There is one nice freeware B-17with a virtual cockpit, but it's in FS9 format, so it might get some por-over display issues when used in FSX. I haven't tested it but I clearly remember discussing about it on another forum two years ago or so... I believe the plane could be found on flightsim.com, but I'm surprised you couldn't find it here at SimV too... I'll have a look to see if I can find it again...

It was indeed in SimV:

From Gary Hebert, second item from the top. I don't know if it will work in FSX, but since it's freeware it's worth a try :)

I installed the commercial version from A2A simulations with expansion from Accu-sim. Its a highly realistic model. Not trivial to fly. Must read well the manuals.

Thanks!  ;) I'll try it... It's weird how I didn't see that one when I searched...  :-?
