This will be the airplane of the year for whatever year it comes out. Hopefully we get it in 2024 and I cannot wait to fly it in the sim.
This was my dads favorite aircraft during his career in the Air Force. 1969 - 1989 I cant wait to fly this beauty in honor of my father. Rest in peace dad.
It’s everyone’s favorite aircraft.
wow! this is absolutely incredible modeling and details! the sr71 has always been special to me. i stood next to one many years ago, and it was such a humbling experience to be in the presence of something that looks like it came from another world and knowing that humans built it. a truly spectacular piece of engineering, and i cant wait to fly if myself, even in a simulator. awesome job you guys❤
Absolutely stunning model. Well done to the entire team.
I’ve been waiting impatiently on this!! It looks absolutely spectacular!! PLEASE for the love of everything I’m BEGGING release this on Xbox also. I had the privilege of seeing one at Wright Patt last year. I would love to fly the skies in the baddest bird ever created!
I asked if it would be coming to Xbox a couple years ago. Krazycolin said as long as WASM came to Xbox, then yes. As you probably know, WASM has since come to Xbox, so I believe we will indeed be getting the SR-71!
@@JBAlternate This brings joy to my heart! Thanks!
I’ve been up close to a dozen blackbirds and this is amazing level of detail.
Wow, the memories! RAF Mildenhall,UK 1982-1990 provided security for this beautiful aircraft daily. Every time it flew it was a jaw dropper to see. It leaked like a sieve while taxing but sealed in flight. 😂😂 And when it returned traffic would stop just to watch it land. Loved it then and your model looks absolutely gorgeous. Great attention to detail!. The air shows were always packed just to see this beauty on display and fly. Awesome, thanks for the memories!
I watched them many many times at Kadena Air Base on Okinawa during my Air Force years when they were assigned there. Always a thrill to see one. Can't wait to see this released. Great job.
really can't wait for this. Looks amazing.
Looks phenomenal - texturing is on point!
Amazing! Blackbird making the SR-71 - nothing short of perfect will come out of this endeavor!
Can't wait for it to release. Outstanding work!
Looks incredible! I'm glad that you guys at Blackbird are working on the SR-71, and that you're making it such a detailed experience.
stunning. Can't wait to fly with her and do some high speed Sparky moves. Great work.
My favourite plane growing up. Appreciate the super detail you guys are putting into it. Looking forward to the Huey soon as well.
Awesome video - atmospheric production and editing!
You guys deserve every dollar you make on this plane well done!
Very nicely done so far!!
Looks outstanding. Can’t wait to fly it.
Wow......some amazing work there. Just gorgeous 😍. Well done.
I cannot wait!
Probably a day one purchase for me. Will go nicely with my B-2 and F-117. 😊
Wow it looks amazing.
Oh yes! It will be mine! Awesome work guys!!!!!!!
My favorite plane along with the F-104. Blackbird is the only reason I would buy a sim again.
Great Job! Could you please check the font used in the "U.S. AIR FORCE" and "USAF" lettering; It is not the right one; fantastic job! Can't wait!
@@tpr2410 Many different fonts, liveries, and stencils variations were used over the years. We’ve tried to get as many types in play whilst covering all of the SR-71A’s that flew.
@@Blackbirdsims copy that! thanks great job
Wooo! I can’t wait to buy this!
Wow… 👍👌 …. Modeling and instruments look fantastic. Please keep it up, this will be one of the best aircraft for the flight simulator.😊👍
YESSIR! Awesome. I can't wait.
All I can say is WOW!!!
For me once I can get in the cockpit of this bird, no other plane will exist in my mind for quite awhile. All time favorite plane that I think in the past some teams have done "ok" with, but this is a love letter. Please be great.
it looks absolut amazing
Beautiful😍
I can't wait to use this...
Let’s go!👏🏼🔥
you got all the switches right *and* did worn paint. So cool. You could and should print out a 1/3 model in Zcorp resin plaster. FTW.
Probably got mr metal at Boeing... so maybe we makes you something model shop type... for those shots with parachutists doing puppet wires / everything is cheaper with robotics
Thank you for bringing this perfection to us. S U P E R B model + memorabilia. This will be the 'Blackbird Simulations' Crown Jewel of the SR71 reflecting the "Blackbird" name!
really nice
Oh she's gorgeous and its coming to xbox... Just go ahead and take my money😉👌
I need this!
I was a bit disappointed that it was over a Year out, but this definitely reignited my interest. Still......can't wait.
@@Chris-qw1mf "Someone misinterpreted a state of sim comment to have it out 2025 Christmas" That is almost verbatim what was said in the state of sim, Colin said "We're hoping for a Christmas [pause, hand wave] 2025 release, it will definitely be going into 2024 probably not into 2020", if he missed an "Or" then he miss-spoke, not a miss-interpretation, especially considering the comment about not making it for 2020 would mean they would have less than 2 months of official time to develop for the new sim if they aren't allowed to develop in the dev build they have. 6:50 in the SoS video.
I might left DCS and come to MSFS just to fly this aircraft, it looks really great ... wonder if you will model the rear crew cockpit too, or it will be just a pilot's aircraft.
man if only we had this in DCS, the flight model would be insane and we could actually dodge SA2's over the USSR and do recon missions with it
looks awesome. can't wait for the release. Will it be on MSFS 2020 or 2024? I haven't purchased the new game.
Retired AF, and this is my favorite all time aircraft. Will this be VR ready?
I am extremely excited for this one. How arw you planning to implement the air refueling with the tanker being in the mission? Will we be able to set where the tanker is, and its flight path, or how will that work?
In DCS the tankers all transmit a tacan beacon so you can find them, I assume the tanker for the SR71 will too. I am just wondering how we would set the mission up for a flight.
Too bad they didn’t implement the front cockpit map projector. It’s the gray square just behind the control stick. I used to load the maps before flights.
i am more into dcs but this looks great, will buy it for sure. But what can i do with it in msfs instead of fly from A to B? are there at least some non combat missions like do some recon missions?
I have the best SR-71 for fsx. When this comes to msfs I will finally buy msfs if it turns out well. Looks like it will.
Will there be rear cockpit
Unrelated to the Blackbird, but I'm just super curious on if your guy's F-4 is going to be on the Xbox as well (if you guys are still making one)
We try to make everything that lands on MSFS compatible for both Xbox & PC platforms :)
@Blackbirdsims Awesome,vwas just curious. I've been itching to have another Phantom in the sim and available on Xbox too at the very least. You guys would be one of the best devs to make one! 🤌🏻
When is this releasing.
Is there an estimate release date?
Is there any update???
I've stepped away from msfs until this is actually released...
2:00 i should call her
HAHAHAHA!! No...don't do it.
Does it have an autopilot?
Gonna make it a release on Xbox also right??
Will this finally be available for MSFS2080? 😂
@@greenranger2764 sheesh.
Why not in DCS?
Because dcs is very limited in its map size. This plane was made for long range high altitude at Mach 3+.
We've stated this in the past - we'd love to do business with DCS and have reached out to them multiple times in the past. Unfortunately, they don't seem interested :) Fingers crossed this changes in the future.
hey man.
Would you like to get in the real one, and we can get it sweating fuel on the runway for real and in your shaaaaders...

B1 and F14 does me fine for the moment / IRL / ANON u turn me
