Nice plane but how do I get the reflective textures to work in FSX since instead of appearing reflective it just looks super bright and that ruins the plane.

What a beast! I love it! and I am especially fond of the polished metal look, cause this plane was built and flown when we didn't care whether you saw us coming or not!

Classic quirky aircraft. Could stay airborne for 40 hours.

If you like it get Strategic Air Command DVD

Easy watch.

To Gary Shetter: I am an 87-year-old USAF retired military guy (31 yrs.) who worked and flew on the RB-36 in the early 1950s. I have downloaded and installed b-36_peacemaker.zip and have a texture problem with the D to J models.

I have MSFSX v. 10.0.61637.0 installed. The textures on these models only show correctly on the jet pods and props. The entire rest of the aircraft is white in color. I have tried turning DX 10 off, and moving the Shaders folder out, everything recommended that I could find online to no avail. I am not an expert in this FSX but I am trying.

If you have anything that could help I would appreciate it as time is slipping by at a faster rate at this age. (LOL). Al Zimmermann (Retired USAF/USNR)

Absolutely loved this aircraft. Felt very realistic.

This flies nicely. It sounds great. All versions look great, even in DX10 Preview mode with Steve Parsons' DX10 scenery fix. Squeaky brakes just before stopping are nice to hear.

Awesome plane. I saw one of these on the ground at Great Southwest Airport when I was a teenager. Good job!

Sorry I give this no stars. Skins are nonexistent.

Beautiful job. Awesome to fly. I salute the creator of it. As a young Air Force pilot over sixty years ago I saw one in the air and never forgot it.

Looks beautiful with highly polished bare metal skins. Bombay opens and closes. Seems a little too lightweight and maneuverable when heavily loaded. Sounds incredibly real, but can't figure out how to control the 4 jet engines.

Badass plane glad to see you added a modern autopilot. This plane has it all I highly recommend the download.

The jets are not modeled in a functional way, The aircraft was built to represent the B model before the jets were added. Also they were only used for takeoff thrust and then shut down at altitude. Any other questions on it feel free to ask, I am the creator of it.

How do you control the jet engines

Remove Preview DX 10 in setting.

Nicholas SteedThu, 10 Aug 2017 16:15:09 GMT

I installed this but there are no external skins. What do I need to do?

Nolan DoevethSun, 30 Jul 2017 04:02:24 GMT

Nice plane but the skins seem to be too bright.
