Paul K wrote:Steve, if you can find a decent freeware B-29, let me know. There's a B-29B model out there, so it wouldn't be authentic as a Washington; and besides, its badly flawed. My dad flew in Washingtons and I've been hoping for one for ages. :sad:
I'll see what I can find, we are after the B-29A, right? According to the article Ed provided, that seems to be the type. Lovely repaint by the way...looks like I may not need to venture very deep into Washington waters :wink:

B-29A, yes. I have to say Steve, I very much doubt you will find a good one. I've trawled all the usual sites without luck. Maybe you know of somewhere else; I certainly hope so. :smile:

There is a 'Washington' repaint for the WoP B-29, if that helps any.

You are sadly right, Paul, I can't find one anywhere, just the 'B' variant. I come across the Washington repaint that Andy mentions, but of course I don't have the WoP model. Oh well, I'll shelve that idea for a while.

More's the pity Steve; based on what I've seen of your work, it would have been terrific. :sad:

By the way...DaveB...I was right about the different metal reflectivity on the Peacemaker. It is indeed because some areas were aluminium skinned, and others magnesium alloy. :smile:

Here some shots from FSX multiplayer. Dave B and Rick Piper were actually flying the WOP B17, which I had not got set up on my FSX. The sim made us all B36's!
