I don't know--looks pretty

If I do decide to buy it, I am going to wait for the VC. I vowed to never buy an unfinished product.

Unless they give it away for
Hmmmmmmmmm-$9 USD

The when they get the VC and sound pack, charge the correct price..
Just one man's opinion....

It does look nice, but I'd really rather fly it from the interior/vc rather than the exterior :isadizzy:

Dang...this one looks awfully tempting! Speaking for myself, I spend a lot of time outside of the cockpit on flights and the BUFF is something I grew up with on Barksdale AFB's flightline.

I may have to take the incomplete plunge on this one and hope the pool is full of water !

It says on the posting:

Quote from Captain Sim about the VC

Interior and systems takes very long time and hardly can be completed till 2011.

:mixedsmi:

[papab]

Then I wait!

[calypsos]

Would have been better if they had released the VC first, we could then have learned all the procedures like in.....a simulator!!!!
Before getting in the aircraft itself.

[flaviossa]

I think doing the model is much easier then doing the vc and systems .... isn´t it?

[kilo delta]

Hmmm...this seems to be becoming a common trend these days.....exterior only releases/pre-releases. CS was first iirc with their B727, then the Alphasim C-17, Iris C-27, Suprunov Design DH Vampire.
Personally,I'd be happy to get the Buff...on one condition....that they include a low LOD model for use as AI .

[Scratch]

I always wanted to fly in the Buff

Sorry, I couldn't resist

[Tweek]

Tempting. When I do fly heavies (such as the CS C-130), I rarely fly them from the VC. If they're going to be big and slow then I prefer to have a bit of eye candy to keep me entertained, and the external model is always nicer to look at than the cockpit.

However, it's nice to know that you've got the option of both, so I may only take the plunge if the exterior comes at a reduced price, then if you want the VC later, you pay for the rest.

Also, Christoffer Petersen did a B-52 sound pack, so I'm not too fussed about the lack of sound.

[MudMarine]

Anyone who buys it without the vc is a sucker! It's an insult to offer it as an incomplete package! :isadizzy:

[Helldiver]

I can't find out how much they are asking for it. Why do these designers make it so hard to find the price? Thats the most important part. It should be the first thing you see.

Isn't this the same way they released the 727 as an exterior model only at a reduced price.....
The it took a long time for the VC model

[BOOM]

I'm wondering how the people who bought the Alphasim C-17 without a VC feel now that it's been out a few months and still no VC?

[Ferry_vO]

It's on my list........ for the annual CS "Everything is €9.99" Christmas sale of 2011... :mixedsmi:

[empeck]

Maybe I'd buy it if it had VC and avionics without exterior :P

This is ridiculous

[azflyboy]

Given that the first previews of the B-52 showed up about two years ago and we're just now getting an external model, I'd expect the VC to be done sometime around 2012-2013.

Oy, get back in the line! lol

[anthony31]

Eight engines into an FSX system that can only handle a maximum of 4? Hmmmm... I'll wait until the systems are done to see how/if they can solve that little problem.

Im a gluten for punishment , we dont see Stratofortress in the NZ due our anti Nuclear stance , politics , but honestly we could'nt land them here anyway .. damn runways just are,t wide enough , but due to the quality off Captain Sim aircraft , no hesitation ! :salute:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

I have always been a fan of Captain Sim and have purchased a lot of their craft, but my latest purchase, the 767 is plagued with a buggy AP and FMC, Until that gets fixed i'm not interested in an incomplete aircraft.
