Secret Shuttle UFO

Recommended Posts

Hello gentlemen,

 

Back in 1994 a few friends and I flew to Las Vegas for a week so we could enjoy a vacation and spot some aircraft coming from Nellis, as well as perform some other activities :wink: . At that time, I was aware of Area 51, Groom Lake, Dreamland, whatever you wish to name it. So a few days went by and I talked to my one buddy about camping out at Rachel a few days to see if we could spot any "Black" aircraft that might be testing in the vicinity, although we knew the likeliness of this occurring would be extremely rare. We did see a few aircraft in the area, mostly your standard F15's and 16's, but it was neat to see some activity around there anyway. Probably the highlight of that occasion was at dusk when we thought we saw a triangle! A few years later, though, we learned that what we saw was in fact a B-2, so unfortunately, we didn't see the "Aurora" or anything of that type. Nevertheless, it was an exciting experience to see a then secret aircraft! 

 

Ever since I learned about GL and top secret projects and aircraft being tested, I've been following it nonstop. Alright, enough with this background info.

 

I've been familiar with MSFS since FS98, and have been hooked ever since it ca,me out. I was always wondering about the day when Microsoft might incorporate this controversial entity into one of their sims, so when FS X was introduced, the airport I immediately looked for was, well, you know. And to my surprise there it was! Sadly, there were no saucers or triangles parked out back, but it was cool to know that they at least have it exist in their sim! 

 

When I played the Secret Shuttle mission, I was really impressed, and Microsoft's rendition of a "black project" aircraft was really interesting! Here is my question. I was wondering, how do I make the triangle craft  flyable? I know it is possible, because someone made a flyable mother ship from the mission "High Altitude Intercept", so there is a way to do it. I would gladly do it myself, I just can't seem to find the files so I can start tinkering with them.

 

I am a big fan of the TR3B project, or anything that has to do with a triangle UFO, so if someone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advanced!

PS, I have the original boxed version of FSX, with Acceleration installed, and I am running Windows 7 Professional.

It's a mission object and cannot be made flyable. You would need to design an aircraft from scratch.

Hello Jim,

 

I apologize, as I should have been more specific. I am not trying to fly as if Microsoft would have made it flyable, I am just trying to put the textures over the Boeing F18, so it looks like the UFO, but I am having a hard time doing that. I have seen it done with the mother ship from High Alt Intercept, so I do know that it is possible, I am just having a hard time doing with this UFO. I apologize for not explaining my situation more specifically. Thanks
