Microprose-showcases-b-17-flying-fortress-in-new-msfs-preview-video

I don't even want to talk about it. What's the use... " it needs a bit of work " TTMurphy says in his preview video. Well, that proves to be the understatement of the year ! Believe me, they didn't even bother to make the wheels turn... Sjeeezzz, here we go skidding down the runway ! I don't want to say it but it nearly reminds me of the initial release of a certain flying boat, remember 'The Clipper' ?? ... Sorry to say this completely unnecessary release is almost in the same league. Just no fun whatsoever. 'Early Release' ??..... 'Half Baked Release' would've been the proper phrase. The only good thing is that the dreadful phase-shifting engines sound matches this crippled critter perfectly !

Sjeeezzzz, what a let down... :sick:

What did I say?

Sure, Snuffy, but the B-17 belongs to the top of my fav aircraft and i just can't let any release of it go by without having a good look at it myself. With this one i'm done looking. :sour:
 
He, I'm sort of in the same boat. I'm a bomber pilot and the 17 is the definitive bomber.

I'm currently struggling with B17 The Mighty Eighth Redux. While still hoping for the bloody hundredth.
 
Wow! I came very close to buying it on JustFlight and thought maybe I should check here. SO glad I did!!! NC

If Micropose has any integrity at all, they will get working on fixes fast.
