Quite the plane. Number four reveals a wing angle of incidence that's impressive - like a super cub.

Is that the Captain Sim B-52? What do you think of it? Is it as good as the C-130?

Big, yes.
Eight dials for everything - the thing must be as wide as a Cadillac.
But Ian, the "U" does not stand for pretty!
Pretty good rendering though, can you show us a crabbing landing yet?

Thanks Andy cool.gif , this is the CS B-52 but still recommend the C-130 , you have to be a ACC Bomber Triad nut i guess .. also helps if have seen the type and followed it history , good point there is only one field to base in the NZ and that's 'Kahu's' Ohakea scenery .
