I'm not sure if this is what your looking for, but there's an outfit called GMX Media who just released a CFS3 addon called "Firepower".  The addon package has an A-bomb in it with effects.  Check it out in the latest copy of 'PC Pilot' or at GMX's website:  www.gmxmedia.net/firepower

You mean one of these. This is me flying off in the distance as my wingman nukes a target.

"Does it actually destroy everything in the blast radious?"

Yes - roughly about a 2km radius.  There are three abombs simulated:  The Fatman, LittleBoy, and Virus House (listed from most powerful to least powerful).

FirePower has re-designed all weapon data quite dramatically from the stock settings, while keeping gameplay in check.  When you get used to using 250lb bombs, then move to the 500, 1000, and 2000, you really get a sense of how powerful the larger bombs were.  Still, it would take countless hits from even a 2000lb bomb to completely take out a larger facility (as in reality).  Then you experience the 22,000lb Grand Slam carried by the Lancaster, and you can see how useful that must have been by just decimating not only large targets in one hit, but the area around it too.

Once you are all used to those bombs, then you drop a nuclear bomb, and can really understand just how powerful they are, even these WWII-era ones.  By today's standards, these three would be considered tactical nuclear bombs.

  Hmmmmmmmmm..............Looks like fun!!!

Anyone wanting to purchase FirePower should order it from the following site:

"Actually, the Grandslam was a pinpoint deep penetration bomb designed to get through 30 feet of ferro cement before detonating."

Absolutely - a choice weapon for sub pens.  All of this data is taken into consideration when creating the damage values.

Even general purpose bombs that exploded at impact had a much lower blast radius effectiveness than reflected in so many flight simulations.  We consulted with actual bomb blast test data of various weapons, measuring air pressure at specific distances, and then cross-referenced military values for different target types and materials.

Almost every target, vehicle, ship, aircraft, and weapon was matched up and tested against this data.

And I forgot to say, that second Atomic Bomb picture is absolutely superb. Its how a nuclear weapon detonation should look like. But one thing, does it air burst?
