The book says the pull-up was at 2.5G.
Sometimes, I scare myself. 
Before I forget, some quick edits you may want to add. We'll fix a wonky tail strobe and add some cockpit lighting for those night flights.
These edits are quick and easy.
Let's start with the strobe.
Open the aircraft.cfg file for both folders and find the [lights] section. Copy the line below and change the "light.0=" line to:
light.0=1, -69.96, 0.01, 22.85, fx_beacon , //aft
Save and, boom, you're done.
To add cockpit lights, stick with that [lights] section and add the following lines:
light.
X=4, 21.00, 0.00, 4.50, fx_dsb_vclight_red, //AC
light.
Y=4, 16.00, 0.00, 4.50, fx_dsb_vclight_red, //CO
The [lights] sections are different in the two folders,
make sure you change the
X and
Y values to sequential numbers.
In the Early folder's .cfg file, X is 3 and Y is 4. In the Late folder's .cfg, X is 8 and Y is 9.
You should also check both .cfg files and make sure there is ONLY ONE [lights] section.
I think I found a second, duplicate, [lights] section in the Late folder's .cfg file. Go ahead and remove it, you don't need it.
One quick note, I used the deep red cockpit lights you can find in those DSB freeware aircraft. Feel free to use whatever cockpit light fx file you like. When in doubt, check the [lights] section of a plane you like and look for "light.X=
4", the 4 tells you its a cockpit light.
We're almost done.
Now, let's put the cherry on top.
We're going to make the 2D panel match the VC at night and its super easy.
You'll want to go into your main EFFECTS folder and find your VC light fx file.
Right-click on it and COPY it to your desktop.
Highlight the copy and right click. Use the OPEN WITH>NOTEPAD option.
You should see a bunch of text.
Look near the bottom of the file in the last section and you'll see lines like this:
Color Start=70, 70, 70, 1
Color End=142, 130, 130, 0
Those first three sets of numbers are the RGB values.
What we want are these:
Color End=
142,
130,
130, 0
Write them down somewhere or highlight all three and COPY them. Don't worry about that fourth 0, its just an alpha value and we don't need it.
You can dump that copy you made of the FX file now, we're done using it.
Now, we need to open the panel.cfg files for both B-47 folders (not at the same time, jeeze..).
Down near the bottom again, you'll see this:
[Color]
Day=192,192,192
Night=102,102,102
Luminous=148,136,107
Retype these lines just below but add two "/" characters at the start of each line. You should wind up with something that looks like this:
[Color]
Day=192,192,192
Night=102,102,102
Luminous=148,136,107
//[Color]
//Day=192,192,192
//Night=102,102,102
//Luminous=148,136,107
You want to save some kind of copy or at least a reminder of what the original numbers were. The // part tells FS to ignore everything to the right on that line.
For us, it says that its the original copy and we shouldn't goof with it if we want to try some color combos out. It is VERY handy if you come back to an old project after a couple of years.
Now, lets add the new night lighting that matches the VC. All we need to change is the Night= line to the RGB values we found in the FX file.
[Color]
Day=192,192,192
Night=155,0,0
Luminous=148,136,107
Now, one little problem with this edit is that everything is red and nothing is blue or green. This can cause problems with how the gauges get displayed (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). I have my own personal favorite settings that add some blue and green for the gauges with this deep red color, so what we finally wind up with is this:
[Color]
Day-192,192,192
Night=120,4,4
Luminous=148,136,107
Oh, one extra bonus. Due to how the canopy looks shiny from the inside of the VC, we now have some extra night vision.
It might look like you ate enough carrots to feed a herd of rabbits but remember that FS9 tends to make night time look like its coal black.
Try it for a while and you'll start to appreciate the effect, its a rush and a half to fly through clouds at night.
My only other suggestion for the VC is your view angle. I have FS set up so my VC view is always set to ".5". With the B-47, I kick up one notch to ".75" (I hit the + key once) and the 2D and VC views look almost identical.
Its a challenge, but it feels great when you can hit all of your waypoints within 20 seconds of what you planned and grease those touch-and-gos and landings on a consistent basis. 
In FS2002 they work as advertised, in FS2004 you're on your own (FS2004 was "declawed" in terms of combat effects).
