MicroProse B-17G Flying Fortress out of Early Access

v1.0.0 Thorpe Abbotts Update now available!
18 December 2025

After three updates over recent months, the Early Access phase of MicroProse's B-17G Flying Fortress for MSFS 2024 is now over and the new Thorpe Abbots Update brings the aircraft to the Version 1.0 milestone - see the B-17G Flying Fortress page for the updated aircraft details and a whole new set of screenshots!

See the image below (click for a larger version) for the featured changes in the new v1.0 edition and you'll find the complete list of the latest updates on the B-17G Support page. Microprose have confirmed that they are committed to updating the aircraft further.

Those of you who have already bought the Early Access Edition of the B-17G can download the new v1.0 software from your Just Flight Account and new buyers will get the latest v1.0 version of the aircraft.

The current reduced price for the B-17G was originally planned to last only as long as the aircraft was in the Early Access phase, but we understand from Microprose that this offer has been extended for a while longer, so don't delay if you were considering climbing aboard the definitive variant of the legendary B-17 heavy bomber!
