Anyone ever create a native B-17D for FSX? :salute:

Sorry.....Should have asked if anyone is planning to create a native Boeing B-17D.....

I didn't know about that model at all. Wow! Looks really good and it is a bit shame that it is most likely overshadowed by the A2A B-17 + accusim.

It did get quite a bit of attention though not as loved as the A2A bird...

You never know. It's always been one of my favorites. I think it was a B-17D named "Mary Ann" that starred along side John Garfield in the WWII classic "Air Force"

Although close, the B-17 "Mary Ann" was a B-17B, 38-584, that was upgraded to a B-17C configuration (as seen in the movie). It has often been said to be a B-17C, but the serial number of the airframe, which has since been proven as I've noted, illustrates that it originated as a B-17B.

I personally would love an early shark-fin B-17 as well, with those beautiful early control yokes, fuselage blisters, etc.
