Is it possible to get a freeware B-17 fir FSX? I've l0oked, but I haven't found any freeware 0nes...

And s0mething's wrong with the O key 0n this ciopmuter... Tongue

This... Is Rio.

Loud and talkative Bengal cat. He's not ours; his owner lives two houses down, but he wanders around the neighborhood getting food and talking to his human friends. He'll sometimes get into a fight if he meets another cat though... But it's rare because he's kicked out all other cats in the neighborhood. He thinks all the houses are his too...
I came up with the name "ilikerio" way back in 4th grade, and I've used it with most user accounts ever since.

There is one nice freeware B-17with a virtual cockpit, but it's in FS9 format, so it might get some por-over display issues when used in FSX. I haven't tested it but I clearly remember discussing about it on another forum two years ago or so... I believe the plane could be found on flightsim.com, but I'm surprised you couldn't find it here at SimV too... I'll have a look to see if I can find it again...

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

From Gary Hebert, second item from the top. I don't know if it will work in FSX, but since it's freeware it's worth a try

I installed the commercial version from A2A simulations with expansion from Accu-sim. Its a highly realistic model. Not trivial to fly. Must read well the manuals.
