For price of 9,99 it is a must have! Absolutely amazing.

I have been trying it out this morning , typical CaptSim quality external , it excellent , it strangely dose not look menacing at all , then you see a B1 , it fly,s past ... not sure these bombers , then you see the F111 or the fighters 15/16/18 or a Tornado then they are aggressive by sound and the tight turn with flame blellching out the back and sound , now that seems like a combat plane , this Captsim model is fun if you enjoy the airfield flypast .

That screenshot looks stunning!

Also confused as to why they would release this model incomplete...

Well - we'll all get trapped by the (relatively) cheap exterior model, then will get duped into paying an exorbitant price for the rest of it. Good marketing <??>.

What's the flight model like (not that I've ever flown a B-52!)?

Personally, I have a real problem with military aircraft in MSFS ... I can't see the point. Can't do "stuff" laugh.gif. I'd rather save money and buy a combat sim (Il-2, Falcon4 LOMAC etc.).

CS will release VC for this bird, and two previews are available here http://www.captainsim.com/products/b520/vc.html
Quoting CS: 'All users of the B-52 BUFF Exterior model will get 10EUR discount on the B-52 Driver.' - so good news for all BUFF owners.
