I must finish the rigs of my Cagafuego, which is a very boring work,
so a couple of days ago i have start this plane and i am working on both of those projects.

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber.
The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades.
It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s.
The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons

Hi DM,
i am afraid that with only 12 weapons per vehicle in VSF is impossible to see this:


or this:


and that which is really impossible to see this

[Deutschmark]

There is 24 weapons per vehicle in VSF now, 12 was the old and Ilan did not change it on the home page, so if I was you I would make a weapons load out folder like I have done for some of my jets so the users can switch them out, like one for just a bomb load and make it 2 bomb = 1 so when one bomb drops it looks like 2 so then it will look like you have 48 bombs dropping, then make another load out with a smaller bomb load and the wing pod weapons and so on.

[kostas]

that is my intention, to make 3 bombs=1, but i don't know about the explosion.is possible to see 3 explosions instead to one?

[Deutschmark]

No you will only get one explosion that's why I said 2 bombs as 1 bomb it will look a little more right.

Deutschmark

[kostas]

so let say 6 AGM-84 anti-ship missiles in the wings, 1 double M61 Vulcan in the tail and 17 double bombs inside. No bad

[Deutschmark]

Right and make the bombs 2 in 1 so you have 17 bombs but it looks like 34 when dropped.

[kostas]

well, thanks guys for your comments and thanks DM for the help.
really, for me the most difficult thing in this plane will be the panel.
it is a plane with 8 jet engines, (which i have not take in mind, seduced by my initial excitement) and i must add , as i estimated, about ....50 instruments.... and i don't know if this is possible in VSF
.....only the time will tell, if this plane will be a success ........or a disaster

B-52 update


A cockpit section

And the panel which i must filled with instruments

[Deutschmark]

Very nice looking plane and cockpit Kostas well done!

Deutschmark

[kostas]

Trying to make the pilots panel texture (in photoshop) based on images which i found on the internet
So, this will be (i hope) the pilots panel with 54 working instruments
(probably must reduce screen to see all image)

[Deutschmark]

That's looking very nice Kostas
