WIP: XB-975 Stealth Bomber
-
Hello everybody
I’ve been fooling around in maya a little today and i finally decided to make a mod. so here it is in all its glory.
I present to the modding community for their viewing pleasure, the next generation in stealth bomber aircraft the XB-975 stealth bomber
This experimental stealth bomber will have the avionics suite and the carrying capacity as the modern day B-2 Stealth Bomber. The stealth package on this aircraft will also be like the B-2 but a bit more advanced. I plan to hopefully make the bomber able to jam enemy radar while it is flying so that any interception aircraft cannot try to lock it up and fire upon it.
Well thats all i have to say about the aircraft i hope you all enjoy and if you have any constructive critisim please dont hesistate to say it.

Good Luck

If I may ask: how do you plan on realizing this? If I recall right: this is already possible. Take a viper ’ up front ’ of your package(s) and let them fly ’ music on’
and the other a/c in it’s trail will be hard to spot by the enemy radar.Are you planning to expand on this effect? Or, with all due respect: only the next gen nice visuals?
High regards,

You do realize that active jamming would provide a traceable signal-source that would negate the benefit of stealth?

Hi Starstriker!
Sorry, not really constructive I must admit … but please … don’t :
Not really kind towards BMS friends spending a lot of time trying to develop something as “serious” as possible. Deviating BMS into a sandbox tool like Kerbal might not be really appreciated :neutral: (even if they do not say anything).
My 2 cents.
There are a lot of VERY good Spaceship sim available like Elite Dangerous for instance :

EDIT:
Let me be more constructive
If you are a good 3D modeler, there are a lot more valuable for BMS community like revamping some very old existing models like the Tu-95, or the AH-64 … etc … or SAMs/vehicles models … all those models are much more needed than experimental fictitious stealth bombers … maybe … if you like to add your stone into this adventure, maybe ou could consider something more valuable (?)
But in that case, please, do it the right way (take care about copyrighted materials) and coordinates with current BMS modelers to avoid to start a model which is already WIP, and pay attention to our policy about 3rd party development rules (IMPORTANT!).

And finally, let me introduce you some of our best contributors:
@ Dee-Jay Well thanks for the critisim, it does help. But honstly and this is just me personally i think there should be another stealth bomber in the game.
@FanofBMS432 I should probably edit my statement about the next gen avionics suite and and radar detection because now that i think about it im not gonna be able to do that kind of thing with the limitations of BMS
@Shadow Thanks i appreciate it -

Why?
The F117 and the B2 if working correctly in their respective tasks and if you see them only operating by night, knows that it is normal and on purpose (stealth).
Additionally, even if BMS would need (for some reasons) another (?) stealth bomber, the XB-975 do not exist, how to set it without drifting away from the simulation.
Finally … BMS campaign engine is not really made for last gen a/c … so all Stealth technology, and AESA radar (F-22/F35 etc …) are off and can’t work properly due to code limitations and ATM/database design.Unless you are just amused by playing the sandbox, there is not point for the global community. Too bad.
Cheers.
I completely agree with the above, what is the point of adding a non-existing AC on a simulation ? As said, a lot of existing AC still need some love….

BECAUSE LASERS!!!

Okay, okay guys i get it jeez.
I was only trying my hand at trying to offer something to the community. Ah well looks like my modeling dreams just died.
so i will try my best to maybe make a F-14 or the F/A-18 cockpit who knows.
Thanks for killing my creativity dee-jay and I3Crusader. (no hard feelings)

Both of those are allready in the works, so why not take DeeJays advice and work on something that is needing and upgrade?

Okay then, what should i work on upgrading?
what needs work is the better question

If you really look to create useful models, I suggest working on F-4 or A-10 external models. Create full models in BMS limits (i.e 30K tris max for LOD 0) with low level LODs and all, THAT would be really useful
Also there is of course a handful of ground vehicles that require a new model. If you can create some in the BMS limits, that would be awesome.

Thanks for the list and i hope that I can do some of these for you guys

Yeah F-4 will be awesome until the EMF to come out.
EDIT: OH MY GOD I JUST SAW THAT EMF IS OUT!!! SANTA CLAUS IS REAL!!!

Thanks for killing my creativity dee-jay and I3Crusader. (no hard feelings)Dont take it the wrong way, its just that, as DeeJay put it, the BMS team is focused on realism… so we indeed prefer realism to creativity
Humvees, LAVs and their variants, BTR-80 (for infantry fighting vehicules), M88 and MT55 (repair vehicules), chinese tanks (type 60 to 90), most ships (especially the russian ones)
AH-64s, CH-46 and 47, MD-500 for helicopters…
A-50 Mainstay and IL-76…
Or a U-2 / TR-1 if you are into spaceship looking aircrafts :mrgreen:

What about a F-302?
