Prior to buying the csb-52 package, I came upon a forum telling of a new upgrade that made this B-52 have a more level takeoff and also made it a quicker takeoff.  Does the upgrade here in this forum by TurbofanDude do this?
After buying the program, I cannot find this upgrade.  Did not save the site.  Anyone aware of this other upgrade?  It was free.
Thanks

The link is inside the following quote, click on it and you will be taken to the place to download the file. This dose make the CS B-52 fly level when compared to the B-52 that is install.

Hello Captain Sim community, HvyEng and I have created fixes for the BUFF cockpit that fix/adjust the following: *All typos *Flight Dynamics *Battery Sound (changed which one it was using) *Added new Fuel flow lines *Added new Hydraulics System Textures *Removed "Rat Fort" joke *Adjusted Circuit Breakers Get the update here - just install to the CS_B52 folder in the Microsoft\Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes folder http://www.mediafire.com/?13bkdf9r964ckqb THIS PACK IS NOT A FREEBIE AND IS USELESS WITHOUT THE CAPTAIN SIM B-52. IT'S A FEW TEXTURES AND A .CFG FILE WITHOUT THE SOUNDS, NOT PARTS OF THE PRODUCT

Unless you are talking about the B-52 v1.1, which is better than v1.0.

how do I get v1.1

Check-in to Your Profile > Product (B-52 Driver) > Extended Download Service > Get New Links

And, errrrr, what's the best way to determine which version of the B-52 I'm using now?

Look at the installer.

If you bought the B-52 BUFF Exterior, then the B-52 Driver Upgrade:
csb520_1000.exe = B-52 BUFF Exterior
csu521_1000.exe = B-52 Driver Upgrade v1.0
csu521_1100.exe = B-52 Driver Upgrade v1.1

If you only ever bought the B-52 Driver:
csb521_1000.exe = B-52 Driver v1.0
csb521_1100.exe = B-52 Driver v1.1

Small questions: What are the improvements  between v1.0 and v1.1?

That's hard to say. The B-52 Driver v1.1 came out a long time ago now. One thing I do remember is that you can see the wingtips through the cockpit windows. :D

Ohh, yesss, this is really a BIG CHANGE xD  ;D - I would be interested if there are any improvements in the flightdynamics.

I just installed this update but I am too stupid to handle the fuel management correctly. I always loose my engines during flight.
Can someone explain how the fuel management works on this bird?

Would be very thankful as the manual does not say anything. Even if all fuel pumps are on, it does not work

Greetings,

Somebody has explained the Fuelsequence somewhere here I think. I have copied this and printed it out. For a new pilot of the B-52 it is hard to understand, but If you learn it/use it often it should come in handy  :)

Here we go:

STEP 1 - TAKEOFF
- Aft body tank to engine 1 & 2
- No 2 Mains to engine 3 & 4
- No 3 Mains to engine 5 & 6
- Center Wing to engine 7 & 8

note: for takeoff with main tank No 1 & No 4 above green band and center wing and aft body tank containing 2,000 lbs or more each

or

- Mains to all engines (respective)

Note: for takeoff with main tank 1 & 4 above green band and either center wing or aft body tank less than 2,000 lbs

or

- Mains to all engines (crossfeed valves open)

note: for takeoff with main tank 1 or 4 in green band. Open all crossfeed valves (9, 10, 11, 12)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


STEP 2
- Aft Body to engine 1, 2, 3 & 4
- Center Wing to engine 5, 6, 7 & 8

Note: maintain until center wing tank empty

STEP 3
- Aft body to engine 1, 2, 3 & 4
- Forward body to engine 5, 6, 7 & 8

Note: retain 3000 lbs forward body fuel (ballast) if operating weight center gravity aft of 23% MAC, otherwise fwd body until empty

STEP 4
- Mid Body to all engines

Note:maintain until mid body empty

STEP 5
- Aft Body to all engines

Note: maintain until 6000 lbs left in tank

STEP 6
- Aft Body to engine 1, 2, 7, 8
- No 2 Mains to engine 3 & 4
- No 3 Mains to engine 5 & 6

Note: maintain until aft body tank empty

STEP 7
- Mains to all engines (understand each main tank feeds its respective engines)

Note: Mains No 1 & 4 to green band. After this step, mains No 2 & 3 will be in green band area

STEP 8
- Left Ext to engine 1 & 2
- No 2 Mains to engine 3 & 4
- No 3 Mains to engine 5 & 6
- Right Ext to engine 7 & 8

Note: maintain until external tanks empty

STEP 9
- Left Outbd to engine 1 & 2
- No 2 Mains to engine 3 & 4
- No 3 Mains to engine 5 & 6
- Right Outbd to engine 7 & 8

Note: use 5000 lbs from each tank

STEP 10
- Left Outbd to engine 1, 2, 3 & 4
- Right Outbd to engine 5, 6, 7 & 8

Note: maintain until outboard tanks empty

STEP 11
- Forward Body (ballast) to all engines (not through main tanks, use main manifold)

Note: maintain until forward body tank empty

STEP 12
- Mains to all respective engines

Note: when any main is down to 5000 lbs, open all crossfeed valves (9, 10, 11 & 12)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALL LANDINGS, TRANSITION AND LOW APPROCHES

- Mains to all engines

Note: with main No1 and No4 above green band area, close all crossfeed valves (9, 10, 11 & 12)

or

- Mains to all engines (crossfeed valves open)

Note: with Mains No1 or No4 in green band area, open all crossfeed valves (9, 10, 11 & 12)
Note: with any Mains down to 5,000 lbs, open all crossfeed valves (9, 10, 11 & 12)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General note:

In the fuel sequence above, fuel from auxiliary tanks is transfered directly to the engines through the main manifold and not through the main tanks. During the entire fuel sequence, fuel level control valves switches (19, 20, 21, 22 on fuel panel) are kept closed at all time.

When Auxiliary fuel is being used, main tank boost pump switches remain ON. The boost pump in the auxiliary tanks are of higher capacity than boost pumps in the main tanks thus allowing a pressure override condition to exist. When an auxiliary tank runs dry, the main tank boost pumps take over fuel supply to the engines with no interruption in fuel flow.

External tanks when full, act as wing tips oscillation/vibration damper. So make sure before you leave that they are filled up to capacity, even for a short distance flight.

Talking about upgrade; any chance that the reversed stabilizer animation will be fixed ?
