The successor to the B-36 and competitor to the B-52 prototype. The aircraft was cheaper to make than the B-52 prototype and at the time had a substantially higher payload, although problems regarding the flight performance made the YB-60 lose out to the B-52. This model uses pretty much the same controls as the B-36, although engines aren't started/shutdown via the activators, but feel free to set that up if you want to.
