I just picked up B-17 II from the bargain bin and have been fiddling around with it. This might sound silly, but I can't get past the first tutorial about taxiing on the runway. The plane only starts to turn at substantial speed, but by the time I reach that speed I'm already off the runway (and failed the mission).
Is this a matter of wrong technique, or is it some technical issue (like maybe Windows XP + USB joystick = bad combination for a Win 98 game?) I ask this because I also noticed that controls are *really* sluggish in B-17 II's fighters.
