Hello Gary
Oh Boy do I ever Remember The "The Mighty 8th" Such a fantastically immersive sim for its time!! I remember 20 yrs ago?? My kids were young and I had to wait for them to go to bed so I could play Our Tiny PC was in our bedroom then,I'd play in the dark....1-2am with headphones on,Guiding my B-17 through a field of flak to target.My wife would cover her head with the pillow allowing me my "Mission For Tonight" haha...So Fun!!

Gary I have NOT seen a DCS AI aircraft as detailed as this,other then maybe The upcoming F/A-18C Hornet which will be a full DCS Module soon-ish. I have to believe they have plans to make The B-17 a full module at some point.I'm sure you will be able to give The AI fortress a series of waypoints in the DCS Mission Editor when it's made available in The Normandy Map,If you have DCS World now?(its free to download and comes with two free aircraft) You can try other bombers on AI runs.

Just FYI I'm not affiliated with DCS,just a fan
