I bought the Alphasim and the panel is really bad. It ruined the whole experience for me. It's been deleted from my hard drive.

I heard captainsim are going to release a B52 soon, so if you wait and keep your eyes on the news, I guess that'll be the one for you.

It looks like it's still in the rather early stage of developement. But since it's captainsim, you can count on it being a spectacular model inside out if nothing else. That would be the best FS B52 that I know of, although it's not available yet.Jason

The model by Yaetsu Yoshimitsu with flight dynamics by Hiroaki Kubota has received good reviews from people who used to pilot / crew real B-52's.It's a FS2002 updated to FS2004 model. b52dgh_x.zip in the Avsim library. EDIT Ken Mitchell's panel is available on Flightsim.com's library.Other than Alphasim I haven't seen a payware model.The B-52 is a really weird aircrft for most FS pilots.For one thing the tail is a lifting surface and the plane takes off/ lifts offf the rear end first. It also lands nose first. Having to fly so differently gives a lot of people trouble in FS.
