FlyingIron Simulations - New Announcements for MSFS

Wikipedia reports this- Pratt & Whitney R-2800-43 Double Wasp .

And apparently that includes the prototype and earliest models- the B-26A

This article says 2600 though.

Anyway, I didn’t see dual rows of cylinders, so I thought the R-1820.

All speculation, of course!

Unlike the Boston/Havoc :wink:

I’m a moron, yeah the B25 had the 2600- I don’t know why i kept thinking about the B-26 apologies.

Oh boy I wish that one was real.

Goshdarnit- what did I look at?! :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I think I read someplace that they wanted the 2800 for the B-25, as it was the best engine they had, but the production line was already maxed out.

Someone over at MSFS claims it is a B-17. No details as for the source, though.

I read on the Flying Iron discord that it’s not a plane with 4 engines but…

Yeah, the cowling doesn’t look quite right for a B-17 either, but it could be WIP or maybe the 3D perspective…

"At the end of last year, Flying Iron announced that they would be developing a WW2 ā€˜heavy’, and have now confirmed that it is the B-17G Flying Fortress. No great surprise there - a good choice, as everyone loves a Fort. They made the confirmation on Discord.

This is unfortunate because I’d rather have a dose of herpes than use Discord, so, if anyone is willing, can they copy and paste what the announcement actually said. Much appreciated in advance."
