A History of Military Flight Simulations on the PC
by Len "Viking 1" Hjalmarson The New Millennium Early in 2001 Microprose passed into history, purchased by Hasbro Interactive and then dismantled. Hasbro Interactive, meanwhile, released Wayward Design’s B-17 Flying Fortress 2, a simulation destined for classic status. B17 emphasized the aircrew experience, with the ability to man any position in the Flying Fortress. Featuring state-of-the-art graphics, detailed crew animations and a full 3d environment, B-17 Flying Fortress 2 blends the action and role playing genres. B-17 Flying Fortress 2 features a dynamic campaign system, but its release was marred by the exclusion of key features, like multiplayer support and detailed engine management. The engine management issue was later addressed in a patch. |
