Jan 22 : The Alphasim B-36 Peacemaker has finally been re-released as a Virtavia product. The usual vendors will be listing this great model package in the next few days. Both the B-36H and B-36B are featured. Both the FS9 and (native) FSX models have a 2D panel, old-style VC, sounds, illustrated checklist, 2 set of reflective textures, panel info images and a reame.txt which lists the keypresses for the animations.

According to the reply I got from the email I sent them - I don't think they have redone the panel.
 
Fingers Crossed , its a good eight years old now , they would have to do a lotta tidying up ... maybe its released as freeware more i'd believe .

If they haven't touched it since it's original release (at least the FS9 version) it should be freeware, but the statement says it will be released to the "usual vendors". That means it's gonna be payware.:salute:
 
I have the original and I think it was a port over. This looks like an extensive work over and I know at least the cockpit has been redone. If it is redone, the 21 euros is a good price. I enjoyed it when I had it.
 
Looking at the screen shots posted on simmarket, there are no changes to the original model. FS9 portover to FSX that's all. I purchased this model 4 years ago. Great exterior textures if not a bit blurry, but very poor VC. Excellent sound set however. Yes, it should be freeware by today's standards. Looks great in black and white. ;)

I believe an FsX native model was added later on.

Still a bit pricy though.. Maybe next big Virtavia sale..
 
I'm interested if something may have been updated in that my ALPHA B-36 Peacemaker FSX v2_1.zip file is 22.4 MB; and the current one at simMarket is listed as 26 MB for the FSX version. In any case my current AlphaSim FSX B-36 install is noted as "Convair B-36 Peacemaker for FSX v2.1" in the readme.txt file.

C'mon. Here's a riddle. What are the three main parts of a wood stove?
Lifter
Leg
Poker

That about sums it up.
 
I think it's kind of sh**y that the files are getting re-released and sold. Regardless if it be under a different name or not. That stuff is long out dated!!
 
Weird things is my interest with the type .. two large books on the shelf and a couple more lessor .. one off those types just simply due to its standing .. the procedure and the testing , i'm not even sure i have the full FSX 2.1 update but it would have been nice to see a rebuild .. its a lotta years old .
