B-17G 'Flying Fortress' (CFS3)

The AVHistory B-17G...here's the shots:











It's good to finally have a heavy bomber for CFS3.  I'm sure I'll have lots of fun and screenies of this in the future.

dont forget the TLUK lanc coming out soon

[Guruswarmyoz]

Gee that looks good! All that is needed now is a HP Halifax, Short Stirling, B24 & the best of all a Lancaster! (will wait & see what the TULK's Lanc is like).

[Whitey]

Yeah, I know the TLUK Lanc's gonna kick German butt, but this was out first.

I have a problem flying it...in the readme, it says it's climb rate is 1430 feet/min at 179 mph...but I can only get 500feet/min at 140 mph... ::)...and then when I level out it won't gain speed!

Guru, you mentioned some of the greats, but I would like to add in the Wimpy.....I love the geodetic structure under that skin..........

Very true, but was keeping in the "4 Engine Heavy" theme!!!!

SWEEEEEEET!!!!

It's probably possible to take the FDE out from another B-17 and replace the once you've got

WHY the hell won't it work? I followed all the instructions and it doesn't come up in the aircraft select. I have v3.1 of CFS. Is the some special 1% file I need to downoad?

There's a topic about this on the AVHistory forums.

Seems it doesn't work for a lot of people.  I edited the .XDP before I even played it.  I don't like them showing up as 3us_B-17G in the list.  Try naming it just B-17G in the .XDP.

Heres' what the first part of my .XDP looks like now:

Thanks mate.

It works now. I did just that and changed it to just B-17G
