Updated October 29, 2025 8:32 pm (8 months ago)
B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th Redux is a remastered version of the classic World War II bomber simulation. Take command of a ten-man B-17 crew, assuming roles from pilot to bombardier and machine gunner. Plan missions, navigate through flak and enemy fighters, and deliver payloads over occupied Europe in historically inspired campaigns.
B-17 Flying Fortress The Mighty 8th Redux overview
The missions undertaken by the crews of B-17 bombers during World War II are the stuff of legend. What was it like to fly through relentless anti-aircraft fire over Nazi-occupied Europe? What was it like to have a thin layer of steel between life and death at 15,000 feet? How did it feel to furiously fend off enemy fighters zipping around your plane and then to precisely deliver your payload over enemy targets?
Find out for yourself as you lead a 10-man crew to victory… or defeat… against squadrons of Nazi warplanes in the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress!
Redux The same experience remastered with the original engine upgraded to support the functionality present in DX 12. Working on the redux will give us the opportunity to look back and learn in order to push forward with future Flying Fortress titles.
