Wonderful creation. Thank you.
Any chance you might create the NB-36H? I can provide a good quality decals sheet if that would help. along with some useful pics.

And the XC-99 perhaps? :mixed-smiley-010:

Ugly, I know but might as well do the whole herd!

I really like the work you did on the B-36. When I was growing up in Maine I always looked up expectantly when I heard that low growl of a B-36 coming out of Limestone, the Loring AFB.
I may have missed something, but I find that your D and H models look like ghosts on my screen. The jets are gray but the fuselage and wings appear translucent. The A and B versions shine like I expected. In 10 years of simming I have not seen this effect before. The thumb pics look okay.
Must be a problem with my system, but I do not know what.

This past summer my wife and I visited the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Field in Dayton, Ohio. We saw a B-36 close-on and it surely is/was a beast.

I believe there is some scenery available for Carswell and Loring that goes back roughly to those days of the B-36 Bomber. I have it in FS9 but not yet in FSX, although it claims to work. I favor Loring, but Carswell dominated the scene in Strategic Air Command, one of my favorite movies.
Anyway, thank you for the great job you did on the B-36 vc and the versions.
