B-17G 'Sentimental Journey' (44-83514) of the Commemorative Air Force, Mesa Arizona

[Warlord64]

Sentimental Journey was originally manufactured and delivered to the U.S. Army Air Forces for war service in 1944 where she flew missions in the Pacific Theatre. After the war she flew for training, testing and at-sea rescue missions and was eventually sold for surplus and used as a fire bomber. In 1978 the aircraft was purchased by a Commemorative Air Force (CAF) member and donated to the newly formed Arizona unit of the world-famous CAF. She was meticulously restored and is today maintained in tip-top condition and operated by all-volunteer crews from the membership of CAF Airbase Mesa,  Arizona.

Hi Buddy

Thanks Mate, It is still working after Updates using eithe:

 OvGME  and should also work with JSGME(Not Tested)  with this  Zip file  B-17 Metallic Mod_By Warlord64 (mediafire.com)   (Re-Enable after Updates)

                                                                  Or Alternatively

Just go to C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\tech\WWII Units\Shapes  make a Copy of the original b-17glods.json  file and then replace it  with the new one Below. That's it Done.( With this option When DCS Updates You Will need to Overwrite the updated b-17glods.json  with  this  Modded one.)
