Hasbro owns the franchises and rights to the games, Microprose makes the games. At least this is my understanding.

Release dates are different? LOL!! As if things over there weren't screwed up enough.

U r joking aren't u, Whirlwind ;?) .My understanding is there is only -1- version, and it does NOT support MP :?( . Still will be a great sim, but lack of MP is a major hit.Who knows, perhaps we will get MP in a patch, but knowing how much Hasbro wants 2 dump ALL of its flight-sim products, I am not optimistic.

Then again, perhaps some disgruntled former employee who worked on B-17 II will release the source code 2 the public via the Web, as happened with Falcon 4.0 ;?) .That way, we may actually get MP after all, as well as a myriad of other improvements and add-ons.Yes, I know it's illegal, and no I'm not enciting anyone 2 commit a criminal act, but as the Beach Boys once sang, "Wouldn't it be nice?" ...
