B-17F
« on: February 27, 2011, 12:16:54 PM »
I fail to understand why we dont have the F version yet. A) Out of memory, by removing the chin turret we are pretty close to F so there wouldnt be extensive modeling and work to be done. B) It would be an excellent addition to midwar scenarios (1943 raids to Germany) C) Memphis Belle.

I understand the early B17's were way different from the one we have ingame, so +1

Compared to the late G we have ingame, the tail turret would be different, different style top turret, different style nose glass and cheek gun windows, placement of the ADF "Football" in a different spot, radio room gun, open waist windows would all be visual differences.

Yet still lot easier to do then create a whole new model. And indeed worth it, B-17F played a major part in WWII and it is a great shame it isn't included in AH plane set even after over 10 years of existance of this flight sim.

you really like that buff, dont you? you realize that if they incoporated that, the throttle controls would be confusing, and if you could get past that, you would have the engine fires to deal with?
