There is a complete and comprehensive maintenance hangar that you can take your aircraft to when on the ground with the engines shut down. Occasionally parts of the aircraft will become worn or fail from ordinary use, just as occurs in real life. If the engines and the various systems of the simulated B-17 are not operated correctly according to the aircraft manual, the plane will perform less than optimally, and if taken to the extreme, damage and failures will occur just as they would under similar circumstances in the real world. What this means is that when you are flying and operating the A2A Accu-Sim B-17G you will have the uncanny feeling that you are actually in command of a real world B-17. In fact, there are many features in this simulation that have never before been modelled or included in any other aircraft simulation. With multiple cameras rolling and microphones in hand, A2A developers crawled within every nook and cranny of the cockpit so that every sound and sight that a B-17 pilot would experience is there for you, right down to the wind rushing over the airframe and the characteristic vibrations and tremors of the real aircraft.Īs with all A2A Accu-Sim aircraft, nothing has been left out which operates in the real aircraft. To ensure the accuracy and fidelity of the simulation, A2A developers were privileged to take flights in lovingly maintained B-17s with eyes and ears wide open. You can almost smell the leather seats, the hot oil, and the pungent exhaust from those four Wright R-1820-97 Cyclone turbo-supercharged, 1,200 hp radial engines. The unique A2A Accu-Sim system puts you in the B-17’s cockpit in a way that only flying the real thing could match. This is the most authentic, complete and accurate simulation of the legendary B-17 ever created.

Take a look at Greg McKenzie's cockpit panorama for a full 3D tour of the B-17G cockpit! This package is complete with the A2A Accu-Sim Expansion Pack, providing an extremely high level of complexity and authenticity in the aircraft operations - see the Extended Description section below for full details. Realistic start-up procedures, including engine mesh controls The latest wind-tunnel technology helps to create the most authentic and fluid flying qualities, including complex spins and stalls Gorgeously constructed inside and out, down to the last rivetįully clickable cockpits with authentic working gauges The Fortress was a very stable and forgiving aircraft, truly a 'pilot's aircraft' in all respects. Designed during peacetime, the aircraft was not rushed to the drawing board and emerged as wonderful aircraft to fly. No other aircraft which served during WWII came away with as many documented cases of surviving extreme battle damage and making it home. The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was, first and foremost, a supremely functional and extremely rugged aircraft.
