B-17 FLYING FORTRESS - THE MIGHTY 8TH They called it `The Mighty Eighth', the US Army Air Force 8th Bomber Command that flew daylight missions over occupied Europe, striking at specific military targets with pinpoint accuracy. B-17 Flying Fortress 'The Mighty Eighth' grabs all the latest revolutionary 3D graphics technology to recreate that period and gives you total control of every aspect of this strategic air war (including the opposition). Command one B-17 or a squadron of twelve in full battle formation, look after 10 or 120 crewmen and jump into the shoes of any one of them. Plan strategic missions based on reconnaissance you have requested. Fly in the escort planes or even the Luftwaffe fighters who are trying to shoot the B-17s down! The Complete Flight Simulation:
Battle through the mayhem of flak and cannon shells as the pilot or co-pilot. Become the bombardier, and identify the target by setting data into, and controlling, the revolutionary Norden bombsight. As the navigator you'll have to get the B-17 there and back using your detailed map and you'll have to provide vital wind drift information for the bombardier. As a radio operator you'll be in charge of messages to and from the bomber. Finally, as a gunner you've got to defend the aircraft by scanning the skies, spotting and destroying enemy fighters with the help of gun sights and realistic tracer round. Each of the Crewmembers has an AI, which uses the individual skills and characteristics of the crewmember to determine his behavior. Experience, ability, injuries and panic modify this AI so that the crewmembers behave in the most lifelike way possible. Back at base each crewmember has his own entry in the personnel files, kept up to date with efficiency reports, mission histories and information on medals, injuries etc. Medals and promotions are awarded through a points system and reflect the achievements of the individual.
