@cessna lover Thanks! This is a true account. My father was on this mission, flying Co-Pilot in "Seattle Sleeper", in #3 position behind the lead, Cpt. Rexford Boggs. Dad said this was the worst of the 35 missions he flew. Five out of twelve A/C in his squadron (91st BG, 323rd BS) were sho...

Oops. Sorry, missed that. But hey, I could write a LUA script to cause a runaway turbo at startup to see if I get a fire.

Maybe you had a runaway turbo. That can blow an engine up very quickly.

Prior to the implementation of ILS in the ETO, the DREM lighting system (named for RAF Drem, West Fenton Aerodrome , where it was first implemented) was used for bad weather approaches.

Be sure to center the landing gear switch after the crew reports full up/down. If you leave the switch up or down the gear motor is still running and WILL burn out.

Sadly, Jack passed away last June.

a lone B-17 with flack around is never good.

True, we normally travel in flocks.

I asked Terry , who is a 91st member , he uses P3D5 , the Vac switch is still a dummy switch , someone did a mod for FSX that made this work correctly , the link and mod are no longer available on this site , i have it in my FSXA B17 and it works very well , dont know if it works in P3D5 as...

And there was much rejoicing!!!! Merry Christmas!

I have it working (mostly) very nicely in Prepar3d v5.1 as a temporary measure until an update. I haven't flown this aircraft for a while and lost appreciation for it until now. A beautiful aircraft and flies very nicely. The following video I flew a polished metal aircraft in first flight and a co...

Maybe by your birthday.

Keep dreaming...the market for warbirds seems no longer attractive compared to GA. I think we've beat that horse long enough.

Just set the expectation correctly. That's all I'm asking. We were told something that did not happen, and then there was silence, a refusal to answer. If it's not coming, put it to bed.
