Announcement from Virtavia about B-36

Do you have the current Virtavia release? I don't see the AI folder that was part of the previous AlphaSim release. I recall that only the H model was available as an AI model in any case; not the B.

Yes, I do. DL'd the new Virtavia version, when released. Noticed that there was no "AI" version, as advertised. Emailed Virtavia. Got the model emailed to me ASAP. It is in the FS9 version of the installer only - per Phil.

I've tried to install, and use it in AI flightplans, but it never shows up. IF I take those same AI flightplans, and add the ITO FS2002/FS2004 version of the "36", it shows up just fine. So I know its something with the model file somewhere.

I just noticed that in one of the book reviews, the reviewer stated that most of the material in "COLD WAR PEACEMAKER" comes directly from the other book "Magnesium Overcast." So now I don't know if it's worth spending the money on "COLD WAR PEACEMAKER."

The "COLD WAR PEACEMAKER" is 240 pg , gloss print , b/w photos galore - inside construction , plant plans - all variants , not sure what "Magnesium Overcast" has to offer but other book "Convair B-36 A comprehensive History of America's "Big Stick" by Meyers K. Jacobsen , a whooping 400 pages in the same superb quality gloss print , colour photo section in the back to the break down of the weapons and development , bomb load and types to all XC-99,YB-60,NB-36H and R&D programs , crew story s and inflight photos and some scary stories and another called "Convair B-36 - A photo Chronicle " which is paperback of only 88 pages also by by Meyers K. Jacobsen .

Pity we were'nt neighbors , we could have swapped to compare and looksie to see if worth buying the other .
 
Got to rummaging around and discovered that when the Big Stick was released in 2004, it was priced at 16.00.

Now it's $25?

Hmmm. What accounts for the 38% increase?

Following the FS9 version back in 2004 there was an FSX rebuilt release in 2007 and this new release improves upon that. But don't ask me how, I've never had any of them. You probably should read the entire thread.

Also $16 worth of anything in 2004 is probably closer to $20-something in 2013 anyway.

I once stood under an RB-36 at Castle Air Museum and I have never seen anything so big! :salute:
 
I did read the thread, and found that the opinions were all over the place as to whether there had been any upgrades, which is why I asked.
