If we ask nicely wouldn`t we get some acces to the max file?! Cause it still remains as a free addon

 

We do not have to ask. There are ways to get the plane into max. I'm wary of doing that though because no matter what I think of the situation, crapun did pay $$ for the model from gunpoint 3D, so reverse engineering does not seem like the right thing to do.

Very true.

Very true.

 

And yet...Its so very very tempting.

It would be nice to have retractable gun turrets...kinda like how Pakso did the Liberator; the gear goes up, and the ball turret goes down (why does that sound dirty??? )

 

don, give dave that link i gave you

SICKO!!!!

 

what, you don't want the Detail & Scale on the Peacemaker??? It's only a 72 meg d/l!!! (well, there are a couple other things in that zip)

retractable turrets,I think they're tricky to do in the peacemaker,panel slides and turrets...maybe...never say never!

God bless all the people who restore 'em!

Nuclear Weapons for the B-36?

Am at work so I can't d/l the 36 yet. What about nuclear weapons for the B-36?

The B-36's main weapon was the Mark 17 thermonuclear bomb. Pic's of the weapon are readily available on the net (I recommend the Nuclear Weapon Archive). Most of the info is incorrect, however.

Declassified documents show early TN weapons were fuzed for airburst or ground burst. In the case of the Mark 6, the nuclear capsule had to be inserted while the aircraft was in flight (by crewmember in bomb bay- safety practice). This could take anywhere from 15-20 minutes (something interesting to mod in).

Some background info on SAC operations here-

The B-36 could carry-

1 Mk17 or 24 (yield about 10 megatons)- colored olive drab (no yellow paint on fins, nose, etc)

1 Mk14 (short version of the 17, yield about 7 Mt, only five deployed) colored white.

1 Mk16 (liquid fueld TN bomb, only five deployed)- color unknown.

(all three weapons used the same casing- the 16 and 17 had a sleeve added for length).

The bombload is ridiculously nerfed. I changed the values so that it is now capable of carrying the 44.000lbs T-12 bomb in each bay or up to a total of 86000lbs bombload.

We got all that info Mike. If you look on page 2 I uploaded 3 zips worth of pics I took of the weps at the USAF Museum last week. Also lindr2 has made most of them here in this thread.

No problem. Those in the Nuclear Weapons Technicians Association are working to improve the appearance of museum displays since the paint schemes and markings are mostly incorrect.

 

The Mark 14 has fins, the picture from Nuclear Weapon Archive shows the device from the Castle Union shot. Every pic I have located, Sandia National Labs website and DOE Historical Films shows it with a white paint scheme; no big deal though.

 

Haven't visited the site in a few months, that's what I get for playing too much "Mount & Blade".

Its nice to know someone is keeping it them proper. Did you look at the pics by any chance? Are they accurate at the museum? If not where are they off and I will let me contacts there know.

[+Spectre_USA 7]

I have only one think to interject at this juncture.

 

IYAAYAS!

Dave,

Will take a look at the pics, I wouldn't expect the museum to correct the paint schemes anytime soon (given their renovation schedule).

 

Spectre_USA,

IYAAYAS! You should hear the drone of AC-130's overhead here practicing at night (Hurlburt), along with the buzz of miniguns, 105mm, and fast movers dropping 500 pounders.

 

Yours, Mike

I think we can still use this one here if we want to add some stuff to this baby
