Hey, Art, have you seen this game yet? I know you aren't a flight sim fan, but
the Combat Flight Simulator game has some interesting functions that you may
find interesting. In its latest form, CFS 3 contains the ability to ride in
the 344th BS aircraft, in all of the gunner positions, pilot, or bombadier
position. The game lets you fly a campaign aboard the ship, attacking
airfields and logistics. Not surprising, the game sends you out after a lot of
bridges, where I always seem to collect a few "virtual" flak holes. Looking
out through that glass nose while Fritz chucks dozens of 88 shells in your path
sure doesn't look much fun. I know its just a game, but it does give some
appreciation for the difficulties your mates faced, except for the beer at my
elbow and my son giving helpful advice,etc...
