These missions are some of the most tense and tough missions I've ever flown, with tons of flak, as well as several enemy aircraft, tying to prevent you from succeeding. The final missions (supposing you're lucky/good enough to make it that far) take you right into the center of the German heartland, Berlin. The missions start off simply but get harder and harder as the campaign goes on.
#BOMBER CREW DEMO FULL#
B-17 Flying Fortress challenges you to fly through a full twenty-five sortie campaign, which is what the actual bomber flyers from World War II had to go through. The missions, of course, are where you'll spend the bulk of your time in the game. The manual, overall, is excellent, with great writing and lots of informative stuff.
#BOMBER CREW DEMO MANUAL#
The manual details your first mission and helps you through it in a tutorial. You can jump to any of the ten positions from here, and you can move personnel around to cover for others who have been injured.Ī word of warning: If you move a crew member away from a position, such as the top turret, you won't be able to access that station until it is manned again. It is from here that all of your crew management takes place, hence the name of the screen. This gives you a cut-away layout of your bomber with each crew member in his station. When you first get to your plane, you're greeted with the crew management screen. Once you've read your briefing, it's off to the plane. This is because the missions are randomly generated with each game, ensuring tons of replayability. You might notice that, each time you begin a game, the missions might be a bit different. In typical Microprose style, the mission briefings are presented in a virtual briefing room with a picture of your commander giving them to you. Once those are selected, it's off to your first mission, which is described for you in the briefing. The game begins with you selecting your bomber's name and nose art, which are both quite important. This allows you to intervene personally when you think that your more experienced hand is needed. Let's look at this in detail, shall we?ī-17 Flying Fortress models ten stations for your use, including the bombardier, navigator, engineer, radio operator, both pilots, and four gunners. There's no need to worry, however, because the game can handle itself quite nicely while you're not directly in control of any one station. This might seem a bit daunting to the usual flight sim enthusiast, who only has to worry about himself and his plane. B-17 Flying Fortress gives you the opportunity to manage and control the whole crew of the B-17 Flying Fortress. Microprose gives us the opportunity not only to fly this legendary beast, but to take part in other tasks, such as bombing, navigating, and gunnery. While there are scores of other sims allowing us to fly nimble fighter aircraft, B-17 Flying Fortress gives us the chance to fly one of the most famous bombers of World War II, the B-17 Flying Fortress, famous for its stamina, strength, and fortitude. B-17 Flying Fortress has the distinction of being the only game of its kind.
