Thanks Jankees, but I really wish You hadn't replied to this tll next month.

I'm all paywared out right now and it's going to be hard to resist for a couple of more weeks. Do you have the B17 or do you just prefer the P-47 in general?
I have both, and they are both very nice. It's just that the B-17 was A2A's first FSX model, and the P-47 the latest, and it shows. I'm not sure these shots really show what I mean, but the external textures on the 47 are much sharper and in general more believable, while the 17 looks more like ...well, a model. The VC in the 17 is nice, but in the 47 it's fantastic, and then the 47 has accu-sim, which lifts it to a totally dimension. Now, all cockpit sounds become totally realistic (every switch has its own sound, you hear the wind when you open the canopy, etc), and you really have to watch all those meters, because you will break the engine if you mistreat it. I find it amazing that during WWII, these 20 year old kids could fly this for hours over Germany with other people shooting at them...
So, if it is realism you're after, and a fantastic model, it's the 47.
If you want a big bomber, it's the 17. BTW, A2A are saying they will develop accusim for the 17 too, so that is going to be fun..
Both are well worth the money though!
