CaptainSim B-52 Exterior model released

ColoKent said:
....Capt Sim would consider scraping the FLIR turrets off the bottom and sides of the nose, and get rid of the new-era ECM pods so we could have an early H model to paint in that '60s SAC look (hanging a pair of AGM-28 [aka Hound Dogs] would be wonderful, but is probably too much to ask). I'd settle for a FLIR-less version. If they would do that, CHROME DOME II, here I'd come!!!

AMEN!!
 
OK....call me a hypocrite, I deserve it.....I went ahead and bought the new CS B-52 even though I said I wouldn't buy a half finished product.

But DAMN.......just........DAMN

Those screen shots in the CS email notification saying it was released were too tempting and adding in the price of $15 was the icing on the cake and just made me cave.

I know it has a 747 VC but for now I can live with that because this plane just looks so damn good on the outside. :jump: it flies very nice too!

Found this at Flightsim.com, though FS9. I even like how they show the view ahead in a seperate panel for the EO nose sensors.

Also, check out Rayman's pics of various skins his buddy has designed...awesome!

I don't know if this has been asked before, and I don't want to read through the entire thread I missed: Can piglet or someone else release a VC?

If Milviz released one of their AWESOME VCs, I'd pay. Doesn't Milviz already have one done? I just can't bring myself to buy it without a VC.

MILVIZ has posted in this thread they are not going to do one.

There are instructions on how to adapt the A51 C5M to the B-52 in this thread.

It is worth the $15.

Apparently there are numerous paint schemes in the works.

even without any systems, still be nice to get a good graphical representation, if yer charge as low as the model itself then I'm sure it will fly of the virtual shelfs.

And yes I noticed those skins WIP over at captain sim and my god, totally awesome work, love the rippling effect that is so visible of B52's these days.

My question is, WHAT is causing that rippling effect? Just years of use and landings???

I wish they showed the ripples on most large military aircraft textures. That's how it is in real life.
 
What's It Goin' Take?

Someone, please, build a VC for this airplane. This model has so much potential. Thanks.
