MAAM B-25J Version 7

Bought, installed, lovely as I expected from Maam.
Yep, a portover, but on Windows xp, FSX Accell,
I love it!
 
$30 isn't bad. I have an older version of the MAAM-Sim B-25 for FS9. I like the idea of having one with a clickable VC as I do not fly from the 2D cockpits, but with a true FSX native B-25 in development, I'm just not sure I want to spend the money right now.
 
Bought, installed and flying very nicely.
Although a refined port-over, I've always like the quality of the MAAM products.

My magical thinking tells me that if I get the B-25 it will speed up their FSX R4D.
Pretty magical I fear...:icon_lol:
 
would love to but,

end of the day its still a port over, and i cant really justify it, I did miss it in FSX after the previous patches caused CTDs so sadly i had to let it go

Im going to wait for another dev to release theirs along with their TBM
 
MAAM B-25J VERSION 7 FOR FS2004

Just installed version 7 of this old trooper. VC is enhanced and much more 'clickable'. Excellent stack of re-paints - 43 in all. Previous re-paints work ok with the addition of some of the textures fm version 7.

Added some squeeky brake sounds, shockwave lts and engine smoke. Put a 2000 lb bomb load in as 'ext fuel tank' and scraped off the SARATOGA with a 25 kt head wind. Pity there was no JATO at that time!

What a lovely flt model this a/c has and the sounds are good. This model is no longer 'state of the art' as it was when it arrived for FS 2002, but it still has real presence and like the DC-3 from MAAM is a 'golden oldie'.

Well worth the financial outlay for those still with that other 'golden oldie' FS 2004.
 
And remember, each purchase isn't putting money in the MAAM-sim developer's wallets, it is going straight into supporting the flying operations and restorations at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. Thus, the goal in producing and releasing these products is to help support the museum's continued operations, for without them it would be one less means of gaining revenue to help keep resotrations like the museum's P-61 progressing smoothly to completion.

Purchasing an MAAM-sim product is like sending the museum a small cash-donation, and getting a great prize in return. Although it was originally built for FS2002, it still remains the most detailed, authentic, and accurate B-25 for Flight Simulator, with visuals, sounds, and flight dynamics that are legendary for their quality and precision in replicating the B-25 experience.
 
Bump for an old thread!

Just bought this baby yesterday and I must say I love the plane. It is amazingly good model for its age and certainly has the right feeling in it. FM is also very good. I am happy with it as there aren't that much good alternatives for FSX and money goes to good cause for the museum.

Only thing I'd like to fix is glass transparency. There is no problem with VC glass with Version 7, but there is still this problem with glass textures in external views becoming fully transparent when there is some objects with alpha channels in backround. Not a biggie, but sometimes annoying. Now, I've tried to fiddle with the textures I believe are the correct ones, but I don't seem to get them to behave the right way. Because MAAM-SIM team has quitted, there won't probably be any future fixes for their birds, so I was wondering has anyone managed to get the windows working like they should?

I am almost certain that the problem lies in the model, not in the textures and is pretty much universal in Fs9 models used in FSX.
As such, there won't be a solution.
If you happen to find one, please let me know as I have been looking on and off since 2007:mixedsmi:
 
Vertigo had a B25 FsXA native under development but I haven't heard anything from Vertigo for a while now.
 
Moune, as it is an Fs9 model the textures don't show in Dx10 and it fails on all the usual port-over issues. I will only have a B25 when there is an FsX native aircraft.

Their website is not accessible for me too. I don't know what is going on but perhaps Deano will update us if he still visits SOH.
 
i can get their web page, but it looks like they have got rid of their forums

on another note their facebook page hasnt got anything new

im not holding my breath on the B25 or DC3/C47, its looking like they have been quietly canned

A little reading of the previous posts would tell you that we were discussing the Vertigo studios FsX native B25 that would have been a creditable successor to the Fs9 MAAM Fs9 model. I fly in Dx10 mode and Fs9 models usually show as white textured ghosts in Dx10. However it appears that Vertigo's website is either no longer available or is undergoing mainteneance.

Whoops. I see it now. Sorry about that. I thought the topic was the MAAM B-25 Version 7 and didn't see the other discussions.
