Boom Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I am so keen for this. The improvement in graphics alone is stunning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBFlyguy Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Most recent Dev Blog just posted on Monday, Redux is looking good! I wonder if they are really gonna make the Q4 early access release goal though?.... https://store.steampowered.com/app/2000800/B17_Flying_Fortress__The_Mighty_8th_Redux/ Edited October 25, 2023 by DBFlyguy 2 1 Quote "Straighten up and fly right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Thanks for the heads-up DB. I particulary like the bit about increasing formation size. In B-17 The Mighty Eighth (which I still have on my computer, and fly) formation size was limited to six (6) aircraft. Which I found underwhelming. Didn't do a lot towards creating an atmosphere of menace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kestrel79 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Wow next month! Very cool. It's on my list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFM Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Was supposed to be released today but at the last second they delayed it. Of course, on various fora this delay has caused a scheissestorm of "I'm not buying it now!" hissyfits and conspiracy accusations that might need Mike Lindell's involvement 🤣 So, the wait continues. Here's a vid that shows what we can expect, at least visually. You can see most of the graphics work went into the UI and B-17 interior. Exterior still looks very rough. However, they revealed today that they are indeed working on the B-17 exterior. Here's a screenshot they posted: Price on Steam is $14.99 USD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Happy to hear that they are looking to imporve the exterior graphics; it does need it. The interior looks great.

JFM Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Okay, it's not available on Steam yet but now it *has* been released on Good Old Games. https://www.gog.com/en/game/b17_flying_fortress_the_mighty_8th_redux $13.49 USD. No online requirement. I have a few games on GOG, works fine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
