B17


Recommended Posts

S! All

 

Just wondering, There was talk about a B17 coming into the mix maybe later on after the release of DCS WW2.

 

Will this still be possible ?? Do you think ED has a desire to build such an aircraft?

 

Really hope so, to me that would be the holy grail if ED put this aircraft into the mix with there high fidelity builds

 

I know I am getting a bit ahead of our selfs but what do ya reckon.

 

do you think its worth a crack Wags :thumbup::pilotfly:

i remember some b-17 screenshots, dont know where though, might have been on the facebook page from rrg?

 

so i would assume an AI version could be released with the map.

I am sure the AI one is coming still, after all we need AI targets for DCS 1944. As for a player controlled one... I think that is too far out to call right now, but a player controlled WWII bomber... sign me up.

 

Build a player controlled B17 and they will come in droves.

 

It does not have to be DCS.

 

Something at FC3 standard would still bring em in.

This would be so cool, it would breathe new life into the p-51 module, in fact the p-51 would be like having a new module

I hope there are many different AI bombers. Even if it's just the B-17 flight model with a different look to imposter a B-24 or something. I really suck at dogfights and I am mainly waiting for DCS WWII so I can shoot down WW2 bombers.

I really hope Eagle Dynamics will finally make a B-17F ( G is ubiquitous ... ) of the P-51 and Dora level ...

 

BTW, this B-17 mockup don't have wing dihedral at all... was this really intended to a be a DCS Module ? ...

For a 1944 plane, G model is the only choice. To supplement other planes in development.

 

Preferably a late war variant, with chyenne tail as well. If we're lucky, equipped with a device / radar for bombing through the clouds.

I would happily pay the 3rd party developers if one of them released a pack of A.I ww2 aircraft for dcs world. I don't need every release to be flyable. I would be happy to pay the same as say the existing cost of a flyable simply because it would add so much to the mustang and future ww2 releases.

Oh my, can you imagine a B17 with full DCS level modelling!!!

 

I believe that VEAO are considering the Lancaster too. Just picture the scene....7 players, multiplayer, on a run in to the Mohne dam - left left left ---- steady ---- Bomb gone! Then the bomb, with fully modelled physics goes skipping across the Mohne See before sinking and exploding and raising a column of water 300 ft into the air behind the bomber. The theme music would of course be the Dambusters march. Anyone want to sign up to the virtual 617 Squadron and fly the most epic bombing raid in any war ever?

 

Please please please can we have it next year?

The model we were working with in those pics is pretty simple... was only as AI tests.. we have better models... was not related to RRG at all...

B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th, and Janes: WWII Fighters were my introduction to combat flight sims (along with the other Janes releases).

I hope I live to see the day where I can walk around and assume positions in a high fidelity B17. Oh what a task it would be, but I have faith.
