I just read about something I have been searching for for a while. Most know my fascination with the B-17. Shockwave has come out with Wings of Power, and the detail I have seen in screenshots looks &@$#ing awesome. EB Games here I come!

Wings of Power

MASSIVE DROOLAGE. Comes with a good number of aircraft as well, for only $30

HAPPY DANCE!

I hope its as I expected, now to find it in my area

---Stephen

EDIT:

Wings of Power: WWII Heavy Bombers and Jets lifts Microsoft's greatest flight simulator to all-new heights with the addition of 11 amazing aircraft, 50 missions, and new special effects.
Unsurpassed attention to detail
153-page manual including rare data and the real operation of these amazing aircraft
Gorgeously constructed aircraft, inside and out, down to the last rivet
Fully clickable cockpits with authentic working gauges
3D cockpits so real, they look just like their 2D rendered counterparts
The latest wind-tunnel technology helps to create the most authentic, fluid flying qualities, including complex spins and stalls
Enhanced visual effects and lighting

I am picking it up this evening from CompUSA which is about 15 miles from me. Have to drive in rush hour traffic to get it then drive about 35 miles back home in rush hour since the place is in the opposite direction from where I live lol
