    Definitely looking for a better copy with clear, sharp photos and drawings.

    Or here is a direct download link:

    www.airwar.ru/other/manuals/%5baviation%5d - %5bmanuals%5d - XB-35 Pilot%60s Handbook.pdf

    Or here is the link to the rest of the library with even more interesting literature:

    even though I looked at the manuals posted here, but I didn't find the function of this tower, it may have escaped my eyes, can anyone help?

    English is not my native language, I ask your indulgence.
    Correct me, if you will.

    Looks like it's right off of the crew's quarters. Walk-in shower? Pee station?

    Its the rear gunner's station with aiming equipment.. I've only ever seen one picture that showed multiple machine guns in the stinger position.

    Very nice! Showing the upper and lower guns and the equip. to run them! I would guess no one in their bunks would be getting any sleep with those things going off!

    Piglet

    Piglet did a smaller flying wing, an A-12A, with VC. Needs Acceleration for gauges.

    This FSX model has VC, folding wings, opening weapon bays, and opening refuel probe.

    I had to revive the topic because I've had this project on hold for years, and I think it's best to leave it here in case anyone wants to finish it, I animated the entire interior and added windows for gauges, I mapped textures that can give color and life to the internal model, I think it's a model beautiful and must be properly finished

    If you have any questions, please contact me, thank you very much

    I have followed this thread for years. I wish I had the modeling skills that would be necessary to help.
    It certainly is a great piece of work. I can only imagine the difficulty and time it would take to produce a version for MSFS.

  18. #168
    I am also on MSFS and this resulted in the project being stopped, I even intend to put it on MSFS, but as my Aero Boero will be a convert, it will not be 100% functional

    I think that you will find that the file at flightsim.com is based on an original XB-35 by Kazunori Ito rather than Tim Conrad . . .

    From Simviation: Microsoft Flight Simulator Addons

    The original Readme states..
    'The FSX Flying Wing is the last Piglet Peculular Plane, a developmental
    model Warchild was flying to set upe the FS flight flight dynamics.
    This un-finished model was retained by Pam after Tim retired. Some years latter,
    Model by Tim 'Piglet' Conrad
    Flight model: Pam "WarChild" Brooker'

    & Michael Pook's readme in the same folder...


    CREDITS
    Credits go to the late Tim Piglet Conrad who unfortunately wasn't able to finish the model and to Good Olde General Hand Grenade,
    who has made it possible to improve it. So a special thanks to him.

    Flightsim has Michael Pook's mod of Kazunori Ito's XB-35 dated July 2014.

    Yes, it may be based on Ito San's model, but it's obvious once you go inside that the modeling is not Ito's. By this time in his life Ito's eyesight was failing and the detail seen in the interior was not (in my opinion) anything that the master modeler could have accomplished.

    The model as it is right now was started by Tim to a point that Pam could get to work on the FDE. Once Tim stepped away it was left as you see it in this model that Michael Pook updated
