Looks like that B-52 Driver is out at last.

B - 52

Curious if anybody can comment on the "authentic sound pack" ..... is it the real deal ?​

Where's just the VC?

I was under the impression there would be a VC only package for those of us that already have the Buff.........
 
Lateral-G, if you look at the bottom of the page, you will see a link titled "10 Euro discount". I believe this is for those who already have the BUFF exterior. :salute:

Indeed. I had to search for it as well, but found the link for those who already have the exterior model. I bought it and installed it without a problem. You should note, though, that it uninstalls your exterior model and then installs the full package. Edited: Apparently it leaves all of your textures already installed in place. Cool.

Here is the link for the package for those who already have the exterior model. It's normally located at the bottom of the B-52 page listed as 10euro discount.

Just picked up the model in the last hour and gave it a whirl. It does have a VC which is excellent, the sound pack is right on target for the TF-33 Fans of the H model. The animations are excellent through and through. It flies very well but it isn't a fighter. Very typical of what pilot reports say about the truck like handling of the Buff. Frame rates on my 5 year old PC are outstanding. In the VC I get 20fps average with some drops depending on scenery, the exterior gets 30fps steady. As long as a system meets to prescribed specs, you will be fine. Those who have never I7 cores w/ mega RAM, and new video cards will be in heaven with the visual candy!

This is a well priced and excellent package.

If you think its a good idea to put a load manager in the package to load wing pylons and bomb bays like on the xload, go to the captain sim forum and vote in the B-52 section for a load manager. Guests can vote.
 
I would usually say that this wasn't my sort of add-on at all but I'm really, really tempted. I think I'd like to see and hear a video first and wait to hear about any performance issues.

Thanks!
 
Blimey, 25 Euros ? Thats a very reasonable price. While I don't really need the B-52, at 25 euros I have the horrible feeling I'm going to be donning a stetson and raving on about 'toe-to-toe noooclear combat with the Roooskies' by Christmas morning.
 
Found a few from McPhat studios at Avsim...

Another incredible historic aircraft but I really do not know what I would do with it. I had a great time for years with the Alpha B-1 and really thinking hard about getting the new polished Lancer. Thats a beast of bomber with gobs of power. The B-52 I imagine is going to handle and fly like a cruise liner. I do not think I am going to be doing touch and goes at St Barts or racing at Reno but getting to altitude and engaging the AP might be more exciting than my screen saver.
Still temping even though I have the feeling its going to become another one of my hanger queens in record time.

I had a bunch of B52 repaints which I lost in an hd failure; anyone got a link?

Hi Roger,
Log into your CS account and go to your B-52 order page and click the link for free liveries. There are four pages worth. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for there.

Anyone know where the panaflex drive is?

Howdy Yall,

I'm not so much for talking with my fingers, but this is an exception. I HIGHLY recommend the B-52 Driver from Captain Sim, it truly does justice to the ol' BUFF. Now if I can just find that dang panaflex drive.....
