Boeing B-29 Superfortress

12.0k DALS  6.7 years ago

Hello everyone. This is my go at a B-29 bomber. It took a while to build and alot of trail and error.

Looking at the generated blueprints by the simpleplanes website. it looks very realistic to a B-29. Shes a beautiful silver bird.

Also due to the low part count of 170 as one user pointed out, its mobile friendly. I tested this out and its running quite well on mobile devices. Not bad for a detailed B-29

You might be asking. "DALS, whats with the wing pods?". The reason for that is adding a pylon there stops the wing inside the fuselage from flexing outside its shell, and it keeps the enitre wing rigid just like a real B-29, the pods were added there to not make an empty pylon look strange.

However the outcome in my opinion is great! Its so heavy it needs WEP for cruising and takeoff on short runways

Action groups:
1 = WEP (War Emergeny Power. Makes you go faster)
2 = Drop Fuel pods

Enjoy it. Happy flying.

    You can xml edit non-flexible structural wings to have control surfaces, I only mention this because you're a Windows user and it's super-easy. Great build, it's impressive how few parts you used while still getting all the shapes so right, very efficient.
