Hello BUFF-Pilots 8-)
As it is an known problem that the radar doesn't work with P3D, I made a replacement gauge for this.
After the MOD it should look like this:
Looks cool, right? 8-) - this is the "F35_HUD_VC" from the Default F35A, so you don't need any extra files for this mod.
And here you get it in your B-52 VC:
1. Copy the subfolder from
...\F35A\panel\F-35_HUD_VC
to
...\CS_B52\panel\
It's important that the Folder "F-35_HUD_VC" is in the \panel folder of the B-52.
2. Open the panel.cfg of the B-52 and locate the following entry in the [VCockpit02] Section:
gauge48=Captain_Sim.b520.terrain!main, 0,550,1024,730
This is the problematic Terrain Radar Gauge we want to replace.
Now edit the entry that it should look like this:
gauge48=F-35_HUD_VC!F-35_HUD_VC, 160,460,700,580
3. Save the panel.cfg and get in the B-52!
An Alternative would be to use the "Multiple Moving Map"-Gauge - this is a known Freeware-Gauge that shows different variants of the InGame Map. But I think the F35-Variant is the better solution.

One important word of saving CS-Planes Scenarios:
If you get the error with the "no title" and "no description", it is not possible to load a saved flight with a CS-Plane. This could also happend to the Default-Flight.
This is because all CS-Planes writes the Gauge-Switch-States to the Savefile. Since the Saveformat has changed since FSX, there is no longer a *.flt File in which the CS-Planes can write the Gauge-States.
P3D only have 2 Savefiles, a *.fxml file and a *.wx file for the weather. The FXML File needs ALWAYS at the end this entry:
</SimBase.Document>
If any entry is BELOW this, the Savegame will be corrupt and produces the know errors. Unfortunately all CS-Planes writes the Gauge-States BELOW this entry :-/
So you have to manually move all the Gauge-State Entrys ABOVE the </SimBase.Document> Entry, Save it and then the Savegame will load properly.
Here are two examples how it is wrong and right:
WRONG:
</Flight.Sections>
</SimBase.Document>
[CaptainSim]
PF000=10
PF001=0
PF002=1.580000
PF003=99.422592
PF004=0
PF005=0.0000
...
RIGHT:
</Flight.Sections>

You can do this with the normal Windows-Editor. You can also add the missing "Title" and "Description" at the beginning:
<Section Name="Main">
<Property Name="Title" Value="YOUR TITLE" />
<Property Name="Description" Value="YOUR DESCRIPTION" />
So I hope you like my Mod and have a better flying with CS-Planes in P3D :)
