I have yet to get anything "accusimed" ... Does the addition of accusim drop frame rates at all ? That is, compared to the base model of the aircraft...

If you have a good solid core 2 duo or core 2 quad system with a decent DX10 video card your frame rate drop is minimal. The benefits of accusim are extremely high when it comes to "real world" operation and it can be turned on or off.

I have the Intel 2 Quad Core with an NVIDIA GeForce GT120 with 8 GB of RAM... It isn't the smoothest, but it satisfies me most of the time... Runds FS9 great!
 
lol great manual, with this plane and manual you should be able to get a type rating in the real one lol:D I imagine this would be a great tool for RL warbird pilots wishing to get time in the B-17.

Crew of the 'Smooth Slammer' (My Bird) stood to, "hey PRB not forgetting your flak jackets are ya? Jerry don't exactly like our lot flying about" *Stares at the sky* weathers clearing...

shame theres no 'Spook' Fortress... RAF used 3 (I Think) B-17's (Fortress III's) as radio and radar jammers for their night time raids over germany, night fighters can't get ya if they can't talk to the ground radar :icon_lol:

B-17 Fortresses with No. 214 Squadron. These aircraft were crammed with newly developed, and secret, electronic devices. Murray recalled that, "We went to war without bombs but with Tinsel, ABC, Mandrel, Jostle and all the other countermeasures invented by the Telecommunications Research Establishment at Malvern. The crew included a "Special Wireless Operator," a fluent German-speaking airman whose primary function was to tune his powerful jammer -- code-named 'Jostle' -- to the frequencies being used by the German night-fighter controllers and blot out their transmissions to their own questing night-fighters."
