I've got 2 "concerns" about that:

- Why the B-17? Who will buy it, now that we have a very nice Accusim one?
- I always get a bit suspicious with developers listing a whole bunch of "coming soon"s... The Devon has not been released yet but they've put 3 new aircraft on the "coming soon list" since they uploaded the first image about it. To say the least, they're very ambitious... Let's hope soon doesn't man 2 years like for some other developers...

On the bright side - the texturing these guys do is simply amazing, and I'm really looking forward to their stuff...whenever it comes out.

B-17 without a chin turret , I Love A2As Fortress but to have the 'F' , in concert with with a 'G' for screens .. now that would be so late 1943 early 1944 style, what most don't realize the chin gun was first added to the Lockheed built 'F' model , think we will have to wait and see... I do like the built in bomb release mode B-)

The Devon would be close to release looking at those screens , that will be a goodie , good thing as you pointed out , the production speed ... maybe it is virtual wartime and we need those planes :)

Looking forward to their other products (notably the Aztec) and while this looks nice, I think I'll skip it in favor of the similar A2A model.

A2A covers the 'G' .. but this would be a great complement there B-17 , imagine the Waring historical screens B-)
