Description
coming in on a wing and a prayer.

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress is a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber designed by Boeing, which was flown
primarily by the United States during World War II and the Korean War.

It was one of the largest aircraft operational during World War II and featured state-of-the-art technology. Including design and production, at over $3 billion it was the most expensive weapons project in the war, exceeding the $1.9 billion cost of the Manhattan Project—using the value of dollars in 1945. Innovations introduced included a pressurized cabin, dual-wheeled, tricycle landing gear, and an analog computer-controlled fire-control system directing four remote machine gun turrets.

B-29 Superfortress ''Bockscar''

Bockscar, sometimes called Bock's Car, is the name of the United States Army Air Forces B-29 bomber that dropped a Fat Man nuclear weapon over the Japanese city of Nagasaki during World War II in the second – and last – nuclear attack in history. One of 15 Silverplate B-29s used by the 509th, Bockscar was built at the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Plant at Bellevue, Nebraska, at what is now Offutt Air Force Base, and delivered to the United States Army Air Forces on 19 March 1945. It was assigned to the 393d Bombardment Squadron, 509th Composite Group to Wendover Army Air Field, Utah in April.

This particular variant of 'Bockscar' is how it was before its devestating mission over nagasaki. with the red stripe going across its fuselage, and the large triangle N decal on the tail.

About this asset

This airplane features custom sound effects, rotating propellers, smoke effects, retracteable landing gear and an openable bomb bay with interior !

8.2k triangles with all submeshes combined, 2048x2048 textures with texture sharing thanks to LSM.

Package includes both vehicle and ploppable version

Requires Vehicle effects mod and FlipXZ mod.

It is adviseable to use cubemap replacer mod as well to make the polished aluminum texture look much better.

Change the name of the asset to open the bomb bay, remove the name to close the bomb bay again. selecting it is tricky, aim for the engine nacelles gear doors.

Why is it a building and not a prop ? because it uses submeshes and props cant have submeshes, and without these submeshes the aircraft would not look nearly as good.
