mode builds on the ADI by adding a digital speed readout in the top left corner, and an
altimeter readout in the top right corner.
Page 27 of 37
5.2.6 MODE- TER AVD
TER FLW mode builds on the ADI by adding a digital speed readout in the top left corner, and a
radar altimeter readout in the top right corner.
Page 28 of 37
5.2.7 MODE- ILS/ AILA
ILS/AILA mode displays a digital course deviation indicator along the bottom of the ADI. If a
glideslope is available, a similar glideslope deviation indicator will display along the left side of
the ADI.
Altitude and airspeed indications are also visible in this mode.
Page 29 of 37
5.2.8 MODE- TEST
TEST mode displays all available functions, along with the text ‘TEST’ in the bottom right corner.
Page 30 of 37
5.3 Trim System
5.3.1 Functionality
Left clicking trim switches will apply a negative value to the trim. Right clicking will apply a
positive value.
In order to prepare for take-off, the Trim-Take-Off (TTO) button should be pressed and held
until the TTO display indicates a green ‘TTO’ icon.
The TTO system sets wings fully forward with the flaps fully deployed and retracts the spoiler.
The process will take 30 seconds to complete. Any control input or trim system changes will
cause the TTO to require a reset. The system will only function when the aeroplane is on the
ground.
Pitch trim is to be manually set using the white knob located atop the left of the VSD.
Page 31 of 37
5.4 Engine Control Switches
5.4.1 Functionality
Left clicking a control switch will cause it to enter the START position, and spring back to RUN
after the engine start sequence has been initialised.
Right clicking the switch will cause it to go to the OFF position, cutting the fuel to the engine
and thus shutting it down. The switch will stay in the OFF position until bought back to RUN
using the left mouse button.
Page 32 of 37
5.4 Autopilot
Autopilot controls can generally be operated by clicking the gauge fascia. Left clicking will
decrease the selected value, and right clicking will increase.
5.4.1 Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)
Autopilot functions are engaged by pushing the Switch-light buttons on the Automatic Flight
Control System panels located beneath the outer cowling of both the pilot and co-pilot. When a
function is engaged the lined-through blue text of the function will turn off and a green text
version will appear.
5.4.2 CMD - Command Mode
This is the autopilot master switch. Selecting it engage wing and pitch levelling.
5.4.3 ALT - Altitude Hold Mode
When Altitude Hold Mode is selected the system maintains the current existing altitude. A new
altitude setting can be established by flying the aircraft to a new altitude and re-engaging the
function. The selected altitude can be adjusted by clicking the “altitude selector” window,
located below the vertical altimeter to the right of the VSD.
5.4.4 NAV - Navigation Mode
When Navigation Mode is selected the system will enabling automatic tracking of a VOR, GPS
course, or localizer. If the left selector knob of the Vertical Situation Display (VSD) is set to NAV
the aircraft captures and steers towards the VOR course or localizer tuned on the active
frequency of NAV1 on the centre console. If the left selector knob of the VSD is set to GPS and a
flight plan is loaded the aircraft will track to the next waypoint.
5.4.5 HDG - Heading Hold Mode
When selected the system will adjust the aircraft heading to whatever is indicated on the
Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) gauge below the VSD. Adjustments can be made using the
knob in the lower left corner on the HSI. The selected heading bug rotates around the compass
ring on the HSI.
5.4.6 APR - Automatic Approach Mode
When selected the aircraft will steer to follow the ILS localizer and glide slope signals from the
station tuned into the active frequency of NAV1 on the centre console. Selecting ILS/AILA on
the VSD automatically engages the Automatic Approach Mode. It can be manually disengaged
by pushing the APR switch-lights.
Page 33 of 37
5.4.7 SPD - Airspeed Hold Mode
When selected the system maintains the current existing airspeed. Clicking the display window
will allow adjustment to be made.
5.4.8 MCH - Mach Hold Mode
When selected the system maintains the current existing Mach value. Clicking the display
window will allow adjustment to be made.
5.4.9 LOC - Localizer Back Course Mode
When selected the Localizer Back Course Mode enables automatic tracking of a localizer back
course for instrument approaches. This works like the Automatic Approach Mode (APR) except
the glide slope is disabled and the autopilot's response to a localiser signal reversed.
Page 34 of 37
6.0 Failure Systems
Two unique scenarios covering engine failures are built into the B-1B package.
The failures menu can be accessed by going to ‘Aircraft -> Failures’ via the header menu whilst
in game.
6.1 Engine Failure
If ‘Engine Fail’ is selected from the in-game failures menu, a series of events will occur to
simulate just that. This will include illumination of relevant lamps and run-down of the turbine
itself.
Lamps that should be monitored include the hot oil warning, high vibration warning, and the
master caution panel cluster.
Page 35 of 37
6.2 Engine Fire
If ‘Engine Fire’ is selected, a series of events to simulate an engine fire will occur. A proper
sequence is to be followed in order to extinguish the fire.
Should a fire occur, the relevant engine fire light(s) will illuminate. Smoke and flames may
appear from the affected engine. First push the relevant engine switches to the OFF position.
The fire extinguisher system should then be utilised by first selecting the correct engine pod.
The extinguisher system has two supplies- MAIN and RES, either of which can be selected.
Once a supply and pod are selected, pressing the FIRE warning lamp will attempt to extinguish
the fire and shut down the engine.
An audible warning will also sound should a fire occur. To cancel the warning manually, press
the Master Audio button, located atop the front left panel.
6.3 Hatches & Entries
Should a malfunction occur with the hatches, or they simply be left open, the master caution
light will illuminate. The exit-unlocked lamps will also illuminate red and will blink.
The amber exit-unlocked lamps will illuminate when an exit is open and unsecured.
6.4 Pitot Heater
The forward warning light panel contains pitot heat warning lamp. The lamp will illuminate
green when the heater system is turned ON and amber when turned OFF.
Page 36 of 37
If the outside air temperature drops below 5 deg. C, lamp will illuminate amber. Once OAT
reaches zero, the lamp will flash red and Master Caution will illuminate. An audible warning
tone will sound should the system not function correctly. To mute the sound, press the Master
Audio button, located atop the front left panel.
The pitot heater switch is located on the overhead panel, forward right side.
