I'll have to check this out myself, I have another paint of the 'F' prity much completed, of all things the pilot's son lives way down South in New Zealand , the aircraft was shot down over Holland on it tenth mission in 1943 .. a bit of history here http://b17bombers.freeforums.net/

It was the late model 'F' s build at Douglas, the B-17F-15-DL, that acquired the chin turret, with this modification wonder if they may step back in time for the 'E' variant , that would be an interesting prospect

No, the new package will just be called AH_B17 from the release onward. Existing customers will still be able to use their current download info. New purchasers will pay the existing price until Monday 10th April AEST.

Cheers mate. I popped over on the off chance and noticed it was there. I came back and edited my original post.. probably as you were posting otherwise I'd not have been able to edit it

Happy days

PC Aviator is still on v1.5. Oh well time for a little patience.

I downloaded it last night. The download showed as V2.0. Two new folders in P3D AH_B-17F-10 and AH_B17G.

[papab]

Downloaded V2 from JF
The only way you can tell is go to your account and download-it will say V2....

For some reason only the tail gunner is at the job
The waist,ball and top turret I think forgot to get on the flight...
I can not get the gunners to appear and get their 50 cal guns working...

What am I doing wrong?

When your in the cockpit, keep pushing the 'A' key and go through all the different cockpit views until yo get to the last one that shows a piece of paper. Click on the crew man to where they are green on this sheet. This will add the crewman to the plane.

They're pacifists.

You need to run the options screen which is available like RobH says or under the view menu or SHIFT+1 keyboard shortcut. All detailed in the, dare I say it , manual.

I'm assuming that a vendor notification like we do for ah customers will be winging its way to you at some point notifying you of the upgrade. It takes time to make those sort of things.

Yeah. Same here. I recall going through this additional waiting with the last update. Time for a brew.

[papab]

Thanks for a wonderful update!
Found the crew,now hard at work!
