MicroProse has developers building various virtual reality titles at the moment. B-17 Flying Fortress simulators were among the old publisher's biggest hits, so a co-operative VR title about flying one of these iconic aircraft is in the works.

I hope :-)

Whoa... That's looking awesome!

I noticed some of the Navy jets with modex numbers. I was already awed by the individual squadron representation. Does each aircraft have its own modex as well? That's some ridiculous detail for RTS units!

Thanks. I generally just lurk. I don't typically have a lot to add to this place and my old account got deleted. Lol.

Would be good seeing B17 back watch all Taff's in exile videos of it

Excellent! I still have a bunch of their games on 3.5 floppies! M1Tank platoonII, Gunship, Gunship 2000 and a few more. Microprose was the best thing to happen to fledgling computers. Even other games on 5.25 floppies!

I hope it's not gonna be another Arcade style game. I sure miss first person view attending the various stations like in DW.

I think you're going to be disappointed, then. This one looks to be more like Fleet Command and Cold Waters. You're commanding a ship or fleet vs. manning all the stations and filling in for the whole crew.

That is a pity..
I do hope there's another DW style simulater on the drawing board somewhere.
