Boeing B-50 "Weather" leaving Anette Island (FSX)

I'm still impressed by this freeware Big prop from Manfred Jahn and his team. Here's one from the "Weather Dept" from the USAF / MATS.

So: No turrets on this baby:

GREETS!!

Outstanding shots, my friend:D Keep in mind that this baby don't float like a boat.:eek: When landing, let the wheels do the work;)

Just found the button Zippy! Thanks very much! :)

Ah! Weather service! I thought you'd suddenly turned atomic bomber :):):):)

Great looking B29!

Great looking B29!

 

Exsqueeze me.....B-50;)

Not bad for an Old Dutch guy.

Gerard: I'm certainly not an atomic bomber. :D

Darryl: Thanks very much, whatever, B29 or B-50, they're look a likes :)

Jim: I also have some B-50's WITH turrets ;) Thanks! :) And beware: I can organize terrible weather for the next 3 years!

Jan,

Those things under the wings aren't floats. But, I can see why you would mistake them for such.

 

Beautiful shots of a great bird with those wonderful round engines. They do make music to ones ears, don't they?

PAH ! Mine already has turrets, locked and loaded, and it's being flown by the World Famous Ace of the Airways, with special flight lessons from

 

Gerard. HAH ! >>>>

 

 

 

 

 

Hey Bill :D;) thanks very much!! :) Yes, those round engines make beautiful music indeed! :cool:

 

Jim, but my B-50 has nice red parts and things. Yours is very dull. Nice video btw edit: who is that "World Famous Ace of the Airways"character? Do we know him? HUH! :mad:

I also have some B-50's WITH turrets

 

I have a flight going right now...Carswell AFB, Texas to McDill AFB, Florida. Mine has tourettes and says some awful things:rolleyes:

Picture, picture!!! :o Has it red parts on it?

Jim - I like the video! Nice aircraft, it even gives you a tail skid so you can leave your autograph in the asphalt!

 

Very nice! Rick :cool:

Only took 2 so far!

Climbing to cruise altitude

 

Thanks for the pics Zippy, they look good! :cool::cool::cool: You have the other livery with red parts, also beautiful! And I see static Peacemakers in pic 1.

I am sorry to say that mine has no red parts, nor the fine texture, and panel that Jan's does. Yes, compared to Jan's , mine is dull :( . I downloaded it some time ago, and here is all that I have on it. Maybe I just don't have the updated version ? With those nice red parts. ( snif ) :(

Manfred Jahn, sound set by Ted Wolfgang, and research, testing and

tweaking by Marc Roth. The flight dynamics are largely based on the

'generic' C-97 design originally created by Wayne Tudor (RIP)

I definitely have the weather version you are showing!:cool: I have Peacemakers and Vindicators (Hustlers) on the tarmac at Carswell and also flying in the skies. Vindicators is a reference to the movie "Fail Safe".

 

A fine display of the old girl Jan. She is a beauty! :cool: :cool: :cool: :D

Lovely set of shots. The 50 was the ultimate development of the 29, like a super 29 more or less. This model was the mothership that hauled Chuck Yeager's X1 during the series of test flights that includes the history making one. I remember seeing a sad documentary of one B-29 (Kee Bird) that force landed in the arctic circle in 1947 and was preserved in a time capsule condition, and some tried to rescue it in 1994, a lot of hard work and cost to get her airworthy, but tragically she caught fire when they tried to start her up. By the way Annette is written with two n's , you wouldn't do Annette Haven proud to misspell her name. :pilot:

Yes Macroburst, I purposely gave a very clear demonstration on the proper use of that skid in my video. >>>>

:rolleyes:

 

 

It took them 12 hours to repair your "demonstration" !! :mad:

Gerard. HAH !

 

Better late than never! :) I really appreciate, GBJim, your recognition :) On the other hand, looks like a heavy plane on final. Looks like he could stall easily

About stalling on approach : At the "von Peerhoven Flight School For Talented Airmen" we point our graduates at a funny little gauge, mounted on every flight deck. It's called "Airspeed". PAH!
