AMPHIBIAN AREA-51's FLYING TRIANGLE the TR-3B (Tactical Reconnaissance type 3B) ASTRA LOCUST
used by the Government/Military for purposes of information gathering (spying) and special missions since the mid 1980's. Yep, believe it or not.



HISTORY

This TR-3B is the result of almost 2 years of experimenting with all sorts of TR-3B crafts on FS98, CFS2, FS2000 and FS2002 Pro. I have taken the best out of all, and put it together into the most multi-functional, versatile and fastest craft in FS2002.

This newly updated TR-3B has a superNAV panel with all the possible gauges (about 140 of them) for both VFR and IFR and ATC. The panel is the result of a study in cockpit ergonomics as to increase visibility to outside and decrease panel clutter.

I modified flight dynamics to attain speed of approx Mach 2.2 near sea level and Mach 4.76 at high altitude, hi-G turn peak speed up to Mach 4.95 in some cases. It seems that FS2002 does not allow any faster cruise speed than Mach 4.76, no matter how much thrust and how little drag, as I also found out with other airplanes. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know. Anyway, fast enough heh.



CONSTRUCTION


This FS2002 TR-3B model has been put together with FS2002 GMax. Special thanks to Milan Lisner for exporting the 3DS/gMax to DLL. I have added lights to give a sort of cosmosphere electromagnetic impulse engines effect to the craft.

The panel has been created with PowerPoint, Adobe Photoshop, MS Photo Editor and Notepad, and has a titanium look and is switchable to various shades of light, depending on the time of day/night.

The TR-3B airfile has been done with AirEd and Abacus. Its content has been cloned and modified from a variety of other airfiles. The large TR-3B is for medium to high altitudes. At low altitudes it should not be flown beyond Mach 2, to avoid buffeting.

The aircraft.cfg has been adapted to make the TR-3B an amphibian and to fine tune the flight characteristics. The TR-3B has fuel tanks large enough for long range flights around the globe at top speed. For example at 50% throttle at FL600 Mach 4.7 it can fly for 2 days without refueling. The aircraft.cfg done with Notepad and endless nights of coffee & experimenting.

The gauges are stock gauges and third party TR-3B gauges. I am sorry, I do not know the names of all the gauges inventors. I renamed the gauges (except the 747, Concorde and King stock gauges) by putting the suffix 'TR-3B-' or 'ufonics-' in order to preserve your originals.

The sounds are taken from various aircrafts, whose originators' names I do not know. None of the sounds are mine. I packaged the sounds together to get realistic TR-3B sounds. The TR-3B is in reality equipped with phantom (not the Phantom fighter) stealth and noise cancellation technology.



COMPUTER


This TR-3B has been developed and tested only in FS2002 PRO, but will most likely run in FS2002, provided that you have the stock gauges of 747-400, Concorde and King350 & Cessna (which you can copy from FS2000 Pro by the way).

Its operation requires a joystick with rudder capability (strongly recommended), and a 1024*768 screen resolution, high color is fine. It runs well on a 1GHz/512ram/32video machine, more is better.

This TR-3B has been tested extensively for hundreds of hours with FS2002 Pro on a 1GHz/512ram machine under Win/ME & DirectX-8.1 and works to the perfection. It's flight dynamics are superior.





THIS Area-51 TR-3B PACKAGE


Sorry about the huge big large fat enormous gargantic file download size, but now you made it ! Remember, it is for free.

This Area-51 TR-3B is freeware and I want no money for it. Please do also read the legal document ! All documents can be read through the kneeboard during flight, so please do not rename them otherwise the kneeboard will be empty

This Area-51 TR-3B is dedicated to Edgar Fouche, the Author of the book 'Alien Rapture'. You should read this book to get a good understanding of the TR-3B and other top secrets related with TR-3B technology and Area-51 & -52



WHO AM I


I am the author and owner of www.PastPresentFuture.info, previously known as www.AlienUFOsecret.com. My alias is Xeo Phi Beta.

I have been using FS95, FS98, X-Plane5, FS2000, CFS2, and now FS2002 which is my favourite. Various UFOs I have been trying since FS98, but now made my own, based on what I have learned from the other crafts. I have released my first creation, the AlienUFO package, and this TR-3B is the second creation.



For any compliments ;-) , you can find my e-mail address and guestbook on

www.PastPresentFuture.info ,

a web-site about real Area-51s & UFOs & conspiracies & top secrets. Please do visit this web-site, which is serious stuff and not really for entertainment though. It is not always nice to know the truth or to hear about things that you never heard about before.


WHO DESIGNED THE TR-3B MODEL


Edgar Fouche, the well-known Author of the book 'Alien Rapture', has been working and surviving Area-51. He is one of the few elite who have ever seen the TR-3B from very nearby. Edgar is the only one who has published many details about the super secret TR-3B. Lots of his information can be found in www.PastPresentFuture.info in the UFO Alien Secret section.

It is his 3DS model that I converted into gMAX, it is Milan Lisner who edited and converted the gMAX model into an MDL for FS2002, and it is me who put all the bits and pieces together in order to offer you this TR-3B package as freeware.

I ask you to visit www.galdepress.com/ar.html and to visit www.PastPresentFuture.info to read about his book, and to get ordering info. Please also visit http://www.mindsurfing.com , the web-site of Edgar Fouche who has developed a computer technique to improve your mind while surfing. Real cool. And again, read his book 'Alien Rapture'. Then you will understand why I made this TR-3B package for you.
