Not me - until we know for definite about Flying Iron's B-17G. If it's still in the works, I'll wait.According to JF will be available on the 9th...who will take the plunge?

BOY OH BOY !!! That looks absolutely the part ! Doesn't it ??!!......
Hey! I'm not the only one reading this, am i ?????.........
THANKS TED !!!! Made my day, week, months, year, mate !!!
The screenies only give me goosebumps ! That's a trip down memory lane as ever there was !! (for me, that is.... ;-)) Ok then, Aeroplane Heaven is the new A2A, right ??!!.... A2P2H.. Who would've thought.. Well done Barry, Baz and Boys !!
Thanks again, Ted ! I think, from what i can see in the screenshots atleast, AH did a wonderful job on B-25J ! What a great surprise !! Truly hope the flightmodel will do very much justice to the screenies ( first and foremost keep the nosewheel off of the runway a few feet and let her take to the sky by herself ) and that goes for the systems and, first and foremost also, the sounds !
I say YIIIIHAAAAAA and all that !!!
You're talking B-17, right ?? NOT B-25J ????....... ( and taking plunges regarding both of these venerable warbirds is an understatement as far as i'm concerned, i'll be up, over, inside, outside, and all over again and again when it comes to these ladies. Bring 'em on !!!! ;-)))According to JF will be available on the 9th...who will take the plunge?
Flying Iron was making a B-17, AH are making a B-25J.
Yup, i know that, buddy. But did you know about AH's B-25J in the works ??....
(btw, nothing about their B-17 on FI website...)

Sjeeezzz..... hate that 2020/2024 ado...
(maybe avsim was right putting it all together.. )Gotta say, Jan, that's a thread from almost a month ago... why didn't you or anybody else that knew about it inform us ignorant Mitchell aficionados overhere ??....
Imagine an MSFS dev has a B-25J in the works for god knows how long already and announced that monumental fact almost a month ago which would subsequently be very nicely forwarded to the MSFS2020 forum while i, loyal passenger on the SOH MSFS2024 Forum Line, god knows how many times per day, and others with an interest in the B-25J, know exactly nothing about it for nearly a month ! Nice going ! I'd almost say i deffinately feel betrayed.. ( put a fair bit of salt over this food for thought ;-)
Could also be that there's just no interest in a B-25J here in subordinated MSFS2024..
Naturally i'm kidding but just a bit only... What we have here with MSFS 2020 and 2024 is undoubtedly the pinnacle of flight simulation and we might presume particularly the latter will get better and better maybe even bugfree one glorious day, but the current situation of having TWO sims of similar stature of which one is clearly much more preferred than the other ( not to say that one is loved while the other is hated... ) is quite a sad ball game IMHO. I do kinda feel we are being driven apart... MSFS2020 the real deal. MS2024 the pathetic follower.
Oh well, what else is new, we'll just struggle on, like Don Quixote's little Pancho Sanza, also a follower but certainly not pathetic, just overweight.

Thanks Denny ! Yeah i heard about it sometime ago. Bummer but understandable. Atleast we have a B-17 on final approach. We know about the quality of Flying Iron stuff which is top (although i never liked the Hellcat panel and gauges..). We know a little bit about Microprose now what the with screenshots and video's, can't wait for the 9th to experience their Fort for 'real' ! Atm i have ambivalent feelings...
Have to say honestly i don't see me waiting blankly on another Spitfire... Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. ( mind you i do LOVE the Spitfire ! ;-)
