	I also remember the B-52 being able to climb up to like FL500, and I can't with the driver.

	TurbofanDude wrote on Dec 14^th, 2010 at 2:51pm: yeah, I would love to tweak a lot of these, but wouldn't changing these also invalidate the manual? Wouldn't their charts and climb power graphs and all that become useless? Or are they all real, and changing these settings will actually make them closer to how the B-52 Driver flies? As far as I know, their charts and graphs on B-52's performance are from real manuals, so I can't see how you could invalidate them by tweaking the aircraft.cfg. We are just trying things out so it is closer to the "real thing". Mark

I'm not a pilot but I watched plenty of B-52s fly while in the USAF, and they all had a slightly nose down (or closer to level) attitude while flying. It's still worth every penny! I'm glad I bought it! Shifting the center of lift forward would correct this. As a workaround, I enter the pilot and copilot weights as several thousand pounds each. This moves the CG forward, and, if I set stab trim properly she lifts off with very little pitch.

You probably saw the BUFs in the traffic pattern, at the end of the mission, when all the body tank fuel except forward body ballast had been consumed and only fuel in the main tanks was left. The plane flies nose-low at that stage of flight, and if you're not careful, you can get a nose gear touching down first---starts a really sporty "porpoising" action...

A test flight once took a B-52 to 50K feet, but it was specially configured and the crew wore partial pressure suits. I had one at 43,000 once, and it was darned uncomfortable..pressure breathing sucks!
