Convair B-36 Peacemaker - FSX Steam Edition

Convair's B-36 Peacemaker was called a 'MegaBomber' when it was first introduced into service on August 28, 1947. An enormous aircraft, it was as complex as it was large. Its 28-cylinder R-4360 engines were the very height of piston technology, and with the addition of the jet pods to later marques to assist with takeoff and top speed, the aircraft became even more complicated. With its 19-foot propellers and six engines, it produced an Earth-shaking drone that could be felt from 40,000 feet. Produced in a wide variety of variants, including unarmed crew trainers, strategic bombers, and reconnaissance bombers, the plane was manufactured for seven years. The last B-36 was delivered on August 18, 1954, and the type was retired altogether on February 12, 1959. It was the end of an era.

For the money this is not a bad deal. Sure the cockpit is low res and devoid of most interactivity it’s still a cool and very unique plane to fly. The external graphics are very nice. You can’t really expect a lot more for something so cheap. The audio is pretty good and depending on personal sound set ups you can get a real nice feel for how massive this plane sounded back in the day. I wish a crew hatch or door opened but no. Just the gun turrets hatches open and raise or lower on the usual door open close command. The bomb bay doors open and close but the bays are empty. I enjoy flying historic military aircraft so my high marks may be skewed a bit.
