Lee Elliott: Here're some updates for some of the instruments, the TSR2 and the B52. The instruments are just parameterised/non-specific versions of the engine and fuel gauges. The old gauges will still be used by the a10s and the sea hawks until I get them done. There're a couple of tweaks to the tsr2 yasim config and amendments to the model file to change the angle at which the airbrakes operate, correct the direction that the nose gear retracts/extends and to rotate the main-gear carts during retraction/extention. There're also new panels, using the new instruments. The b52 yasim config has some big changes due to finding some more info i.e. wing incidence of 6 degrees, fuel capacities and aileron changes (removed from G & H versions!). It's now based on an 'F' model and I've put some comments in the yasim config about it. The b52-readme.txt includes a suggested method on getting airborne;). I've included an amended model - B52-F.3ds, which is the default in the new model file, and a couple of panels. I'm quite pleased with the b52 - the take-offs resemble the photographs I've seen and I think I've got reasonable values where I've had to guess at stuff, but the results from the yasim solver look as through the model is approaching the limits of acceptability for yasim. By this I mean that the model is probably a bit dodgy, not that the yasim solver is limited.

<!-- B52-F yasim config.
Notes.
B-52F with full fuel load, no weapon load.
This config cannot be regarded as an accurate representation
of a B-52F. I've used the real numbers, where I've been able
to find them, but a lot of this config is semi-educated
guesswork. I think all the bits are in the right places but
many of the numbers were obtained either by measuring a h/c
of the 3-view I used as a template for modelling or by reading
them out of my 3d modeller.
I found a reference to the wing incidence, sweep (see the wing
entry in the config) and the layout of the flaps and ailerons
(ailerons are positioned between the two sets of flaps on each
wing) but all the other numbers are guesswork. The X/YB52 had
only two positions for the flaps - up or down, with the down
position being at 35 deg. I found no references to this being
changed in later models. In view of that, although they're
pretty big, I've set the lift to only 1.3 and set extend time
to 35 seconds on the basis that the attitude change as a result
of going from full flaps to zero flaps shouldn't be too great.
The B52s had all moving tailplanes (9 deg up & 4 deg down) and
these cannot be represented correctly using yasim at the moment,
so in that respect this config is definitely a hack.

Lee Elliott Here's a B52-H that I've done and it can be distributed under the same conditions etc. as fgfs. It seems to fly ok but I'm sure it could do with a bit of adjustment - perhaps Andy R. will have a look and give it a few tweaks. It wouldn't need too much work to convert it to an -A model (different engines, taller fin etc.) and then it could be teamed up with the X15 :) I still can't get textures on the models but it occurred to me that if someone could apply blank texture maps to the models I could then fill in the blanks, as it were. I also noticed that there don't appear to be models included for the F-104, F-15 & F-16 and I think I could probably do some and animate them for fgfs if they'd be useful. Re the A10 - Andy said he'd had a look at it and made a few changes to fix a few things that I'd done incorrectly and asked if I wanted to keep tinkering with it or should he roll his changes into the fgfs cvs? I said to him that I'd be happy to go with his changes as they'll be more realistic/accurate than the stuff I've done. I've certainly no problem with anyone doing anything with any of the stuff I've done, so long as it's an improvement :)

<!-- Approach configuration -->
Hello Curt, here's an update to the b52 - it's just some relatively minor changes to the fdm and panels. I've been trying to improve the take-off and landing characteristics, or at least get them to fit the pictures and film I've seen. The best way to take off is by using the autopilot - at sea level just extend the flaps, punch in the altitude hold on the autopilot (and heading if you're lazy), and apply full power. It'll also take of with the default the default elevator trim of -0.07 but it 'staircases' a little bit - the auto pilot smooths that out. I've included some notes and observations about taking-off and landing in the readme. While I wouldn't claim any sort of accuracy for it, I hope it manages to get some of the characteristics right.

<!-- I found figures of 554 kt @ 21000 ft (max),
495 kt @ 46500 ft (max) and 454 kt cruise (no alt).
I found some references that implied that the max speeds were
limited by buffet and flutter and not by engine power i.e. an
E model was fitted with an electronically controlled system
designed to reduce stress on the airframe during low-level
operations and was able to fly 10 knots faster than the speed
at which a normal b52 would have disintegrated due to flutter.

I also noticed that there don't appear to be models included for the F-104, F-15 & F-16 and I think I could probably do some and animate them for fgfs if they'd be useful. Re the A10 - Andy said he'd had a look at it and made a few changes to fix a few things that I'd done incorrectly and asked if I wanted to keep tinkering with it or should he roll his changes into the fgfs cvs? I said to him that I'd be happy to go with his changes as they'll be more realistic/accurate than the stuff I've done. I've certainly no problem with anyone doing anything with any of the stuff I've done, so long as it's an improvement :)

Lee Elliott: Here're some updates for some of the instruments, the TSR2 and the B52. The instruments are just parameterised/non-specific versions of the engine and fuel gauges. The old gauges will still be used by the a10s and the sea hawks until I get them done. There're a couple of tweaks to the tsr2 yasim config and amendments to the model file to change the angle at which the airbrakes operate, correct the direction that the nose gear retracts/extends and to rotate the main-gear carts during retraction/extention. There're also new panels, using the new instruments. The b52 yasim config has some big changes due to finding some more info i.e. wing incidence of 6 degrees, fuel capacities and aileron changes (removed from G & H versions!). It's now based on an 'F' model and I've put some comments in the yasim config about it. The b52-readme.txt includes a suggested method on getting airborne;). I've included an amended model - B52-F.3ds, which is the default in the new model file, and a couple of panels. I'm quite pleased with the b52 - the take-offs resemble the photographs I've seen and I think I've got reasonable values where I've had to guess at stuff, but the results from the yasim solver look as through the model is approaching the limits of acceptability for yasim. By this I mean that the model is probably a bit dodgy, not that the yasim solver is limited.

<!-- Wing incidence was set at 6 degrees because the tandem u/c meant
that the aircraft couldn't rotate in the conventional fashion. I
found lots of references to the sweep angle of 35 degrees but
none of them stated the chord point for it i.e. leading edge or
quarter-chord. As yasim uses mid-chord I've subtracted 0.5 degree
as a fudge factor.
Hello Curt, here's an update to the b52 - it's just some relatively minor changes to the fdm and panels. I've been trying to improve the take-off and landing characteristics, or at least get them to fit the pictures and film I've seen. The best way to take off is by using the autopilot - at sea level just extend the flaps, punch in the altitude hold on the autopilot (and heading if you're lazy), and apply full power. It'll also take of with the default the default elevator trim of -0.07 but it 'staircases' a little bit - the auto pilot smooths that out. I've included some notes and observations about taking-off and landing in the readme. While I wouldn't claim any sort of accuracy for it, I hope it manages to get some of the characteristics right.

Yasim also only allows for one [real] flap entry per wing so I've
used a single spane but reduced it's length by the width of the
aileron, which I've located outboard of the flaps.

By this I mean that the model is probably a bit dodgy, not that the yasim solver is limited.

Lee Elliott Here's a B52-H that I've done and it can be distributed under the same conditions etc. as fgfs. It seems to fly ok but I'm sure it could do with a bit of adjustment - perhaps Andy R. will have a look and give it a few tweaks. It wouldn't need too much work to convert it to an -A model (different engines, taller fin etc.) and then it could be teamed up with the X15 :) I still can't get textures on the models but it occurred to me that if someone could apply blank texture maps to the models I could then fill in the blanks, as it were. I also noticed that there don't appear to be models included for the F-104, F-15 & F-16 and I think I could probably do some and animate them for fgfs if they'd be useful. Re the A10 - Andy said he'd had a look at it and made a few changes to fix a few things that I'd done incorrectly and asked if I wanted to keep tinkering with it or should he roll his changes into the fgfs cvs? I said to him that I'd be happy to go with his changes as they'll be more realistic/accurate than the stuff I've done. I've certainly no problem with anyone doing anything with any of the stuff I've done, so long as it's an improvement :)

Lee Elliott: Here're some updates for some of the instruments, the TSR2 and the B52. The instruments are just parameterised/non-specific versions of the engine and fuel gauges. The old gauges will still be used by the a10s and the sea hawks until I get them done. There're a couple of tweaks to the tsr2 yasim config and amendments to the model file to change the angle at which the airbrakes operate, correct the direction that the nose gear retracts/extends and to rotate the main-gear carts during retraction/extention. There're also new panels, using the new instruments. The b52 yasim config has some big changes due to finding some more info i.e. wing incidence of 6 degrees, fuel capacities and aileron changes (removed from G & H versions!). It's now based on an 'F' model and I've put some comments in the yasim config about it. The b52-readme.txt includes a suggested method on getting airborne;). I've included an amended model - B52-F.3ds, which is the default in the new model file, and a couple of panels.

<!-- Engine entries -->
<!-- I've used the dry thrust rating of the J57-P-43WA turbojet (11200 lb)
here instead of the wet-thrust (13500 lb). This will make take offs a
little more sluggish but is about equivilent of a B-52B with wet-thrust.
This model is a little heavier though.

Lee Elliott Here's a B52-H that I've done and it can be distributed under the same conditions etc. as fgfs. It seems to fly ok but I'm sure it could do with a bit of adjustment - perhaps Andy R. will have a look and give it a few tweaks. It wouldn't need too much work to convert it to an -A model (different engines, taller fin etc.) and then it could be teamed up with the X15 :) I still can't get textures on the models but it occurred to me that if someone could apply blank texture maps to the models I could then fill in the blanks, as it were. I also noticed that there don't appear to be models included for the F-104, F-15 & F-16 and I think I could probably do some and animate them for fgfs if they'd be useful. Re the A10 - Andy said he'd had a look at it and made a few changes to fix a few things that I'd done incorrectly and asked if I wanted to keep tinkering with it or should he roll his changes into the fgfs cvs? I said to him that I'd be happy to go with his changes as they'll be more realistic/accurate than the stuff I've done. I've certainly no problem with anyone doing anything with any of the stuff I've done, so long as it's an improvement :)

Lee Elliott: Here're some updates for some of the instruments, the TSR2 and the B52. The instruments are just parameterised/non-specific versions of the engine and fuel gauges. The old gauges will still be used by the a10s and the sea hawks until I get them done. There're a couple of tweaks to the tsr2 yasim config and amendments to the model file to change the angle at which the airbrakes operate, correct the direction that the nose gear retracts/extends and to rotate the main-gear carts during retraction/extention. There're also new panels, using the new instruments. The b52 yasim config has some big changes due to finding some more info i.e. wing incidence of 6 degrees, fuel capacities and aileron changes (removed from G & H versions!). It's now based on an 'F' model and I've put some comments in the yasim config about it. The b52-readme.txt includes a suggested method on getting airborne;). I've included an amended model - B52-F.3ds, which is the default in the new model file, and a couple of panels. I'm quite pleased with the b52 - the take-offs resemble the photographs I've seen and I think I've got reasonable values where I've had to guess at stuff, but the results from the yasim solver look as through the model is approaching the limits of acceptability for yasim. By this I mean that the model is probably a bit dodgy, not that the yasim solver is limited.

Re the A10 - Andy said he'd had a look at it and made a few changes to fix a few things that I'd done incorrectly and asked if I wanted to keep tinkering with it or should he roll his changes into the fgfs cvs? I said to him that I'd be happy to go with his changes as they'll be more realistic/accurate than the stuff I've done. I've certainly no problem with anyone doing anything with any of the stuff I've done, so long as it's an improvement :)

Lee Elliott: Here're some updates for some of the instruments, the TSR2 and the B52. The instruments are just parameterised/non-specific versions of the engine and fuel gauges. The old gauges will still be used by the a10s and the sea hawks until I get them done. There're a couple of tweaks to the tsr2 yasim config and amendments to the model file to change the angle at which the airbrakes operate, correct the direction that the nose gear retracts/extends and to rotate the main-gear carts during retraction/extention. There're also new panels, using the new instruments. The b52 yasim config has some big changes due to finding some more info i.e. wing incidence of 6 degrees, fuel capacities and aileron changes (removed from G & H versions!). It's now based on an 'F' model and I've put some comments in the yasim config about it. The b52-readme.txt includes a suggested method on getting airborne;). I've included an amended model - B52-F.3ds, which is the default in the new model file, and a couple of panels. I'm quite pleased with the b52 - the take-offs resemble the photographs I've seen and I think I've got reasonable values where I've had to guess at stuff, but the results from the yasim solver look as through the model is approaching the limits of acceptability for yasim. By this I mean that the model is probably a bit dodgy, not that the yasim solver is limited.

There're a couple of tweaks to the tsr2 yasim config and amendments to the model file to change the angle at which the airbrakes operate, correct the direction that the nose gear retracts/extends and to rotate the main-gear carts during retraction/extention. There're also new panels, using the new instruments. The b52 yasim config has some big changes due to finding some more info i.e. wing incidence of 6 degrees, fuel capacities and aileron changes (removed from G & H versions!). It's now based on an 'F' model and I've put some comments in the yasim config about it. The b52-readme.txt includes a suggested method on getting airborne;). I've included an amended model - B52-F.3ds, which is the default in the new model file, and a couple of panels. I'm quite pleased with the b52 - the take-offs resemble the photographs I've seen and I think I've got reasonable values where I've had to guess at stuff, but the results from the yasim solver look as through the model is approaching the limits of acceptability for yasim. By this I mean that the model is probably a bit dodgy, not that the yasim solver is limited.

Lee Elliott Here's a B52-H that I've done and it can be distributed under the same conditions etc. as fgfs. It seems to fly ok but I'm sure it could do with a bit of adjustment - perhaps Andy R. will have a look and give it a few tweaks. It wouldn't need too much work to convert it to an -A model (different engines, taller fin etc.) and then it could be teamed up with the X15 :) I still can't get textures on the models but it occurred to me that if someone could apply blank texture maps to the models I could then fill in the blanks, as it were. I also noticed that there don't appear to be models included for the F-104, F-15 & F-16 and I think I could probably do some and animate them for fgfs if they'd be useful. Re the A10 - Andy said he'd had a look at it and made a few changes to fix a few things that I'd done incorrectly and asked if I wanted to keep tinkering with it or should he roll his changes into the fgfs cvs? I said to him that I'd be happy to go with his changes as they'll be more realistic/accurate than the stuff I've done. I've certainly no problem with anyone doing anything with any of the stuff I've done, so long as it's an improvement :)

There are a total of ten internal tanks, three located in the wings
and four along the top of the fuselage above the bomb bay. I don't
know what percentage was held in the wings vs. the fuselage but I'm
guessing that more was held in the fuselage tank than half of the
wing tank total.
There are also two external wing tanks holding 3000 gal each.
fgfs seems to convert gal to lbs using a ratio of 1:6 giving a total
of 249318 lb of fuel, of which 18000 lb are in each external tank.
That leaves 213318 of fuel to be distributed in the wings and
fuselage.
