Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's XB-54 (Test Bed-2)
It was the late 1940s. While Northrop was focused on developing their YB-49 prototype, our Southrop company received the design from Win's Wings design bureau to build the XB-49 for the USAAF's future bomber project. The XB-49 is powered by four engines, each driving two contra-rotating propellers, and it has a top speed of 400 mph, making it a fast propeller-driven aircraft for its size. It is a very sommth flying plane. Bring down the engine power to 30% while landing.
Main Weapons: AG 4 - Carpet bombing
AG 2,3, 5,6 Force to fire 4 air to surface missiles without guidance.

Pfft no.
I wasn’t really paying attention back then. Most I can remember is a very old fighter jet with tiger livery.
Sorry.
Wow, @Graingy, you've been on SP for 7+ years, so you know more than I do. It must have been quite different back then in terms of building style and user interest. Do you have any insight into what is good and bad
Congrats on surpassing SpiritusRaptor.
Kinda sad to see them fall further from prominence. They used to be a major player, if I'm remembering right.
