How do you land this thing? Finding a runway wide enough is one thing but with a full flaps stall speed of 141 I have to approach at at least 150 and the thing won't flare. It slams into the ground. What should my threshold speed be? 160? 170? That's gonna need a long and wide runway.
Where can I do an ILS landing?
PS - Is anyone having AP problems with this? My alt hold gives out on final and I keep descending. Apr hold steers me but there is no altitude control.

Ok first remember this...The B-52 does not like you.
She is a hard bird to land, however there are a few things that might help. First the B-52 does not flare like most other planes, it lands pretty much flat. Try to add a bit of trim on approach, which BTW, should be a very long approach. As far as a place to land, go to just about any USAF base. I use Minot AFB (KMIB) for test flying my military heavies.
When you are on approach, start it at least 20 miles away and have you alt set below the glidescope.

land at Barksdale AFB, Minot AFB or Fairford AFB. they can land there in real life, so they should be able in FS too!

Full trim up seemed to be the missing factor. I landed it but it wasn't my prettiest effort.

Nice easy shallow glideslope. Long approach. And your speed for the last 3rd of the approach should only be about 145-150 kts. and trim up. You have to figure your decent rate from a long ways out and it shouldn't be more than -500 f.p.s.
TOUGH AS HELL!

Yes, it's like a flying bus or garbage truck. Very big, heavy and unresponsive.
With a stall speed of 140 I kept it at 160.
I'm not sure what my descent rate was because I didn't trust AP. -500 fps may be too much because the ac keeps nose down attitude. I only landed once at 100 ft above runway alt a mile out and just let it drift down. You don't want to try this unless you have plenty of room for approach.
