Hey ikrananka,
Very good video and sure to help a bunch of people (myself included)! I used to play it way back when and been meaning to try it again, but have never bothered to look for all the patches and mods. Liked and subbed! |

If you buy the game from GOG or Steam it comes fully patched which is nice. I'm just uploading the second video now, which covers adjusting Joystick Sensitivity. The third video will cover where to currently find mods, which are my recommended ones, and also how to install them. |

B-II is a good example of a game mechanic that worked in earlier game (B-17 Flying Fortress) that has been improved. I played B-17 I on my 486 way back, but B-17 II, I love them both, but II adds more of the human elemenent to the game, visually wounded crew etc. |

I've got TME on GoG but need to get a new joystick before I play any more of it. Looking forward to getting back into it!

I dl'd this several months ago but will enjoy having some help getting started. I don't have much game time these days but I still have interest.

This game I wished they developers kept working on. So much more could have been done. All in all still a great game as it stands.

I'm looking to see if the virtual joystick driver and curve software can make my Sidewinder 2 relevant again. I loved that joystick but had to replace it when the software wasn't developed further. The Saitek Cyborg I replaced it with just doesn't come close and I can't justify spending big bucks on a new flight control system.

WOW! With my rudimentary Cessna 172 skills and two still-living uncles, both 94, who flew these to offer advice, I might just manage it. I'm gonna need a big pot o' coffee for the tutorials!

Please pass on my eternal gratitude to your two uncles. Playing a game is one thing but living it in the real world is quite another. Have they spoken much to you about their experiences flying in B-17s? |
