Anybody playing the Combined Arms title? Looks pretty fun.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It's hard to model something down to every last detail, especially something like a four-engined bomber probably.
There is the Fw 190D-9 vs P51 pairing, though.
I heard they might be adding the B17 soon   :aok have fun flying that thing

But I'm talking AI foes.

Last night I managed to get the engine running all on my own! I unlocked the nose wheel and use differential braking to taxi to the runway. Using full afterburner I took off, retracted the flaps and spent the next five minutes figuring out how to raise the landing gear. When I finally figured it out I throttled back to military power and could enjoy a few minutes of flying around in the clouds before trying to find the airbase again. Having visually located the airbase I lowered my flaps and tried to lower the landing gear. After failing to lower the landing gear for about five minutes I gave up and bellied it in. I blacked out on impact and the MiG veered off the runway to the right, but stayed in one piece. A landing I could walk away from...
