Some random notes, before I start running it: The inbord and outboard engines don't match. Your inbord ones are defined to produce 2200 HP at 1000 RPM (which is *monster* engine), while your outboard ones get 2200 at 2900 RPM (a little over 1/3 the power of the others). The inboard ones look typoed to me. I see that all your propellers have a gear-ratio="0.35" setting. This is almost certainly wrong. The B-29 used big cylinder radials, and as far as I know no one ever made one of these with with a gearing system (no point, as pistons that size can't be made to move much faster). Note also that this doesn't match your (outboard) engine settings. You have a propeller that wants to sink 1800 HP at 2200 RPM. But at that speed the engine would be turning at a shaft-melting 6285 RPM. The props also have buggy settings for their controller levers. The are "power-calibrated" at 2200 RPM, which matches the engine settings you have. But the max-rpm value is only 1200, so the governor will never allow them to turn that fast. I'll try these changes as soon as I get a chance and see what happens.
