Wiki: “Aluminum Overcast, B-17G-105-VE, s/n 44-85740, civil registration N5017N, is one of the 46 complete surviving Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress airframes in existence. It never saw combat, and it escaped the fate of many aircraft that were scrapped after World War II. It is owned by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), and, as of 2024, it is on display at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh, WI.[1]”
B-17 based off of AntonWings’ B-17G Interior, paint, and upgrades by Me
Upgrades from AntonWings’ B-17G:
-semi-accurate Sperry ball turret and ball turret interior
-semi-accurate Sperry dorsal turret/Sperry targeting computer
-accurate bomb load
-accurate cockpit
-accurate interior
-toilet
-Norden bombsight
-navigator map
-horrible radio
-guns now have traverse limits
I went for the long-range bomb load
Issues:
-intirior isn’t nearly as detailed/cramped as the B-25J I did 2 months ago (in the way of spars/ribs/whatever tf ya call them)
-holographic gunsights tweak out a lot
-some guns go beyond their traverse limits
-cockpit isn’t as accurate as I’d like
-cant jettison the ball turret like in Masters of the Air :(
-no nose art
