Gks / b-52h stratofortress

Mate, can you please just answer the question that 2024 users are asking.

You say that this aircraft is released for 2024 on your website product page, but nothing is in the 2024 marketplace.

Where is it? When is going to be released?

We still have no manual….

And still no 2024 marketplace

It’s probably in the queue like everything else. Be patient.

What do you mean “in the queue”? They released it for 2020 and 2024 almost three weeks ago? We have messaged the dev to check what they have done with the marketplace for 2024 so let’s ee what the dev says.

The updates to mig 21 and mig 25 were scheduled for “late may/early june”. No updates still - I’d say it makes sense to consider these products “what you see is what you get”.

Yes, because instead of fixing an existing product, they are developing another product. I don’t know about their 3D modeling skills, if they even do it themselves or if they just buy it from somewhere else and then use the default F-18 or 747 as templates. When I was fixing their MiG-21 to make it at least somewhat usable, I noticed that the data in engines.cfg is just the default F-18 data edited to fit.

The simple solution here is for the developer to clarify. “It’s been submitted for X days/weeks” would make everything crystal clear. Otherwise, announcing it as released on '24 but not having it ready/submitted is definitely not a good look. And the manual was supposed to be out. And the first patch was supposed to be out. I am not going to buy this in '2020 as long as it is supposed to be out in '24.

I understand there are real life circumstances - I have cut them a fair amount of slack - but work has gone on in certain areas while other products seem to be lacking support. You can’t get an indefinite pass if you are asking me to spend my money.

that one reason to skip anything from gks !!

Couldn’t agree more and well said.

The aircraft needed to be in the 2024 Marketplace and ready for purchase on day 1.

Such a shame that this simple task couldn’t be achieved by GKS.

And still today, their website still says that the B52 is available for MSFS2024.

By the way, GKS provide a FAQ in the last video comments regarding some topics: 2024, flight model, weapons module. For 2024 guys, will be in the marketplace in early december.

I have it in both simulators, and no issues at all. But use more in 2020 because poor VR performance in general in 2024 .

So if you buy it in 2020 it appears in the 2024 library and runs without problems?

Sorry to ask but for some reason I couldn’t get the dev to say something as simple as this.

Exactly, but be aware that can take some time (two days with Top Mach YF-23 or B-2A, for example), but it will appear in your 2024 library (as 2020 content). In 2024 you need to go to your library and search for B-52H, activate, download, and finally install (or stream, but I don’t find useful for planes that I fly a lot).

The problem is for people that had uninstalled 2020. But as GKS said in the FAQ, the BUFF will be in MP 2024 next month.

I couldn’t stand their laughable smoke that was included in the update, so Airshow assistant to the rescue.

Nice trick! I just tested but unfortunately cost me fps in VR. But yeah, looks very cool :slight_smile:

How did you get AA to do that? I can add smoke but can’t move it around.

Edit: Never mind, I found a tutorial and I think I figured it out. Can’t wait to try this out with some other aircraft/wingmen that are missing a proper effect.

What happened to a manual for the B-52?

Again only silence from dev. How tipical. Maybe they are working on new exciting aircraft with many awesome functions and outstanding flight model with realistic engine sounds…

Yeah, I was afraid of this. I could live with the product as it currently is, if they’d just release a paint kit. The sound is annoying, but I can’t stand having only 3 liveries. They still need to fix the tacan and mfd map is way off.
