Aeroplane Heaven B-25J (and B) released

SOH-CM-2023
This is an FS2020 SDK plane, but works with zero issues under FS2024. Creating this topic to discuss flying it under 2024 specifically.

I've been lucky enough to see a lot of B-25 action in the 2010s, when there were two of them flying at Paine Field in Washington state and a couple others who came in for airshows. The first thing I noticed here was, despite AH saying they're still working with their partner on sounds, how accurate the sounds are on the ground. First time I saw a B-25 running up at an airshow, I heard the sputtering and figured they wouldn't fly. Nope, that's just what B-25s sound like on the ground.

Three models included: Glass-nose B-25J, gun-nose B-25J, and the Doolittle Raiders B-25B. No carrier included, but I flew the B off of Flight Replicas' straight-deck British carriers they released for the Seafire; just be sure to put a fast wind straight down the deck. (Setup is documented in the manual.) Might have to pick up the Hornet that's apparently available on the Marketplace.

I will probably be picking this up -- if for no other reason than to see how low I can fly it over the swimming raft at Pianosa.
 
Thanks Ted ! :encouragement:

@Avangel: why don't you buy Chaseplane !? (or ask for a promo copy...). With the amazing 'Fly-By' view it'll give your presentations quite a bit more 'zingggg' ! (and that's just for starters...). You could've heard that AH is trying to establish the typical B-25 fly-by sound. Not there yet but it's a good start.
A touch of nightflying will be appreciated just as well. And don't start the engines and take-off ! Test the engines sound first while still parked ! Inside and out please ! With regard to the AH B-25: don't plop the nose wheel down upon landing! Keep it up in the air for aerodynamic braking. Could have said something about the excellent ground handling too.... And there's more missing, ma'am.... Awaiting Avangel 1.1... :cool:
