About B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th
B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th puts you in command of a 10-man bomber crew flying historically accurate missions over Nazi-occupied Europe, where you can man any position from pilot to tail gunner and manage crew survival through a full 25-mission campaign. Manage your squad's strengths and injuries, engage enemy fighters, navigate to your targets, and execute bombing runs with full control over the aircraft and its systems.
Find out for yourself as you lead a 10-men crew to victory... or defeat... against squadrons of Nazi warplanes in the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress!
A WWII Campaign to fight and survive through
Carry out a realistic 25-missions tour of duty based on historically accurate scenarios and targets, or Take to the skies in "Quick Start" assignments with available Instant Action mode.

Take total control: Take-off, land, shoot from various crew positions, navigate across a realistically mapped Europe, operate the radio, line up the bomb run, release the bombs and bail out if necessary.

Choose your plane, choose your allegiance
Fly a variety of aircraft from the legendary B-17 to the rugged escort fighters - Choose between the American B-17G bomber, P-38 Lightning, P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, and the German Bf 109, Fw 190, and ME 262 fighters. Yes, you can even fight "The Mighty Eight" in the role of a German Luftwaffe pilot!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th is a faithful but dated recreation of a classic DOS flight simulator that demands patience and manual study due to its steep and unintuitive control scheme. Players praise its immersive atmosphere and realistic flight dynamics for those willing to invest the learning curve, but most agree the original version is now overshadowed by its Redux successor, which offers modernized UI improvements and better quality-of-life features.
GET THE REDUX VERSION if you want the UI photo graphical upgrades, Steam playtime tracking and some small but helpful quality of life upgrades. Example: You can use a mouse to control the Norden Bombsight in the Redux version but NOT in this version. MADE FOR DOS It looks like a DOS game (1990's) which means it should be free IMHO. REDOING THE SCREEN SETUP Steam isn't tracking actual playtime (just the setup screen) and you have to do the setup for screen size (modern windows systems) each time you start the game. It might be worth it for nostalgia reasons on sale.1 found this helpful
hi, can t fire the game,upp, or start, game, iam onn,win 10, can anybody,help me, his there patch, to get it running, thank you.
This product has now been completely made outmoded by its [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2000800/B17_Flying_Fortress__The_Mighty_8th_Redux/]redux[/url] edition. With that said, players can expect to immediately face the torturous control scheme, where it is a feat in its own to lift off the ground and an almost Sisyphean task to land without crashing. Not even the tutorial missions can alleviate this fact, as they lack guidance and expect players to have read the 100+ page manual first. As someone familiar with programs like Microsoft [i]Flight Simulator[/i], there are better ways to program simple and elaborate flight controls without requiring a thick manual. This game may as well require players to have 1,500 total flight hours in real life as well if they want to go the extra mile in being as technical and burdensome as possible.
Was pretty fun back in the day for the short time I was able to play, seemed pretty realistic too. Steep learning curve I never totally conquered but I was learning it as I played. This still seems pretty much the same, I just haven't had the patience to relearn as of yet though, impressed it's playable! Very immersive and nice atmosphere too.
The worst game I own. I SOOoooo wanted this to work. I'm out...
The time played is attached to the launcher for the game, not the actual time spent in game.
