A captured Bolshevik pilot once stated, "In battle, the fighters with the green hearts are generally in the minority. But when they're there, things realy heat up. They're all aces!"

Ok fishu, I'll bite:
Which is that sim?!
-
RAM,
It is B-17 II. Great bomber sim, so-so fighter sim. Can get pretty intense flying through flak and hearing a crewmember grunt when he is hit by shrapnel or being swarmed by a gang of LW planes trying to shoot you down as you frantically man the guns trying to nail them first.

If you get the latest patch, a program called RAM Idle from (freeware)www.tweaknow.com(freeware), (http://www.tweaknow.com) and go to bombs-away.net and download skins from there or from http://www.b17themighty8th.com7.org/ (http://www.b17themighty8th.com7.org/) B17II becomes a whole new game.
I've highly modified the RiverAndRoadsDB.imf in the /resources/media(I think) folder to allow for my crew members to die instantly or to die within a few minutes if they recieve a near fatal hit(ie: cannon shells).
I also modified the scripts.omf file to allow for promotions for guys that do a lot of stuff during flight and shoot down 1 or 2 fighters. It takes about 4 missions, but atleast promotions happen now.
It's amazing what you can do with a hex editor(or a C++ compiler which has a built in hex editor ala MS Visual C++), and the file editor Wayward released(allowing in game art to be edited).
Now if they just fix the damned FM I'll be a happy camper. :-)
Oh here's an image in the spirit of B17II I took today after I drove(literally) across the English countryside on a quick mission:

I created the nose art using PSP6.0 and stuck it into the game file to see it in game.
