One of the most iconic aircraft of World War II, the B-17 Flying Fortress earned its reputation through durability, formidable defensive firepower, and an uncanny ability to bring crews home against the odds. As part of MicroProse’s Heritage Valor Collection, this is a high-detail recreation of the B-17G, the most widely produced and most refined variant, built for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Developed in collaboration with historians, foundations and warbird enthusiasts, including Hangar Thirteen and the 100th Bomb Group Foundation, this release is designed to be both immersive and historically grounded, from cockpit detail to sound and finish.
