Thank you for this most valuable information SaS~JackS.
I will finish the version I have already begun with the proper details as seen on the real aircraft.

WOW!  SaS~JackS , You flew the Duxford B-52 which I have seen a couple of times very large aircraft in the American hanger the b-52 has a b-29 under the right wing and under left a b-24, did you  fly the B-52 into duxford,  landing on a grass strip a first maybe,

No, that was not me. I had long since left the USAF and was with TWA I think at that time.

Here is a photo of that particular bird after a interesting flap retraction.

Just noticed on my CUP install that I have no weapon loadout options in my QMB for the B52H Early 1971? Is this normal?

SOLVED Installed latest Weapons Generation Pack now all ok

Cool photo Jack. Thanks.
That is a very interesting detail for me to see, the small white-painted squares on the flaps.
Never seen those before in any books.
I have no idea what they could mean, but its an interesting detail
that I could include in my next batch of skins I will paint for the B-52 from the Vietnam War era.

Thank you
Cheers
MAX

You're welcome. Now that you mention it, I never noticed either. They may be flap down indicators for the gunner to check if the need arises but I never recall them being pointed out and they definitely aren't in the pilot's manual.

Hey guys. I have found a small... inconvenience with the B-52 mod (and the B-47 mod alike) in BAT

when you set one of those in the FMB and switch to the individual a/c card to set player or a skin, FMB crashes. The same behavior can be usually experienced with "unskinnable" Franken planes.

I suppose, this has to do with the unusual file structuring of the aircraft versions inside the mod itself, the arrangement of the default skin folders.
It may also depend on certain FMB versions if this is experienced or not.

But mission builders should be aware of this, it can be worked around with a text editor...

All skin-templates now available for download.
Have fun painting new skins for the beautiful "BUFF"

Each one is a little diferent , so keep them seperated and not mix them

Forking awesome! Can't believe someone took this project on!!!! I grew up near Barksdale AFB in Bossier City, LA, home of 2nd Bomb Wing, B-52. I've even touched one. The landing gear strut is a mechanical marvel. You should see the machining work required. Great work gentlemen! Truly impressive! BAFB was also home to a KC-135 wing, and a A-37(later A-10) reserve squadron, the 917th. Those A-37's, talk about screaming meamies! I'd hate for that to be the last sound i ever heard...

Have this working fine as AI, but suffer the dreaded "no cockpit" if I try to fly it. I am still trying to work out how to upload a relevant bit of log file, but in the meanwhile does anyone else have this problem? I have all the relevant mods.

Still getting mission loading error null;tried different maps; used weapons pak gen 16iii latest version and engine mod 2.7w with full effects. or SAS_Engine_2.8.7w_full_20180726_FullThrottleFlame

Running out of ideas here; log the same as posted before.
