IL2 is great, but not for the B17, there was once a whole sim dedicated to this special bomber, it´s called B17: The mighty 8th. You could manually aim the norden bomb sight, take ANY position there was in the plane and manage your crew members(assingin tasks like putting out fires and help wounded crew members), in that sim you could also fly escort fighters and the 109, 190 and 262. It was my first flight simulator:thumbup: I can even remember my first kill, I was the tail gunner and fired a long burst towards incoming fighters, one of them, a 109 went down burning:smilewink: A great game, I think I still have it somewhere.
But back on topic, I would have loved to see a Mig-21 sim.
