A2A Boeing's B-17 Flying Fortress WWII 's The Eighth Air Force Heavy

Just dont turn on your lights to full beam

The screens have not been edited , the lights courtsey of the shockwave addon , this model is superb , a 4 engined DC-3 with bombs ,

The chance to ride in one .. well here in NZ not likely , to understand the type the recent movie , 'Menphis Belle' .... Search Roger Freeman for Books

This , World War 2 Heavy , in Flightsim , get to learn how to fly it , you then formate , join groups , and understand some history , if you are really tapped in , a
multiplay with bombers and escort , but to have the Luftwaffe join in , screens would be endless , we would all need to have the many aircraft/models out there
or to build on your collection , these missions did not start till late 42 -1943 , November 11 th , eleventh hour 1918 ending WW1 and this year the 70th anniversiary
to the beginning off another WWII ,

There are a few of us that have the 17 , this being the WOP model i would be certain any 2004 driver could join a MP , multi-play , accusim .. and now using MP with 2004/FFX combined , well this is something we have to check out cool.gif

meanwhile, I'm loving it!

It was the 5 Youtube videos of Accusim's B17 that made me look at FSX a few weeks back and buy it. Still haven't bought the B17 yet though lol

First you get FSX up and running,
then you buy the A2A Cub with accusim, just to get started...
you continue with the P-47, with accusim, to master the big radials,
and then, finally, you buy the big one, the B-17, and your sim will be complete

unless of course you need an airliner too, oh wait, there's the B377, with accusim..

meanwhile, another teaser for you:

I had to stay away from the from the little Piper , but the Stato ...O blink.gif now that is really a lotta fun ! , this B17 smile.gif is so much safer and the best thing about A2As Accusim is its so random ! , course the P47 , least you only have to look after one engine , since the release off A2As Accusim almost two years back , the one thing that impressed me was high much the Flying Fortress in detail it was transformed , the entire package !
