FS2004/FSX Boeing XB-15 Experimental Long-Range Bomber
FS2004/FSX Boeing XB-15 Experimental Long-Range Bomber Attempt by Boeing to develop 4-engine bomber with 5000-mile range. Begun in 1934, but first flew in 1937, almost two years after B-17. Many similar features to early B-17, but much larger with 149-foot span. Intended Allison liquid-cooled engines were unavailable, and P&W Twin Wasps were used instead, leaving XB-15 underpowered, unable to go 200 mph. FSDS3.5 model with two liveries: original metal finish, and experimental two-tone camouflage. Interior doors open with Shift-E then 2. Also can be flown in FSX. By George Diemer.
