Ever been a good B-29 sim?

Bubblehead1980 · 05-19-12, 06:05 PM

While doing some research on B-29 strikes against Japan in 1944/45 for adding them to RSRD(with the generic long range bomber substituting for the 29, as it looks somewhat like a B-29, if anyone has a 29 model that will work with RSRD TMO, let me know) so can perform lifeguard duties.I have am finished for now and have all the raids I could find from June 1944 and including the atomic bombs missions on Hiroshima and Nagasaki(wish there was a way to make a nuke or a pseudo one.Perhaps could really up the hit points on the plans ordanance? lol) Anyway, looking forward to trying it out and may end up releasing it for those who want this if can figure out how to make a mod of it.

Doing this research has made me wonder if there has ever been a good B-29 sim? I think it would be pretty fun flight sim, long range missions, planes ramming, AA fire, fighters, long flights back, mostly night missions, flying at low altitudes, flying the Little Boy or Fat Man missions.

IL-2 Sturmovik would be your best bet.

I'd love a B-29 in this game,I play FOTRS it would beat the Lancasters, and have it as a long range bomber flying out of Guam and later in war from Okinawa. I ask this earlier on and got slaged off abot it,apperently when i posted it previously some people wanted SSBNS off the coast of Japan ather than relistic bombers.

IL-2 has B-29's? I've heard good things, I need to check into it.

You can get a playable B-29 with mods, it's a great game.

Hmm, guess I will have to get IL- 1946(right) and I assume learn about all the mods.

B-29s are now flyable in IL2-1946 as well as the other heavies. This flight sim is good as stock but with the mods it has become incredible. The Full Mission Builder lets you build just about any scenario you want. The DBW mod version has over 200 maps covering the major theatres as well as over 2000 objects to place on your map.

Check on YouTube, there are many, many videos featuring IL2.

As some have said, the only real option is IL-2 1946 Ultrapack 3 mod

IL-2 1946 is really like the flight sim equivalent of this game.

It was a good game, but it is PHENOMENAL with the mega mod packs.

What started out as a game with 32 flyable planes, now is the premier WWII flight sim with close to 500 flyable planes.

The B-29 is is one

Flying that bad boy at 30,000 feet and programing the norden bombsight effectively is a lot like SHIV manual targeting.

By all means, post where those mods can be obtained. As far as I knew, there were only some wackos who managed to allow you to fly it (and other non-flyable planes) in a third-person perspective. I know not of detalied cockpits for the usually non-flyable ones.

You've apparently been gone from that scene a long time Daniel Prates. There's a very active modding community for il-2 1946 now. Has been for years.
