1946 - 'what if' sim
« on: May 22, 2002, 03:43:18 PM »
I was curious but I had seen somewhere that a "what if" sim was in production a while back and was curious if anyone knows its status or whereabouts.

It was called 1946 or something to that effect and showcased some of the brilliant designs that could have flown if WW2 was pushed on an extra year or 2. I learned of it reading a very interesting site -  Luft 46

Anyways - I would love to see this sim if it had ever gotten off the ground -

So for all you droolers of conceptual and prototypical airframes (this site being dedicated to Germany) is one you should check out -

But any info on that sim would be great - thanks

I think a '1946' arena would be outstanding.  Much more interesting than Korea.  Maybe with the Allies defending North America and German long range bombers 'air luanching' out over the Alantic.  
      Many, many possible scenarios....

Here is an top secret photo of the B-17's replacement, this aircraft will only be availiable to Rooks...

Actually it is Acft 133 being honored with the name and nose art of Memphis Belle a couple of summers ago. I have another one of them in flight side-by-side if I can find it. I'll post it if anyone interested.
