Very nice! Will be an excellent update to entice more night flights in the BUFF. If there's one thing I keep hoping for on that VC is for an update to the EVS displays which could utilize GPS and/or HSI symbology. I've heard talk about it but nothing since 3 or so years ago.
 
mods done.
> red gauge and backlighting
> light reflection effect under glare shield
> engine gauge bezel widened to match real ones
> pilot texture cleaned up
> gauge glass with purple tint for reflection coating
> enhanced color saturation for gauge color bands

Thanks mate! Just downloaded the mod. Love the BUFF!

Not sure if they're posted here too, but there are some great paints for the B-52 by Jankees on OzX.

Cheers,
 
Will get the new file . Thanks.

"The Last Laugh" is probably my favourite paint, mainly because it's the B-52 I saw at the 2015 Avalon Airshow, and only the second BUFF I have seen IRL. Had a great up close view of it too, under the wings etc. They are pretty big wings!
