Had some hopes this would get a remake and now it seems it is happening.

 

I had the the first version, can't wait for this, looks stunning.

MicroProse and Valiant Effort seems to have joined forces, Besides B17s and B24s, also the Lanc is to be expected in this new game. There's some more news here:

Yup! I found a sealed boxed copy in the flea market back in 1998.

Wow!

I had several MircoProse games back in the day. F19 Stealth Fighter, M1 Tank Platoon, Red Storm Rising etc. I remember they all came with thick manuals with all kinds of info on military hardware.

Yeah, I think it is a pity most simulators come without a printed manual these days. Of course there are many YT videos on every subject, but I like having a good old manual for reference.

And for something as a PMDG aircraft it is mandatory. Good thing I have a fast color laserprinter and a spiral binding machine...
