Love the CS B-52 I hope other variants will fallow. I have noticed this in the past but I figure it would come out with the Driver update. But we done have upper Red Beacon lights on her on the lower one. There should be 2 up top like the U-2 does. thanks

According the info we have (flight manuals), the B-52G/H do not have upper beacon lights.

I noticed this from the very first release of the buff and was surprised it didn't have them.   So,  I added them myself.   I kept the wintip lights and the white lights on the stabs because I like how they are done,  but the rest I used shockwave lights.

this is my lights config in the aircraft.cfg file:

[LIGHTS]
light.1 = 3, -81.00, -26.00, -4.50, fx_navwhi   ;LS
light.2 = 3, -81.00,  26.00, -4.50, fx_navwhi   ;RS
light.3 = 3,  -9.90,  -3.90,-12.55, fx_navwhi   ;LB
light.4 = 3,  -9.90,   3.90,-12.55, fx_navwhi   ;RB
light.5 = 1, -44.5, 1.4, 0.06, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red ,
light.6 = 1, -44.5, -1.4, 0.06, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red ,
light.7 = 1, -31.6, 0, -13.1, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red ,
//light.8 = 1, -32.00,   0.00,-13.30, fx_beaconh  ;A
//light.9 = 7, -27.00, -31.00,-11.00,  cs52_sf      ;f
//light.10 = 7, -27.00,  31.00,-11.00,  cs52_sf      ;f
light.8 = 4,  66,   0, 11.19, fx_vclighth
light.9 = 5, 27.0, 7.4, -12, fx_Shockwave_landing_light
light.10 = 5, 36, -6.1, -12, fx_Shockwave_landing_light
light.11 = 5, 27.2, 5.0, -15, Fx_Shockwave_landing_light_double//b52landinglight

don't forget to add this line to the panel.cfg under [vcockpit01]

gauge14=shockwave_lights!SW Lights_gear,1,1,1,1//shockwave light
  

Well, Back to Flying...

I work on H-models everyday, and can assure you that at least all H's do have 2 rotating beacons on the upper aft fuselage, and one on the lower aft.

That first video was awesome. It really showed the weapons capability of the good ol' BUFF.

Thanks for pointing it out.
