I'm thinking of doing a sim lets play and was wondering what people would like to follow most.
B-17 II - The Mighty Eighth. I started one of these ages ago, but never finished it.
Strike Fighters 2. This would probably be a Merc Campaign in the desert for a bit of fun, unless people wanted a specific scenario from Vietnam, Europe or Israel. And I'd need Shep's assistance in modding the campaign to alter names.
il-2 FB/1946. Again, not sure how to mod names here, but it could be any number of things: Eastern Front, Pacific, Finnish War.
I'm not sure if Gunship! allows for name changing, but I could throw that in the mix too.

Do B-17 since I have never been able to get it running on anything, ever.

Re: Let's Play proposal.
I'll throw in my hat for B-17 also, hilarious WW2 antics go!
This odyssey, this, exodus. Do we journey toward the promised land, or into the valley of the kings? Three decades ago I envisioned a new future for our species, and now that we are on the brink of realizing my dream, I feel only solitude, and regret. Has my entire life's work been a fool's crusade? Have I led my people into this desert, only to die?

B-17. No contest.

B-17, and again, give me Scuicide Jockey* or Catch-22**
*Bottom Ball turret gunner the man most likely to die in a B-17 crew.
**Navigator, the position the main character crewed.

Re: Let's Play proposal.
I'd like to take Right side then, if possible.
I can bring an aura of britishness to the plane!

Re: Let's Play proposal.
OK. I think I'll take nominations for one plane to start with. Unless I get a seriously large number of applicants I'll keep it to one plane as my god do you take casualties in this game and reservists are always appreciated.

I'll go top turret.

Re: Let's Play proposal.
With my terrible sense of direction, I'm the perfect choice for navigator! 
If you'll have me, that is! If not, then just jam my soon to be mutilated corpse somewhere.

Yeah, and I can go by Shaun Sharp myself. Lord Relvenous is a silly name for a waist gunner. For anyone, really.Norade wrote:Might as well go as Jason Dyson instead of my screen name.

Still going to need reserves. Lots of reserves. Seriously, if people think X-COM games are high casualty, then you ain't seen nothing yet.
Also - we'll need a name for our B-17.

Re: Let's Play proposal.
Guess I need a real name too, since borninshadow stinks for a navigator 
Gimme Aaron Johnson for my name, if it's not too much trouble. As for our plane...why not Reckless Thunder?

Damn, everybody is getting real names now...
How about Franklin Keosekkernbach Pezoszczezki? Since nobody, including the squadron commander, can remember how to spell his name, they just call him "Pez"
