A symbol of history, perseverance, and bravery, the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress was forged in the skies over Europe and is famous for returning crews home against insurmountable odds. With an accuracy and level of detail befitting her fame, MicroProse will recreate this legend in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on 9 October 2025, with an MSFS 2020 version to follow later on.

B-17 Flying Fortress: The Queen Early Access October 9 Trailer
More than just simulation is at stake here. The main goals are to keep these incredible warbirds in the air for future generations to enjoy, to pass on our love of flying to them, and to preserve our heritage.
The development journey
Months of painstaking work have gone into recreating every single feature of the B-17G, including the bomb bay, top and ball turrets, the tail gunner’s position, and every inch in between. Joining fully animated crew stations, period-correct details, and authentic sounds captured directly from the flying B-17 Sentimental Journey are optional modern avionics for those who desire more navigational capabilities, as well as period-correct details.
Professionals versed in the aircraft’s actual behavior are assisting with the tuning of flight dynamics and systems. This meticulous attention to detail, along with the meticulous visual work, guarantees that the B-17G will have a genuine feel both when flying and when exploring.
Early access approach
As soon as the B-17G is “ready to start using,” it will be available in Early Access, giving sim pilots a chance to fly while also giving important feedback for future updates. While the team works to complete the sophisticated systems and make further improvements, they are releasing the aircraft in stages so that the community can connect with it early on.
Product features
An obsession with historical accuracy, meticulous study, and top-notch craftsmanship went into creating the B-17 Flying Fortress for Microsoft Flight Simulator. To pay tribute to the legacy of this legendary plane, we recreated it in stunning detail and made it as immersive as possible.
Launch features for the aircraft include a high-fidelity flight model, interior and exterior hand-crafted 4K PBR textures, effects for engine vibration both inside and out, sounds from Sentimental Journey’s engine, cockpit sounds recorded specifically for the add-on, and animations that can be used in multiplayer modes to further immerse players.
In addition to a maintenance model, a fully functional electrical system with circuit breakers, visible wear and tear, and an in-sim clipboard for basic aircraft functions will be available to pilots.
Looking ahead
With the B-17G as its inaugural member, the Heritage Valor Collection kicks off a larger initiative to acquire historically important warbirds for the Museum of Flight Simulation (MSFS). Aircraft that pay homage to these legendary planes are already in the works, with the goal of bringing them to life for the modern generation of sim pilots.
There will be a full crew, first-pass animations, a prototype of the in-sim clipboard system, a range of authentic liveries, and all basic systems, including the initial flying model, for the B-17G when it launches in Early Access. Following that, MicroProse will adhere to a regular update cycle, delivering new content and improvements every two weeks for about eight weeks, until the final release version.
Additional liveries, a crew configuration system, a maintenance mode, optional modern avionics, a paint kit, and the MSFS 2024 walk-around system will be added to the experience in that final release. The B-17G will be one of the most satisfying aircraft experiences in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and the team plans to keep improving it beyond the final release by fixing bugs, introducing new features, and responding to user input.
Call to experience
This isn’t just an add-on for flight simulators; it’s an opportunity to experience what it was like to fly the “Flying Fortress” in the days when four Wright Cyclone engines rumbled through the air.

Major graphics update, long-awaited map changes, new weapons and more
Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software are pleased to announce that the “Scorching Rays” major content update is now available for the online military shooter Enlisted. It brings new weapons, vehicles and headgear, as well as significant upgrades to the Tunisia map, and of course — ray tracing support for the latest graphic cards.

The research tree has been expanded with interesting weapons like the Kawaguchiya shotgun (a double-barreled shotgun with a bayonet), and the iconic “Chicago Typewriter”, an M1921AC Thompson submachine gun with a 50-round drum magazine. New vehicles have also been added, the Churchill VII heavy tank with 152 mm of frontal armor, the Chi-Nu II with a powerful long 75 mm cannon, and the lightning fast Ki-83 interceptor.
Players can also now get rewards from previous Battle Pass seasons, including rare weapons and vehicles, along with unique soldiers. The ability to get some of these is available until the 7th of October.
Ray tracing support greatly improves the visuals of the game by making lighting and reflections much more realistic. Various RT options can be enabled and disabled independently to allow for scaling performance for your specific GPU. Many more graphical details have also been added, like improved impact marks and explosion effects, plus other smaller details such as craters left by crashed aircraft and dirt on lenses.
Finally, the “Kahif cave village” section of Tunisia has been completely overhauled, making the once desolate desert a blooming oasis. We’ve also improved the layout of the terrain to make it easier to navigate both on the outskirts and within the village.
More information on the update is available at the official Enlisted website.
