FSX B29

Is there an FSX B29 to be had anywhere?

I find it hard to understand why there appears to be so little interest in this monster in the FS world.
 
I guess that would be something for A2A, since they already have the Boeing 337, which was based on the B-29.
Imagine a accusimmed B-29!


Cheers,
Mark
 
I have Gnoopey's (Tom Kohler) RB-50 and TB-50 beasties working well in FSX, and imagine his B-29 models might port over to FSX, VC and all.
 
There's a B-29 in the package we did for Xtreme Prototypes X-1.... Of course, you can't fly it... but you can drop from it.. (almost as good!)

I've thought about getting this package. Does this B-29 have multi LOD's like an AI plane, or is it a solid model that you just can't fly? I could use an AI B-29.
 
A2A did import their B-29 into FSX. The model, and VC looked pretty good, but of course from a systems standpoint it is non-existent. Still an excellent model though, and flies pretty decent. You can buy it from their website. I wound up getting it in some CD package of theirs I bought from Gamestop.. Got a whole bunch of aircraft with it for $20.00. I haven't seen it offered in years though.
 
Thanks Steve

Off to A2A website NOW then to see what I can find.

Not too woriied about lack of systems - just wanna fly it!!!!
 
Bah Humbug!

Unless I'm passing over it, I don't see a B29 in any of the A2A offerings.

Anyone else see it?

Cheers
 
I have the WoP Powerpack with the B-29, and it seems to fly pretty well in FSX.

I wish someone would do a "Fifi" repaint for her. One of my biggest thrills was getting a tour of "Fifi" when they were filming "The Enola Gay" at Davis-Monthan AFB in 1980. She flew right over my house on approch to D-M. They were doing T&G's with her while filming from a Learjet chase plane. It was amazing to be standing on the flightline and listening to her start-up. Gave me goosebumps!

The "Fifi" repaint for the original WOP B-29 is over in the Flightsim library.
It's under "b29fifi4.zip".
