In case you guys missed it.....RCS B-25 for FSX is out

Thanks for the HU and of course for this beauty! :applause:

EDIT: removed the link, because the fix is not for this version :redface:
 
They're still determined to smash that rather expensive Norden bombsite with the inaccurate pintle mounted nosegun though...

Pity they never bothered trying to do any research while making the model "different". :173go1:
 
is it FSX native?
can I give it a whack in FS2004?

I love the MAAM-SIM version, but it is slightly dated and I would like a newer version of the Mitchell....
 
It's a FS9 model but very performance friendly. Only the panel takes some time for loading - load the 2D Panel first and let it initialize and then switch through all views and into the VC to ensure that everything works perfectly.
I don't think that the gauges will work in FS9 but i don't have Fs9 anymore.
It's great work and freeware :welcome::applause:
 
Reading further down the page on his site it looks like it's FSX native for Sp2/Acceleration?? This one is going on my harddrive tonight! Anxiously awaiting VC pics from some of you that have downloaded.

It is not FsX native but in Dx9 frames are good for a complex model and the vc is good.:ernae: I had no problem going straight to vc.

Excellent!!! I had an earlier version without a VC and am thrilled to get an FSX version with such a detailed VC. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and I look forward to building some hours in her!!!

Am downloading it now

Question ....will any of the other repaints from FS9 work on this one. Also is there any US repaints for it as well

thx in advance

I'm afraid I'm going to sound 'critical' here...

I'm rather disappointed when it comes to the VC.
You can't fly this aircraft exclusively from the VC since
the started switches, mags and lighting switches in the VC
are not functional.

I use TrackIR and using a 2D panel in FSX is NOT an option, IMO.

There is no animation of throttles or yoke in the VC. In fact
they are not even present there.

I do appreaciate the VC gauge layout, VC clarity and the
external views from the VC but I'm afraid this is going to
be deleted from my system.

Another 'sticking point' with me is the use of self installers.
I prefer to install aircraft, scenery , etc to the folders of
my choice. For this particular aircraft, I forced the install
to my FSX\TEMP folder where I moved all the gauges
into the panel folder...I don't WANT addon gauges cluttering
up my main gauges folder, especially when they are 'tailor
made' for a particular aircraft.

For military aircraft, I have a folder "FSX Military Aircraft"
that resides entirely outside of my FSX main folder. Just
as I have seperate folders for "Propliners", FS9 ports into
"Aircaft", "AI Aircraft", "Military AI Aircraft".

FSX 'allows' for this sort of customization and for a developer
to attempt to remove that feature by supplying a 'hard-wired'
installer or an addon that relies upon a particular location
is simply not acceptable to me, be it freeware or payware.

It just seems a shame to me to have a developer, again either
freeware or payware, go to what is obviously a great deal of
effort in creating an addon and then 'short-change' the whole
product by not addressing what I consider essential FSX
elements....primarily
a VC that allows operation from a cold & dark environment
right up to becoming airborne and navigating to the destination
without having to rely upon 2D pop-ups.

But then that is MY criteria...YMMV...

I do like to be able to choose the install folder...I have my aircraft separated into categories like; "Single Engine Props", "Twin Props", etc...Other than that, I have no real problems with the new B-25...Having taken a stab some years ago at designing a plane, I know and appreciate the work that goes into it...I never did figure it out! This is a good forum for suggestions and constructive criticism...I hope there will be some repaints coming along soon...

As far as I know, the MAAM Sim B-25 virtual cockpit lacks clickable switches as well, unless they changed it for FSX. Several years ago I downloaded the RCS B-25 and was impressed. I ended up purchasing the MAAM B-25 so that I could fly from the VC. I'll check out the new RCS B-25, if it is now equal to the MAAM offering, then perhaps MAAM will overhaul theirs and make the VC dynamic. Otherwise, why buy when you can get the same for free?
