Hello,

the chances of that being the second aircraft are slim to none.

Lewis, your response gives me great encouragement. Not the first but in the lineup is what I heard 8) . I'd love to fly the B-17, the Connie, the 377 and the P-51 in MSFS. I hope they are all in the lineup at some point.

Cheers
Roger

Hi Lewis,
I am a huge B-17 fan and I have (and adore) the A2A B-17 for FSX. This lady is truly my passion. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to go back to FSX to fly her these days, and I don't have the foggiest idea about converting her for FS2020. With Masters of the Air having just concluded, I am missing flying her as much as ever!

Is there any chance that A2A would be willing to "donate" their B-17 model for a community-run freeware conversion? Some other developers have done this sort of thing - either doing a freeware conversion themselves, or authorizing community members to do so. I think it is such a shame that this beautiful plane is not in FS2020 yet, and it would be a great opportunity to engage and benefit the community while not stopping A2A in any way from recreating the B-17 as a full-featured FS2020 product down the road.

While I don't have the technical skills, I would be more than happy to help find those that do and to organize/coordinate in any way possible.

Regards,
Raven
