This one for FS9 by Kazunori Ito, but it a "model" and "Texture" only file, and no VC. According to the "readme, you e-mail Mr. Ito and, IIRC, he will email the missing Panel and Sound folders and the missing aircraft.cfg and .air files.

For FSX, I just "Frankensteined" together a generic single engine jet fighter panel (Either one of the two at this link should work)...

That, and a pound of yak hair, some duct tape, and a mp3 of Bach's "Pachechel Canon" (the Techno remix, unless you want to take a nap), and you're good to go. Wink

IIRC, Mr. Ito also makes the F102, F-106 and P-61, also for FS9. The only problems are with the guages, which seem to be mostly for "FS98 or earlier" and no longer supported. You can either swap in a compatable panel or edit the panel.cfg file by changing out the old gauge called out in the .cfg with similar ones that you know work in FSX (Tedious, yet rewarding when done. I just finished editing most of the panel for the Simshed Folland Gnat GR-1. Fun little "Pocket Rocket! )

The only B-52 that I know of with a VC is the Payware one, also mentioned above.

The only mode I had to make for the gnat was the panel, and I'd have to dig through the panel folder to find out all the different authors. That could take a while since I grabbed "what worked" from all over the map, and not all gauges are the right gauges in the right place, so it would lack realism, as opposed to the original release, or the real aircraft, and there are still about five gauges missing from the 2D panel, and at least four missing from the 2D.
