Many unique animations including vibrating exhausts and teurbochargers

I WANT A TEURBOCHARGER, IT SOUNDS FUN

Just downloading mine as I type!

**DaveB** · August 14th, 2015, 08:31

Just had an email from PCAviator telling me it was now on sale for $14.20. Followed the link and it had shot up to $22.95!!! Could it be more if you specify those teurbochargers??

EDIT: PCA have just confirmed the price as $22.95.. as if it was ever going to be $14.20 anyway!! Tempted but I still think I'll wait until the dust has settled

If you guys are in the U.S., can I recommend buying directly from Aeroplane Heaven itself? In general, most developers make more if you buy directly from their websites.

***Roger*** · August 14th, 2015, 11:23

Love it! ...and there's a repaint kit included as well as a P3D installer.

**bazzar** · August 14th, 2015, 13:54

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that we installed French turbochargers. They have the bigger roteurs.

***Roger*** · August 14th, 2015, 14:36

Some shots...

***Willy*** · August 14th, 2015, 17:37

Bought it and downloading it now. Always happy to support Baz and the guys at AH.

Wonder why it won out over the SBD?

Taken at Millington Airport just before the AF snatched it back.

Thanks Baz and team for a very well done model of this iconic bomber. Little paint WIP I'm playing with...

Nice job man.

**roger-wilco-66** · August 15th, 2015, 00:18

Looks great! Finally a B-17 that was also used in the Pacific.
I'll go and get it tonight.

The iconic photo shows "Aztec's Curse" from the 26th bomb group, maneuvering after an attack around Ghizo Island, Solomons,

Cheers,
Mark

Woo Hoooo!!!!

***TARPSBird*** · August 15th, 2015, 03:24

Just now took her up on a test drive out of Miramar (KNKX) and flew around off San Diego. Test firing the guns, dropping bombs, turning on lights, peeking in the windows. Twilight landing at North Island (KNZY). This is a really great airplane and a perfect companion to the WoP B-17G. Thank you Baz and crew at Aeroplane Heaven.

**bazzar** · August 15th, 2015, 05:04

Glad you like her and thankyou for buying.

For those who would like to attempt taking her back to the US from England for a War Bonds tour, you'll find an extra set of tanks in the aircraft CFG. They are commented out for general use but if you un-comment them back in, you may have enough fuel to get home using the Northern route. You'll also have enough fuel for longer missions especially in the Pacific.

**Butcherbird17** · August 15th, 2015, 05:23

Starting to look the part. Still need to do some stenciling on her and i'm not to sure on the stars-n-bars. Some profiles show her the way I have her now and some show with just the star.

But I've always liked them with the red outline.

***PRB*** · August 15th, 2015, 06:11

What a great plane. Thanks AH people! I figured I needed a Pacific Theater B-17, so I started working on this one. 63rd BS, 43rd BG. Still has a few issues that need work, but coming along nice so far.

**MDIvey** · August 15th, 2015, 06:39

Barry... its very nice but can I ask... on the Miami Clipper model is that an error where the partially obscured white letters appear in front of the fuselage insignia? Looks odd.
