Sawyer AFB, MI Skins by Pappy, X Ray, JSF Aggie and ST0RMLoadouts by X Ray and MoonjumperDecals, testing, ini edits from hell, etc by Dave (USAFMTL), and X RaySounds by spillone.Weapons by lindr2, FastCargo and ErikgenCockpits by Dels Well here is a better explanation of my breakdown logic. B-52G_59 and the B-52H_61: The years they came into service and were all nuke and Houndog carriers. So for you SAC fans this is the cold warrior at its best. B-52G_72: This version went to Vietnam for Linebacker with the ability to carry only 27 bombs and very inferior ECM. B-52H_75: While the G was being used for a conventional role, the H were still all nuke aircraft. (it could carry 27 iron bombs if needed) This one represents the year it got the EVS, new ECM and its carries gravity nukes and SRAM's. B-52G_77: Again with the H is received the upgraded ECM, EVS and kept its ability to carry iron in the bay and is set up for a its nuclear missions as well. B-52H_88: While the G was getting more of the conventional role, in 1988 the H soldiered on being an all nuke bomber. In this year we see it in its new paint and carrying an all AGM-86B ALCM loadouts. B-52G_82: This is the year the G went operational with the AGM-86B ALCM B-52H_93: New paint, upgraded ECM and no gun. This one also had the ability to fire the AGM-142 Have Nap.Note: In the loadout screen it will say it is empty but the black dots next to it will be full. That means they are loaded but there is some glitch in the sim preventing it from showing up in the loadout screen because of the data link pod. It does work though once you are in the sim. B-52G_89: Here is then it picked up a serious conventional mission with the ability to carry iron on the wing pylons as well. This one also received the new paint scheme and made carpet bombing famous during Desert Storm. B-52H_03: The current version with upgraded ECM, plus the ability to carry the LITENING pod, all sorts of guided weapons from JDAM's, to LGB's, to JSOW's. Also with the Combat Track II moving map display in the cockpit. Thank you each and everyone of you guys for your help and guidance.

FastCargo Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Also folks, for you ALCM fans, be aware I'm working some minor upgrades to it to allow for proper loft operations (mainly to avoid the 'shallow attack angle' problem where you hit the ground just before the target, though with nukes that may not be an issue...). Awesome work Dave! FC Quote
Oswald Bastable Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Great work and thanks for the history of the different models! Been reading books about "Linebacker" but I didn't understand the B52 differences. Quote
bwild Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Dave, you seem to be a BUFF expert, do you happen to know if this is a good book? I'm thinking of buying it. http://ultra.glo.be/daco/KDCB023.html Quote
jodandawg Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 will this package work in sf1? if not, how do i get it to work if at all. Quote

+streakeagle Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I finally got the chance to install and try out this package. It is simply breathtaking to see a 1959 B-52G in SAC colors with hound dogs under the wings lifting off the runway with a 4x0.50 cal turret. These are B-52s the way I remember them: Cold War warriors. My son is going to love it too. There is a B-52 on display near the Orlando International airport that he has seen and he has a die-cast toy B-52. He doesn't know his airplanes by numbers, but when he sees a B-52 he knows to say "Stratofortress". Quote

dsawan Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Hi, am having a prob copying this to my folder to replace the older ones. The pc seems to freeze up when overwriting the previous folders. The moving box turns red instead of green. I tried to rebboot the pc and it still does it. I have enuff disk space. See screen below: I use Vista 32-bit. cant seem to post a pic either Edited January 15, 2012 by dsawan Quote
EricJ Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 It's probably Vista itself, get Win7. I had the same problems before and it wasn't the download, or just delete the old ones and see if that fixes the problem. If not, then it's Vista. Quote
dsawan Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 hi, never mind. i had to do them one at a time and delete the old ones. whats funny is i could do seevral files at once overwriting before but lately it wont work. guess it is vista then. Quote
tiopilotos Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I have a problem after installed the latest update. This huge bird isn't displayed in the radar! I tried with Mig-29 and Mirage 2000 to guide R-27 and Super 530 but I was unable, so I could fire only IR missiles. I tried all A-A modes but radar could not show B-52G/H even in 5 NM !!! I think this is very contradictory beacause B-52 normally should be appear in the maximum (search and track) range of a radar due to its size. Any thoughts? Quote
Stick Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Something makes me think that with the kinda radar splash a BUFF has, it would be carry enough ECM to blind any 4th gen Russian or French armament. Quote
+Dave Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 Something makes me think that with the kinda radar splash a BUFF has, it would be carry enough ECM to blind any 4th gen Russian or French armament. Exactily. The ECM jamming a B-52 does is enourmous today. One accidently turned on its ECM and took out half of Vegas during Red Flag. So its no fluke, I jacked the ECM on the Buff reflect real world capabilites. Its jamming is so powerful that its burn through range is measured in triple digit feet. So use a gun or an IR missile.

+SupGen Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) dsawan, this is a little late,(see you've got it sorted out), but the problem you had is NOT due to Vista. I've got Vista HP 64-bit and just got around to installing the updated Buffs Megapack(hence the delay). Went perfectly, took about 2 mins.Generaly the progress bar turns red just before the little window comes up asking, "do you want to merge this folder, etc. If that window does'nt come up you cannot proceed. Don't know if this would affect this particular problem but, if you have'nt done so already, turn off User Account Control(UAC). It's ALOT more user-friendly, just like XP but 10X better looking. I know Vista's gotten a lot of bad press, but most of it was due to this.(Messages saying "you're not allowed, not authorized, etc.) 7 is just Vista with a spitshine, don't waste money you'll need for SF2:NA, . And for Dave , another BEAUTIFUL job, if you see a prolonged , bright flash outside the window, just get under the bed before the shock wave hits. Thaaank you.

AgapheM Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Sorry sir, but AGM-142C Popeye is still not good to go Quote
+Dave Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Sorry sir, but AGM-142C Popeye is still not good to go Can you be more specific? Quote
AgapheM Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Same problem with that we ever talked few months (maybe years) ago; you'll find in this package that AGM-142C's typo data is still incorrect. Sorry, but just to make sure , you can try it yourself Edited May 30, 2012 by Agaphe Quote
+Dave Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 Some new versions uploaded with a minor update by Dels. Enjoy. Quote
