Note this aircraft originally was made by Gary Herbert due to the fact that his plane was originally ment to cfs and then revamped for fs9 and now fsx the plane does have one quirk although all works as it should in fsx the screen that comes up after your choose your aircraft is not right it will black out at times this has no bearing on how it works once it is loaded in fsx so enjoy your flight.

Wow, this is one fun plane to fly! The tailwheel is a challenge to figure out during a taxi. I have a much greater appreciation for the visual challenge of flying a huge tailwheel plane like this especially during taxi. I made sure to make the first flight at Boeing Field... Thanks for sharing this work!

Wonderful airplane to fly. Very easy install. I've always been impressed with the B17 and now that I can fly it - it just doesn't get any better.

How exactly do I add this to my FSX? I have the Steam version and can't figure it out,.

B-17 flys great, rear wheel won't turn so taxi is impossible unless you are going straight, and no sound. Except for those I had no problem.

Okay to tool around in. Invisible verticle tail around tail code markings. Tail-wheel will work if you unlock it, Shift-G. But is no match for the Wings of Power versions. Sound card is a little better. All in all a good addition, but needs a little work. No problem with installation to vista.

I really like this plane. B-17 flying fortress was one of my favorite planes as a kid. Only problem I had was when flying level, the VC cockpit was aimed too high to see horizon. I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem or not. But still a fun aircraft to fly.

The rear wheel wouldn't turn
TimmileyMon, 04 Aug 2008 01:30:16 GMT
THIS IS GOOD, BUT THE COLORS OF THE PLANE IS KIND OF BORING. THE PLANE FLYS REALLY WELL AND THE COCKPIT IS VERY GOOD WITH MOST DETAILS. I WOULD PAY ABOUT $6 FOR THIS AND WOULD RECOMEND IT TO EVERY MEMBER.
