Is there a way to show an air-burst? Seems like most of the U.S. targets were air-bursts.

EDIT: Did a little research and found out this info about the simulator.

It allows one to pick the target and yield of the device, either through drop down boxes or by entering unique values. For the sake of simplicity, it defaults with an idealized air burst which eliminates the computational messiness of modeling the influence of unique geography and weather.
This is good to know. Near my own hometown, Omaha, Ne is Offut AFB.
