F-35B Completes First Vertical Landing At Sea

Is this simulator available on home computer software?

Hmm... I was going to write PC but that seemed incorrect. Maybe HC for home computer just as HT is for Home Theater.

I seriously doubt it. The code is written deep behind the closed doors of Lockheed-Martin.

I have flown a number of their simulators, all different, and they are kind of tight lipped about the software details.

There is a consumer program called X-Plane that has a few F-35B models, but I can't say to what degree of accuracy they might be now. I tried an early version a couple of years ago to use as a means to demo our flight controls, but I did not feel it was representative of the simulators I have tried by Lockheed. However, I would expect that the real flight characteristics are held pretty close to Lockheed's vest.

So, you might want to look up X-Plane. You may find it fun.

AWESOME! Hope you can do it for real, someday! How great to have access to a Lockheed sim.

Chances are very unlikely. Long ago the military would do things like that, but after the mishaps like that sub crashing into a boat in the Pacific the military has all but totally eliminated civilians to ride in any machines.

Cool!!!

It's funny. When I was watching the youtube video, a pop up add came up, partially blocking the screen, for some Rosie O'Donnell trash TV show.

Nice to see the Colonials catching up . Maybe Fleet Air Arm will buy a few for those empty carriers....

Gotta make a fresh mug of tea now.

BTW. With all our defence cuts and the PM making daft "we're all in it together, lets make Britain great again" speeches, I'm just waiting for the next round of obscene bankers bunuses to trigger more rioting and strikes in time for the harshness of winter... (Now having said that, will I get a knock on the door from the Bill for incitement)
