For those interested, check out this training film for B-17 gunners voiced by Mel Blanc, better known for his role as Bugs Bunny. https://youtu.be/vtgAyGa79F8 I wonder how accurate they'll keep the shooting mechanics. As a casual player, I never would have thought to aim three crosshairs to the side of a Messerschmitt coming side-on.

OH man I played a TON of Silent Service. That could be some seriously tense gaming. I wish they'd re-release that somewhere ... granted I haven't looked. It might not have aged but I could go for a something like that again, maybe not full sim... more casual friendly.

This appears to be an exclusive press release to vrfocus.com. However they've apparently been sent many more images than they have chosen to display, for some reason. They seem to have modeled an entire B17 interior, and it is gorgeous:

With VR there’s plenty of other emergent gameplay opportunities you can do. You could vomit in a barf bag, talk to crew mates, smoke a cigarette, flip through a magazine, double check your emergency parachute, etc.
I keep reading about people using games for meetings. Set it all on easy so you don't have to worry about really Playing The Game, and you have a nice little limit on the length of your meeting: it all ends when you get to the target and Ralph hits the bomb button.
