My guess is it's in Ghostriders B-29B package, the upload text says it contains several skins...

B-29B "Silverplate" Superfortress.zip

The B-29Bs carried only twin .50 calibers in the tail turret - all other defensive armament was removed to maximize speed. They brought Japan's industry to it's knees in 1944-45. Seven skins by "Sopwith Chameleon" and myself, and two blank...

Thanks UT. I checked and it's not there either. It really doesn't matter, but I have a bit of Tinian North field scenery that keeps calling for it. Funny thing is I re-named one of 'Gnoopey's 29s to that name and it still says it's not there. I spent a long time going through each page of skins and US aircraft and still can't find it. So it must be gone by now. Oh well.
 
Found this repaint in FS2004 Repaints for the Shockwave B-29? Closest I could find.

Apart from the Gnoopey/Ghostrider birds, & Sopwith or Morton skins, I think there's only the old VB Planes B-29, & I don't think they modelled the B-29B version...

& anyway all the models & decals I came across show her as a turretted B-29 & not a B-29B - must be some strange scenery package you have đź‘ľ

Boeing B-29 Superfortress "Celestial Queen" - B-29 Superfortress by Gnoopey

Tom "Gnoopey" Kohler's beta B-29 Superfortress bomber.

Although it remains an "in progress" beta plane, it is still one of the most refined B-29 Superforts available for CFS2.

I had the privilege of beta testing the plane in early 2004. During the testing process, Gnoopey suffered computer problems and lost all of his CFS B-29 files. As a result, I ended up with probably the last surviving CFS version of this wonderful model. With Gnoopey's permission and encouragement, I'm uploading...

The Celestial Queen had gone missing in action - she must have put down on Iwo Jima. She has now returned to base.

Dave "Jagdflieger" Brauneis uploaded Gnoopey's B-29 as well as some skins which are still in the library.

Perhaps the "B" was referring to "Beta".
