View File Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1 Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the stock (non-flyable) Third Wire B-52K to give a fictional and flyable B-52K Stratofortress B.1 in service with No.9 Squadron attached to RAF South East Asia Command. Also included are fictional 'Flail' and 'Flambard' bombs with Flail being especially useful against soft-skin targets (or fuel tanks if you get tasked against these in Strike missions) and Flambard being a particularly nasty incendiary bomb. You can, of course, convert it to use nukes but bombing from 12,000m with conventional ordnance is a real challenge but great fun. As we don't have a proper B-52 pit you'll have to make do with the one supplied or go your own way and I mainly prefer to fly this one with cockpit toggle off. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the B-52K folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the B-52K folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the FLAIL and FLAMBARD folders into your weapons folder. CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - 27/05/2020 Version 1 - 02/06/2011 Submitter Spinners Submitted 06/02/2011 Category What If Hangar

No.9 Squadron BUFF's

Mmmmm. Factory fresh. Looks smashing.

Thanks for the comment but it's a one-off disposable effort. In other words, I just can't be arsed making a squadron's worth of decals!!

Just having a poke around the stock files and I thought that I haven't used (or seen!) the B-52 for a while so I've stuck the A-6A pit in there and added some WW2 RAF markings (similar to the Lancaster on display at the RAF Museum at Hendon) and took the Stratofortress B.1 up for a spin. Incidentally, my bombs (UK1000LB - you'll need to ini edit to accommodate them) overshot the target runway by at least 1km despite being dropped from 13,000m whilst 15km away from the runway!!

Yes. Quite right. They are superb.

The Third Wire Spitfire does it for me but the three Macchi's in 'Wings Over Africa' are excellent too. Over to you. What's your favourite?

Republic RF-84S Thunderstreak - F21, Flygvapnet, 1973 The last member of the successful Republic F-84 family was the RF-84S an export version of the RF-84F Thunderflash for Sweden. Unique amongst the F-84 family the RF-84S was powered by the Svenska Flygmotor RM4 (essentially an Avon 200) and the extra thrust made the RF-84S the fastest of the F-84 family. Deliveries commenced in 1958 and the RF-84S served until 1975 when F21 transitioned to updated Draken S35E's.

I don't like things being locked away but I do like the new patch and the excellent frame rates.
