               B-17 "Fixed"
The consensus among SWOTL fans was that the engines 
for the B-17 F & G models were both too "weak" when 
it came battle damage and overheating.  It is well
documented that `forts could make it home on "a wing
and a prayer" with more than one engine out.  However, 
in SWOTL, if you loose one engine you are pretty well
done for.  

This version increases the durability and 
lowers the max oil temp for the engines in the `17.
Though it may not be 100% acurate, it is much closer
to the real thing.  Understand that this will help you 
as an American Pilto, but make it tougher to down a 
B-17 as a German Pilot!

Enjoy,
