I read some blurb that said 2024 MP release should be very soon, too - I presume it was submitted more or less contemporaneously with 2020. 👍 Awesome. I really enjoyed their F111, so keen to get amongst this B52. Looks great. Thanks mate. Jase
October 31, 2025Oct 31 It is available now in MSFS2020 in the MP, but not in 2024 yet, but their facebook page says it's coming soon to 2024. I went ahead and bought it for 2020. This aircraft is very detailed. Most of the switches in the cockpit work and actually do something. The landing gear turn like they should, and the crab function works as well. The wings flex as they should, and the tip wheels will touch the ground with enough fuel in the wings. The EVS turrets work, and you can even select STV or FLIR on the mfd's. No radar though. And with FLIR or STV on the screen you can turn on the TA symbology. The bomb bay opens and closes. The flight model in my opinion feels believable, heavy. And the sounds, uhhh, default B747😏 All in all, I'm very impressed. 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz i7-9700K RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6

THANK YOU 🙂 Based on all that, then, definite buy for me. p.s.: the FLIR probably isnt really IR, tho - right? (that's asking too much, I know 😉 ) Edited October 31, 2025Oct 31 by UrgentSiesta

Developed with passion and precision, this iconic aircraft brings one of the world’s most legendary bombers to life in stunning detail. Available Platforms: PC and Xbox

October 31, 2025Oct 31 I did this video many years ago of the Captain Sims B-52. I was an EGRESS Tech on B-52s at Castle AFB in the 80s.

November 1, 2025Nov 1 I think I'll wait for a while and further reviews. It looks nice, but I really want GKS to update their lovely F-111 before I buy something else from them. Also, I have Just Flight's Vulcan filling the same niche in my hangar. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
November 3, 2025Nov 3 Anyone know how to assign 8 throttles when MSFS only recognizes four. I'd like to assign engines 1&2 to my Bravo throttle #1, 3&4 to #2. and so forth.

So bind your first lever just to both axis 1 and 2 for example. The sim will warn you that you already bound the axis, but you can still do it and it works. You can also bind 1&5 together or 2&6 and so on. Edited November 3, 2025Nov 3 by roesti

Quite common on older aircraft ( and maybe newer ones too ) . As a boy I sneaked inside both a HP Hastings and an abandoned Avro Lincoln, and remember the seal around the perspex being quite rough at the edges. Silicon sealant around your bath is much neater.
