A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category Prepar 3D / P4D Add-Ons

Description: The Boeing B-50 Superfortress was a post-WWII derivative of the B-29 Superfortress. It had a larger tail fin and more powerful 3,500 h.p. Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major engines. Significantly faster than its predecessor, it could carry more payload at higher altitudes (35,000+). In the simulator you can fly the aircraft either as an 'A' type (using a B-29 type glass cone) or as a 'D' (and later) type, both with or without long-range tanks. Three liveries are provided for the exterior model, while the interior model, in this version, is largely provisional only, cannibalizing various parts of Team Strat's C-97 model. Gun turrets are moveable either from the Shift-4 'Monitor' panel or, in P3D, by mouse- clicks. Created by 'Team 50' - models, textures and Monitor gauge by Manfred Jahn, sound set by Ted Wolfgang, and research, testing and tweaking by Marc Roth. Check Acme Ad and Bashas Ad.The flight dynamics are largely based on the 'generic' C-97 design originally created by Wayne Tudor (RIP).

Minimum system-requirement is FSX SP2, P3D V3 tested and recommended. Some small issues aside, the plane is flyable in P3D V4, too (see below).

Looks great, Manfred! Too bad I have to wait a week to get home to my Sim computer to download and try this beauty!:applause:
 
Sorry, forgot to delete this. It's a reference to the readme.txt, saying that

(7) NOT yet working in P3D V4:


-- Monitor > Misc: GPU battery charging (reloading the plane may be
needed)
-- Sometimes the cockpit windows cast an odd reflection on the fuselage
(if you know a reason or cure for this, let us know).
 
Manfred is there any intention to do or issue the WB-50 or weather reconnaissance version of this aircraft?
