Thank's tigerclaw. I want to get the FTX Pacific Northwest, Fjords and Northern Rockies. I found the repaint, one battered B-17!

Thanks Snuffy.
«The Hunting Club» is one my liveries, and she is available from the AVSIM Library.
The real aircraft with serial 42-5432 was a B-17F. She crashed at Furstenberg by Deuten, Germany, on 22 June 1943 after being hit by flak.

Well, we have no B-17F available for FSX yet (hint, hint... ), so I adapted the textures to the excellent Accu-Sim B-17G

Sure wish we had a FSX accusimmed B-17F to put it on ..

Hey guys those are gorgeous paints,could I get a link maybe?
thanks,Ben.

Thanks Ben!

These liveries are available from the AVSIM File Library. Search for «Fortress» in the Flight Simulator X - Aircraft Repaints, Textures and Modifications category.
A small modification will be done to the tail art of «The Hunting Club». Donald Duck is a fragment of a cartoon series were he actually says «Food huntin'» and not «Good huntin'»
This will be corrected.

Hi my name is Bobby Montgomery,my uncle was bombardier on The Hunting Club,mission 43 when it was shot down berg bossendorf ger.,his name was 1st. Lt. James H. Montgomery,screenshots are nice,just to let you know the B17 he flew on was Spook,the Dunnica crew originally,also not to be ugly,42-5432 was a b17 F,no chin turret,thanks TEXAS<USA PS you can find alot of info on the 303rd BG site by Gary Moncur(HELLS ANGELS)

Tanks for info badbob83!

When I started to paint the Hunting Club, i knew very little about the aircraft. It was difficult to find information about it, and even more difficult to find photos.
But, all in all, I learned a lot. Here's a link to a topic at the armyairforces forum. This is a discussion about the faith of the Hunting Club. Your uncle is here listed as KIA.
http://forum.armyairforces.com/m121138-print.aspx

It's always interesting reading the stories of the different B-17s. When I started the painting, I knew that the Hunting Club was a B-17F model.
So, I really hope that we once will see an A2A Accu-Sim B-17F (Hint, hint....)
If so, the Hunting Club will be the first to be painted for that model.

The link to the 303rd BG site by Gary Moncu has been bookmarked - thanks!

Thanks gunnar,if i can help in any way,i would be happy to,Bobby Montgomery

Thanks Gunnar, I found her. Hunting Club has become my main 17 paint to use. Everything I was looking for. That Beat up 1943 F model look. The heavy airbrushed line between the olive drab and the white underbelly is also a selling point.
-Ben

Thanks Bobby! If we once will have a B-17F model, the textures will be transfered. In that case I will need more info/pictures of the real Hunting Club. At the moment, I have very sparse reference material.



Thanks Ben - glad you're enjoying the livery
