Anyone know of a decent B-29?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

For FS2004....

A2A Simulations/Wings of Power "World War II Bombers & Jets" has a very nice -29 in it.

For FSX.....

with this sim, just forget about a decent -29, and go for the a2a sims B-17 with Accusim.

B-29 is out of print, no longer available. I would like to get the B-17 eventually, but I would rather have a 29.

Try looking at your local "Best Buy" stores in your area. That's where I picked up my copy.

Uhh, small town, no Best Buy. We do have Walmart and Office Depot though.

Have you tried Shockwaves?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Do you mean looking on the A2A site for the product or posting a question on the forum?

Shockwave and A2A is the same company. They just had to change their name from Shockwave due to a certain big media provider with the same name.

I suppose you could try asking on their forums about the B-29.

All I could find was for FS9. I'll see if it works in FSX.

Nope, doesn't work in FSX. Well, it works, sort of, but it's really bad and would take a lot of work, that I don't know how to do. And it would still have the usual FS9 aircraft in FSX problems.

Wish list:
~~B-29~~

No need to be sorry, not your fault. It was worth a try. Besides, it prompted me to go ahead and get the FSD C337/O2, which I am positive I will fly ten times as much as I would a 29. It was $20 well spent, even with the FS9 prop behind the clouds thing. I don't understand why FSD and A2A revamp their FS9 models and bill them as FSX. Maybe the prop behind the clouds doesn't bother them. Roll Eyes

The only other complaint I have, is the livery on the 337 is not that good. But I can fix that. Grin

Anyway, I like it and am satisfied.

I saw your pics in the payware threads, very nice bird, but I'm glad you mentioned the prop behind the clouds issue, I can't have that, not even in my freeware birds, I'm fussy Grin
