The B-29 was one of the, if not the largest aircraft used during World War II. It was exclusively used in the Pacific Theatre during the War, and participated in bombing raids on multiple islands in the Pacific war. The B-29 became the world's first and only nuclear capable bomber to deliver weapons during war time when on August 6th, 1945 the B-29 Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb known as "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, the B-29 Bockscar dropped the second atomic bomb "Fat Man" on Nagasaki, Japan.

During the Second World War, its only area of operations was the Pacific Theater specifically targeting the Japanese mainland. It also saw combat service in the Korean War a small group of loaned aircraft were evaluated by the R.A.F during the early 1950's as well. In British service they were known as the “Washington B Mk. 1”.

During World War 2, the B-29 completed over 20,000 sorties with an estimated 180,000 tons of bombs dropped, as well as two atomic bombs. A total of number of 3,970 were built and delivered to the USAAF. Perhaps the most famous “copy” of the war was the Tu-4. Although outwardly looking identical, this Soviet “B-29” was converted to metric making it unique. Other aircraft derived from the B-29 include the B-50, C-97, KC-97, 377 Stratocruiser, and NASA’s own Guppy cargo carriers.[1]

The B-29 post-war also helped in the scientific, research, and development fields. They would play a key role in hurricane hunting and storm chasing which allowed it to collect key information about storm patterns, and helped to improve and to develop new radar systems such as the “sun tracker”. It was also the aircraft that carried the supersonic test aircraft Bell X-1 into the air. The last American B-29 squadron was retired in the 1960’s. Today one called “Fifi”still flies at air show circuits. It is hoped another named “Doc” will soon join her.

Arsenal

• 5 custom, fully AI controlled turrets working with Whiplash141s Turret AI Slaving Script (two dorsal, two ventral and one in the rear) with each 2 x 25x184mm Gatling Guns (10 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns)
  Since the turrets are controlled by a designator turret there is no need for a second player as a gunner
  
• 16 custom bombs, dropping in series thanks to Whiplash141s Block Release Sequencer (16 x 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs)

Systems

• Fully working landing gear and gear doors
  
• Animated Landing skid in the rear (just for optics, does not really fulfill its use)
  
• Ignition and Shutdown of the Engines
  
• Working bombsight for aiming thanks to Whiplash141s Free-fall Prediction Code (with a display next to the bombardier seat) and bombdoors
  
• Artifical Horizon and Fancy Flight Information in the cockpit
  
• Cruise Control and Hover Aligner for automatic flight

Miscellaneous

• Historical Markings
  
• To have the most realistic experience, it doesn't have any downwards thrusters and only a few thrusters per left and right side
  
• Two crew compartments connected by a tunnel
  
• Controlled by a remote control block to overcome the need for a cockpit block

TL;DR Watch the short instructional video I made

To control the plane, take a seat in one of the pilot seats, press K to open the control panel and take control of *#PILOT CONTROL* (Which is a group containing the remote control block of the plane)
