====B-29 Superfortress==== | |||
The original author of the B-29 model is not active in FlightGear at the moment due to the presures of real-life work. So Vivian Meazza has been busy with bringing the B-29 model up-to-date. The ambient light levels have been brought into line with current practice and the YASim FDM has been lightly worked over. Some effects have been added: the reflective effect, exhaust staining, and contrails. | The original author of the B-29 model is not active in FlightGear at the moment due to the presures of real-life work.
