Anybody here buy "Wings of Power" for FS 9?

I did. Costs $29.00 which I think is too much. Prolly shouldda been
$19.00. The aircraft are really nice, and the flight physics seem to
be well done. Terrific feeling for some really heavy aircraft. I am
having a lot of fun flying them around - mainly I wanted the B-24, the
B-17, AND the B-29..

So here's the problem...

I can land EVERYTHING with no problem, EXCEPT the B-29! There is
something going on that
I do not understand. I cannot freaking get that aircraft lined up with
the runway for landing! Duh! It's as if the aircraft is on a
pendelum, and is either off to one side of the approach path or the
other. If it's to the right side, I bank left, coordinated turn, and
when I am on centerline, I roll out, and find
myself way off to the left of centerline! I got so frustrated that I
went and started up the 747, and flew it down final, banking left and
righ, and got right on centerline and does not display that
characteristic. I can put that booger right on centerline (I tried
that recently at Rand Airport in South Africa, trying to duplicate that
photo of a real 747 landing there on its last flight.) But i cannot
get the B29 anywhere NEAR the runway!

(GREAT engine sounds, by the way, for all the aircraft, especially the B-29...)

There is something drastically different about the B-29. Anybody have
an idea what that is? I mean, I enjoy a challenge, but this is
rediculous! I can't even get NEAR the runway...

(used to be ace of the base... :-)
