    First impressions, good fun flyer, decent model and a good selection of interesting paint schemes

    Very nice! I'll admit to a weakness for (nearly) all things Swedish, so I'll go for it tomorrow
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    Yep, took it up for a quick spin around the new Iceland airport and it looks, sounds, and feels good. And only $10 for Premium Deluxe owners is a crazy good bargain.

    Have a feeling I'll be spending some time in this one!

    Not my style, especially since it's a neutered warbird, but it's worth a stick.

    Who makes these videos ?...

    He/she can make more or less obscure, unattractive aircraft look like a famous thoroughbred that every flightsimmer will want to have ! Heck, even that itchy bitchy sundayschool teacher looks good in this video!

    Personally i have never givin the Saab B17 much attention (with gear down she looks like a stilt-walker ! ) but having seen the video (more than once !) i'll glady fork out the 10 bucks to give it a spin. Maybe it'll become a favourite !

    Much kudos to this video editor !

    I wish it had Beer barrels and kegs in the bomb bay lol. She's a keeper for me, a rare WW2 bird. Off course they could also put sacks a manure in the bay lol.

    but the creative texture lay-out makes me wish I understood Blender...

    There are so many new aircraft coming through at the moment that I was considering passing on this one, but if you are going to pump out liveries like the one above then I may be be forced to relent.
    It reminds me very much of a Harvard.
    Will you be doing a few more liveries?

    I have plans for the Austrian aircraft, and a Danish version for now...

    Just took it out for a flight in Jankees yellow livery.
    Had a look through the .cfg files to see if autopilot was there somewhere, but no luck so far.
    Anyone figured out how to enable a rudimentary AP for this aircraft as it would make long journeys easier on my eyes not to have to hand fly for 2 hours?

    The payware PMS50 GTN750 has an excellent AP built-in to it's menu bar pop-up window, BUT the aircraft itself needs to have an autopilot section in the systems.cfg and electrical power to it, also in the systems.cfg - impossible to access that with Marketplace aircraft, unfortunately.

    I think it was in P3D, but quite a few aircraft that come out with no AP had coding in Sys.cfg or Panel, where you could change Autopilot=0 to Autopilot=1, or some other code tweak, and be able to run a basic AP after that.
    Which was handy for long flights. I can't stare at a screen for 2 hrs, sand papers my eyeballs.

    Couple of flights in the B 17A & enjoying it. Its quick & has a fascinating pilots cockpit area with all sorts of switches & controls tucked into unusual places. Still learning it, but a worthwhile purchase.
    Waiting patiently for more Jankees magic in the livery Dept

    Regarding the locked config files, it'd be soooo helpful if we could get all the Sim-Outhouse MSFS fliers to go drop a vote asking for MS to unencrypt config files on Famous Fliers, Local Legends, etc.

    I was watching a video of this, why does at least one gauge have a red X over it?
