FSX Steam Edition: Boeing B-29 Superfortress Add-On PC

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress marked a major advance in U.S. WWII bomber design, with development starting in 1939 and its first flight in 1941 near Seattle. Engineers refined systems and structure after initial tests, adding innovations like a pressurized cabin, electronic fire-control, and capacity for a 20,000lbs bomb load. Pilots valued its impressive size, speed, and range. This flight simulation add-on delivers a full virtual cockpit packed with functional gauges and controls, plus an accurate Engineer's Station. Bare-metal textures at 2048 pixels feature bump mapping, animated doors, togglable bomb loads, and custom engine startup smoke-start engines one by one. Crew figures in period gear animate on toggle, backed by a detailed PDF manual, Sonic Solutions soundset, and paintkit files. Aviation sim enthusiasts who prioritize authentic WWII bomber operations will appreciate the depth.

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress™ was a giant leap forward in bomber technology and production by the U.S. during WWII. Design studies for a "super bomber" were requested by the U.S. Army Air Corps in November 1939, with a contract for the first two XB-29s™ being awarded in September 1940. The first flight took place in Seattle, Washington in 1941. Various system and structural modifications were made to aircraft following the early test flights. The B-29™ featured a number of firsts, including a fully pressurized cabin, electronic fire-control system, and a 20,000lbs bomb load. It rapidly found favour with crews thanks to its size, speed and range.
