the Virtavia (formerly AlphaSim)B-36 Peacemaker and B-58 Hustler are no longer available on the FS Pilot Shop. I wonder if these will eventually be made available as freeware?

I guess it was a few months ago that someone else bemoaned the loss of the Peacekeeper in the FS 9 forum. There's been no sign of either that I know of in the freeware page.

I've never flown the Hustler, but I enjoy the B-36 from time to time. Replicating the over the pole flights from Carswell Air Base over to Thule Air Base in Greenland is interesting. Dead reconing navigation in the high latitudes can get kind of dicey.

It's probably time to get out my DVD of "Strategic Air Command" with Jimmy Stewart and watch that great footage of the Peacekeeper again.

Hi Jag,

Have you tried to convert the B-36 for use in CFS2??? I got to see the one displayed at the Dayton Air Museum some years ago, it was gigantic!
