Uuuuuuuuummmmmmmm..........................???
The virtual cockpit cannot be made.
It might be why.
It cannot be done though I want to add the gauge to VC.
Even if help of FSDS is read, I do not understand it.
It is sad.
It is reproachful that there is no language ability of me.

Oh !!, please teach someone.

And.....................

This time, I received the demand of making of F-35.
However, because material was a little, X-35 was made after all.
Moreover, the most famous B type........ ,But, the most difficult vtol machine.
Shape and movement of changeable engine and lift fan..........
Though it relates to Concorde Nose key, were other methods better?

1. [ Description of this aircraft ]

This is an aircraft that participates in the JSF plan that the United States and Britain jointly develop the attack fighter for the next term.
X-35A(CTOL) of the conventional take-off and landing type, X-35C (CV)of the type of loading onto warship, and X-35C(STOVL) of the short field take-off vertical landing type were developed.
X-35B was developed by repairing X-35A.
X-35B generates the buoyancy by the shaft drive type lift fan at the center of the body in addition to the varying type engine exhaust.
As a result, a steadier hovering and vertical takeoff and landing are enabled.

6. [ About the directions point in FS2004 and FSX]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9) and FSX(FS10).
However........!!
In FS2004.
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.

And........
In FSX.
Because gauges do not correspond to FSX, the gauges in the cockpit are not displayed.
Please you looks for a suitable gauges and setup Panel.cfg by yourself.
Sorry...............
