Unless combat's what you're looking for (I suppose it is, though) why
not just get a recent version of MS FS - the BUFF is only one of many
airplanes available as a 3rd party software. Even if your interest is
combat, you're not out of luck - B-52's were only one many types
flyable on EA's ATF Gold (as were the Backfire, B-1, Spirit and hoards
of other bombers). As the above poster correctly stated, a
purpose-built sim was designed on the "Megafortress" EB-52 of the Dale
Brown books around 1991. I'd check on the "Home of the Underdogs"
site for more information. While the EB-52 was an advanced evolution
(fictional) of the basic BUFF, I'd be surprised if the complexity of
the sim didn;t hint at the same for the real BUFF. OTOH, it was
released by "360" which had several other embarassing flops at the
time.
