X-Plane is famous for its "blade element theory" physics engine, which calculates forces on every part of the wing. b2 bomber flight simulator
The B-2 refuels via a receptacle on the top of the nose (flying boom method). In the simulator, this is infuriating. Because the B-2 has no vertical stabilizer, moving the stick left causes not just roll, but adverse yaw . You will chase the boom around the sky for hours until you learn to make "micro-taps" on the controls. Real pilots say this takes 50+ sim hours to master. : A slightly more accessible version available on
The B-2’s survivability hinges on its radar cross-section (RCS), which varies with gear position, weapons bay doors, and weather conditions (e.g., ice accumulation on leading edges). A simulator must model real-time RCS against simulated enemy radar, forcing pilots to manage their "signature budget" during a mission. In the simulator, this is infuriating
The sim should account for your Radar Cross Section (RCS). Opening the bomb bay doors or extending the landing gear should theoretically make you more visible to "enemy" AI radar.
