I'm really happy Captain Sim will release VC for their buff, and the latest preview they posted at their site looks stunning.

Nice shot...always liked the looks of the B52 and had a ride in one many years ago.   I still remember the "Crosswind Landing Gear".  What a system!... ;)

She is still a good looking aircraft.   ;)

Nice shot! The B52 is probably one of my favorite military aircraft--not to mention planes in general.

That's a nice plane, I've been up under one of these things, and the landing gear looks quite odd.

That's because of the cross wind crab feature.

I may have to actually break down and buy this one.  The VC previews are pretty good and accurate from what I see, except the MFD's have a flat screen cover plate to help eliminate the glare.  It' be cool if they were functional...

(Smacks forehead)  One of the freeware B-52's has a fairly accurate 2d.  It wouldn't be too hard to slip a GPS guage in there (One of the functions of the MFDs is a GPS display, with the controls on the side panels for the pilot and co-pilot).  As a matter of fact, IIRC, it's the fictional B-52M (Similar to the souped up B-52 from the novel "Flight of the Old Dog").
