Hi All,
Like many, I greatly anticipated B-17 The Mighty 8th. So much so that I even imported the UK version so as not to have to wait a few extra weeks for the US version. Alas when the game came out it had all the problems, plus my PC was not up to the task, and the game went on the shelf. In the 13 years since I've been working on my career (I'm an airline pilot now, so it's working out), got married and have 3 kids, and of course I've been enjoying other games/sims in the mean time, but B-17 has always been nagging at me as the one game I looked forward to so much but never played.
Well, now I've finally decided to give it a go and I may be just a couple years too late, as most of the community sites no longer exist (I have found the Mediafire site and the resurrected Doc's help links). Anyway, I'd like to do a simple, fun bomber commander tour, and from what I've read (and what I've played so far) it looks like Beery's R&R file may be just the thing to give me the experience I am looking for.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find it. It's not on any of the current B-17 sites that I've found. Beery's site is no more (and the Internet Archive does not contain the file either), and I've been unable to find current contact info for him as well.
Does anyone happen to still have his R&R file (I believe version 5 is the most "recent" one)? If not, any solid leads as to where I might find it?
Thanks.
