By default, the B-52 has a full fuel load and this makes it quite a bit heavier than the normal 'combat' weight - approx 422000lbs vs. approx 280000lbs. There's currently no provision for water injection in YASim atm so I've spoofed it by using reheat and you _need_ to use this with the default full fuel load to get off the ground. You need to have the flaps deployed (takes 45 seconds) and when you've got up to about 120kias click tens times at the top of the red handle scale on the panel (either vfr or mini) to engage water injection/reheat. You should lift off at a little under 140 kias. Once you've got a few hundred ft agl retract the flaps and as soon as you've started regaining height you should kill the water injection/reheat by clicking ten times on the bottom of the scale (in real life there's only enough water carried for a couple of minutes of operation). Heading west out of KSFO is pretty tricky because of the hills and you'll either have to keep the W-I/reheat enaged untill you've breasted them or pull the nose up a little to increase the climb-rate. I've tried to set it up to take-off on auto-pilot and all you should really need to do is punch in the AP altitude hold (Ctrl-a) but unless you've set the ground level wind speed to zero you'll need to manually keep it levelled and centered on the runway during the roll.
