State of the art, wouldn't mind such a thing in large scale on my shelf!
Or in Lockheed Martin's Prepar3d environment, for that matter.

That dam surely must burst any time, I see the first sceneries being prepared for it.
Orbx must be just one step behind....

No not behind. Orbx have had their Free PNW demo for Prepar out for over a week now. Its gona take a long while before Prepar3D is a viable alternative to FSX. Peoples experience with it suggests its improvments are just noticable and nothing to rave about.

Ian - knowing your interest in aviation art and the B17, I highly recommend Keith Ferris's print of his 75 ft wide original, hanging in the Smithsonian Museum.

Yeah thanks Marty , Just figured what the hell Charl and AndrewJ was going on about ... silly me , Course Lockheed/Vega built a large portion off the Boeing s during WWII actual fact was the group that introduced the chin turret 'F' model .
