i hope one can open the canopy in flight without a fatal MSFS structural failure. Because the P-40 on finals with a closed canopy is not authentic.

We'll find some workaround for sure 🙂

 

It looks really good (already). Thank you for the teasers, and don't be shy to post more screenies. Daily. 😛

What has bigger radials than the B-17? You can never go wrong when the engines are, and I quote, "turbosupercharged". There is no aircraft more iconic than the Flying Fortress and it would be an amazing aircraft to fly in MSFS2020. Hint, hint... 😁

The B17 had four 1823 cubic inch Wright R-1820-97 "Cyclone" at 1200 HP each. 

 

There are plenty of aircraft with bigger engines.

• the Corsair, P47 and quite a few others used the  2800 cubic inch Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp. 
• The B29, the Bearcat, the Super Constellation and the Sky Raider all had the 3348 cubic inch Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone
• The Tempest and the Sea Fury used a 3,270 cubic inch Bristol Centaurus
• The Convair B36 Peacemaker and also Howard Hughes Spruce Goose used the 4360 cubic inch Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major

Then there was the 7750 cubic inch 5000 HP Lycoming XR-7755 designed to power two contra-rotating propellers but as far as I know it never got past the prototype stage as the jet was taking over and funding was cut and it never flew.  The Smithsonian has one.

 

So yes lots of things had bigger radials than a B17  .

 

 

 ... and I want all of them  😄

So you CAN walk and chew gum at the same time. 😀

If you like big radials, FFWD this video I took at the AVRO museum to about 3.33 and enjoy, and notice all the oil which ended up on the camera lens:
