Need a 101B

[Deleted]

Does anyone have an idea where I can get a good F101B Voodoo. I Have an urge to crawl around one, as I used to do. I tried Alphasim- Virtavia free downloads, but nothing there really 'grabbed ' me.  They had the  SQN and RCAF colours but, I'm leery of their products.    

                  Oh !!!  BTW!!!!!!

                                         HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.

Pretty limited... All available appear to be various versions of the basic Alphasim FS9 models.

Edit: Whoops, just textures at the link below ...

FS2002/FS2004 McDonnell F-101B /C / RF-101C VooDoo The F-101 "Voodoo" was designed by McDonnell Aircraft Corporation as an all weather fighter interceptor for the USAF. The prototype first flew on March 27 1957, and was fitted with the MG-13 fire control system with automatic search and track mode. Intended originally as a long-range escort fighter for the Strategic Air Command. It was no longer needed in this role when the B-36 bomber was replaced by the B-52. Accordingly, the F-lOlA was adapted for multi-purpose interceptor/fighter-bomber duties and subsequently was delivered to the Tacitical Air Command. The all missile armament was carried internally, and included the Falcon air-to-air missile and Genie nuclear warhead missile. It was an F-lOlB that flew the USAF's first supersonic radar intercept on June 9, 1958. This aircraft is made by FSDS Ver.2. Full moving parts such as opening of the canopy and drag chutes etc. are contained. The panel and the gauges are not included in this file. by Kazunori Ito. 2.6MB

This is an update for FSX acceleration of the F-101B Voodoo by Kazunori Ito. I have updated the flight dynamics and given it a panel. No virtual cockpit. You need the original aircraft for this update to work. Bob Chicilo.

Thanks Sandy. I'll have to some more digging I guess. That update for FX sounds promising.

Like most century series fighters, the Voodoo was a great looking plane! Too bad there isn't a more updated version for FS.

Yep!  you're right.

I was with a 101B sqn in the RCAF.  years ago and remember them with some great and not so great, memories.    One of their traits was the 'pitchup'?.  it did in quite a few  crews before a cure was found for this characteristic.

   I well remember seeing the first Voodoo that survived this maneuver, and it looked like a giant had grabbed the tail assembly and the nose area and then twisted in opposite directions.  The horizontal stab was no longer  horizontal and there were great wrinkles all along the fuselage from front to back.   How it got back to CYYB said a lot for the skill and luck of the crew.

Have you looked at this in the SOH library?

The Voodoo is another example of a classic cold war fighter jet which seems to be forgotten by the FSX developer community. My attempt to make the Virtavia Alphasim Freeware Collection FS2004 F-101 Voodoo "One-O-Wonder" usable in FSX is available at the Warbirds Library now, there are 2 files:

Part 1: F-101C and RF-101C with USAF paints by DaveQ and falcon409
Part 2: F-101B with CAF/USAF ANG paints by DaveQ

Actually there is no such thing as a "Good" F-101.
(Adequate at best)
