    Before any other developer even thinks about making another flight simulator, they should play this game and then ask themselves if they feel worthy.

    Whether you're a fan of the genre or just curious, B-17 deserves your attention.

    A good-looking B-17 experience with a full range of different tasks to tinker with and some quick blasts of action all wrapped in a lightweight strategy envelope.

    Well, I would rate it that, wouldn't I! :) But seriously, what a great team it was that put it all together. I flew a few multiplayer missions in the fighters in development and it was the best multiplayer experience ever. If only we'd had time to implement it on the B-17s and test it so it could have been released...… Expand
