Virtavia B-29 Alternate Prop Texture

As title says. Didn't like the default prop so I made my own.
Based on and inspired by WOP props. Animation of prop is effected by your RPM settings.
Backup your default prop.dds found in the texture.shared folder. "Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Virtavia B-29 Superfortress\texture.shared"
Add my prop.dds, (attached), to the texture.shared folder, or (any texture folder of a specific paint if desired).
Let me know if you like it or could use some more tweaking. ;)

Thanks..looks real good!

One question,once it is in the texture .shared folder,all the repaints that came with the B-29 when purchased will have the new prop textures,correct?

Thanks again!

Yep. Works for all the defaults. Some repaints out there have had a custom prop texture included. Those won't be affected unless you remove the one that's in there. Not recommended unless you prefer mine. Always make a copy of the dds file you are replacing and keep in a safe place so you can revert back if need be.
 
Looks much better that the default props - thank you.

Have just heard from Phil at Virtavia that there's a small upgrade to the B-29 in the works. Several weeks away though due to commitments with a current project.

Regards,

looks good!
btw is it just me, or are those engine cowlings a bit flat from the front, especially the inboard engines?

Nope, not just you. This is one of the small niggles with the textures that was noted when first released. Along with the recessed windows around the cockpit. Overall an excellent model.
 
Sadly, Virtavia seems reluctant to fix the issues on the B-29, so thank you for stepping up and offering a fix for this rather eye souring bug.
 
J..

click on the file and when the window opens.. change the title from php to All Files then type the name you want to save it as plus .zip. Not sure why this happens here but it does:)

The prop animation is what kept me from buying the B-29. I was hoping for a volumetric 3d prop but only saw a wobbly stuttering disc.
 
Why did it take me this long to find these prop replacements here?? DUNNO :mixed-smiley-027:

But glad that this now finally fix a big annoyance
 
BTW Musicman........your alternate B-29 prop spin looks great on Piglet's Skyraider!!!.....thanks much for this texture!!!!
