Virtavia B-29 Released

I just sent a note to Virtavia customer service to let them know, and opened a ticket with Simmarket.
 
Yeah, I just noticed that as well. I finally bought the Aerosoft Twotter as well, so I didn't notice the missing B-29 link at first.
 
I bought the Virtavia B-24 Liberator package from PC Aviator this week so I'm flying Libs around FS9 and FSX right now. I'll give 'em a few days to get the B-29 downloads sorted out before I feed my "big bomber" habit some more. The B-29 package looks really nice.
 
One 29 ... not quiet its only 11.36 here :cool:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
Just got it at PCAviator, and took a short hop from McChord AFB to Boeing Field. Impressive.

Wonderful job, Virtavia.

I just had to get this one as my late Father-In-Law worked on the B-29's including the Enola Gay.

Now I gotta go read the manual...
 
This is definitely a must buy next week :applause: I might as well wait at least for the PC Aviator 10% off tuesday as I have no time to fiddle with this beuty before that.
 
New Duxford version and B-29 - Sweet!

wow looks amazing :)

I think they had to put better preview shots in the product page.. I mean bigger ones to really show it off.
 
Was the cockpit really that green?

And how well are the engines modelled? From what I've read they were notorious for overheating and bursting into flames if not treated properly.
 
I've been in the cockpit of one and it's very well represented here... the green looks exactly like that IRL., and well as the color of the rest of the textures, including the seats. The real one has a fairly spare looking interior, with physical objects relatively simple in shape, also well done here, compared to much 'busier' looking cockpits in bombers developed a few years later.

It's nice to see the air ducting inside the cockpit modeled... that's something missing on older FS versions, very obviously so when you sit in one.
