Any new features in B17 release .. pbr or dynamic lighting etc

No new features as such GL_64, but there are some minor improvements to a few of the interior textures and some aspects of the interior model. We did experiment with a PBR upgrade to the B-17 but the project hasn't worked out, or not yet anyway.

We are also conscious of the great selection of community paint schemes for the Accu-Sim Flying Fortress, and with the FSX version ported to P3Dv4 and v5, these can still be used.

Cheers,

Sounds good. Great price too.

Thnx.

Also, should give great fps performance.

I beg to differ - I noticed that the windshield rain effects have been implemented, and that landing lights at least uses dynamic lightning

Good point Genista - I'd forgotten the windshield rain effects.

Thanks and welcome to the forum!

So is it proper dynamic lighting that only works if enabled in the sim ?

And have they implemented their own version of cockpit dynamic lighting as they did in my C172 and Comanche ?

I think if they had, it should be in the list of featured effects.

Anyhow, I'm picking it up later, along with the Connie, so I'll find out for myself.

Just spent the last few days watching a bunch of documentaries on Amazon Prime about the B17. Most of it is free, but the Memphis Belle Hollywood movie is behind Bezos' pension wall.

Good stuff.

Regarding landing lights, yeah, it is the proper one. I won't be able to take screenshots tho

For cockpit, there is no dynamic lightning but you can use the freeware program "Spotlights". Profiles exist for the B17 akd they work just fine!
