X2 on the T-34C Turbo Mentor. Just be careful not to make a hard landing, the tyres can, no...will, burst! :wacko:

Grab the b-29.

Grab the b-29.

Agreed. It's not perfect, but it looks good enough, and is a lot of fun. The interior is Virtavia's best to date, without a doubt.

I was close on the c-17, but saw some threads on here from years ago, that did not highly recommend. ... B-29 I was tempted as well, but the youtube videos.. the cockpit just looked so old graphics wise.. been getting spoiled by  my Realair/Milviz/PMDG, etc....

The cockpit modelling is actually not bad at all. You can read my review on ADX, google for it. Also, they just released a 1.1 where they fixed a few graphical issues.

 

I think you may have seen some videos with A2A/Shockwave B-29.. and that one is really outdated.

 

A cool old shot I made with the b-29:

Grabbed it! :rolleyes:

Took the B-29 up for a quick spin tonight from Logan (was really fogged in, so couldn't see anything once I took off).. But it looks like it could be some fun.. definitely worth the 14 bucks and Change from 50% sale and PcAviator's 10% Tuesdays..

 

No it's not like the A2A B-17.. but then it didn't cost much either, so definitely money well spent.

 

But I do love my B-17 though as well ^_^

lots of new touches like this on the Turbo Mentor. Try taking it up to angels 11 with the oxygen turned off, or laying on the brakes on landing :blink:

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about panic breaking...Like, DON'T :biggrin:

What the Mentor does very well, is make you plan your landings a little lot more carefully.

Well don't mention angels 11 or even breaking -  I didn't even make it is far as starting the engine without causing an engine fire! Will teach me to read the manual next time! I can see this will be a challenge but bring it on!

It wont replace the A2A B-17 in my affections either, but as an alternative that's a bit simpler for a quick flight, its ideal. The B-29 is probably my favourite aircraft in history, and despite the obvious shortcomings, I think Virtavia made a good fist of it. It bodes well for their forthcoming Avro Lincoln.

Never bought a military aircraft nor vintage historical but as the deal and comments here were awsome, I couldn't resist and add 2 Virtavia aircraft in my hangar:

 

The C17 because it's top sales on many market place and reviews are good, also my prefered location for FSX is Hawaii and they have a hickham livery.

 

The B29 I like the wide cockpit view and this plane is history, Ummmm will take screenshots to make postcards.

The view from the pilot's seat in the Virtavia B-29. Rather well done, though keep in mind that this is in P3Dv2.2 and its internal self-shadowing feature adds a lot to the overall impression. You won't get that in FSX.
