I guess you could always pop to flightsim.com and get a free panel : b52_panel.zip
Also some sounds over at the pond : b52-fanjet.zip
I bet there are some nice freeware B-52's knocking about as well...
Beats spending £10 on a plane you will only enjoy if your outside looking in....unless your a virtual spotter...then you do really need to get more

Its a waste of time selling an aircraft with just the external model.
How do they expect to make any sort of profit?

Well I wouldn't fly the Wilco/Feelthere 737, because it has a crap exterior model! It could be a procedure simulator all it wants but unless it looks as good as Arianes 737-300 the im not buying. (Arianes' 737-300 was 2D only and only had default functionality, for those of you that remember).

I seem to recall there was a very good freeware package for FS9 that included most B52s from the prototype right up to the latter versions.

A quick search on the same site should provide the FSX update
Kind regards

Releasing just the external model with no VC is pointless in IMHO.

Not just no VC mate, not even a 2D panel or sounds... pathetic

Arn't they just going to use the VC from the FSX 747?
