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. ;D

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).

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! >:(

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
