Looks like Vertigo studios removed their website. Their facebook is still up.
It looks like the B-25 wont be coming. The last update on it was February 24th 2014.
And the last entry to their Facebook was February 24th, 2016.

I hope they did'nt go belly up.
 
I think a lot of us were waiting on this one . I think this originally started back in 2012 . In the mean time there is a FSX enhanced B-25 from MAAM (Still a Port-over ) that they put together from the old original that came on a CD . I had the original CD and I think all the updates may still be available on their site to make it FSX compatible . I decided to chip in and purchase the "Briefing Time 7th Edition" that has all the updates in on one package plus 40 repaints. I didn't mind contributing to a good cause MAAM . They have some beautifully restored old classics at their museum . To my surprise this latest remake of the original(a couple years old) works well in P3D v3.2 with the exception of a couple of gauges . I never did get it to work in P3D v2.xxxxx . Here is the link to MAAM's Briefing Time 7th Edition : http://www.maam.org/php/xcart/product.php?productid=16778&cat=256&page=1

I could be wrong but I thought I read that Warbirdsim.com John Terrell (Bomber_12th) might have mentioned a B-25 on the drawing board .

Yeah. I have the MAAM sim B25. I was just hoping for a good quality FSX native B25. And Vertigo's was looking real good.
I hope i am wrong about Vertigo. But it dont look to good at the moment.
I also seen that from Bomber12th. But aside from what he has said, their has never been any other info made available about their doing a B25.
I have also not seen any info about the P39 they were doing. It would be nice to know where that is today in development of these 2 planes.
 
A native P-39 and B-25 would really be nice . Hopefully someday . I saw a B-25 at an airshow 7 or 8 years ago and got a real good look (external only) . That and watching " 30 Seconds Over Tokyo " several times I'm hooked .:adoration:

I volunteered for years at the Planes of fame in Chino. And had several chances to climb all over one of their B25's inside and out.
An awesome plane no mater how old it is. You have to love them gull winged birds.
Awesome video here. 3:40 is where the show really begins. Love that sound.

I do recall one guy going off his nut with a product, I tried to help on the VS forum and Dean simply pulled the plug, think he would be just taking a good long break from the mayhem and workings of running a payware company, I was more looking forward to the Greyhound , one that is a completely different aircraft , another couple years I'm sure VS will be back.
 
...And the T-33A. If I had to guess (based on NO data or inside knowledge), I would find it hard to believe Deano is pulling the plug. Let's just hope it's (FINALLY) 1100 Hrs on 11-11-1918 in VS land, WW I has ended, and they can get rolling again with products that have a....uh...let's say...uh...much wider appeal. Perhaps Deano is revamping the site ("We're tanned, we're rested....It's the NEW VS!!!"). We'll see-- thinking positive thoughts for VS.

Some of us actually enjoy the aircraft of the 'Great War in the Air'!

I was really wanting that Greyhound but it eventually became clear it was never going to come. I have no interest whatsoever in 100 year old biplanes.
 
I hate to hear this as I really enjoyed their F9F, SBD, and originally the F6F. I was really looking forward to the B-25, F4F, C-2, and hoped the F9F Cougar would have appeared. Maybe those models will surface under a new name one day.
 
Really hope they haven't just disappeared. I've really been looking forward to their B-25C for years now. Not only did we need an FSX native B-25, but the early variants always appealed more to me and are sadly not represented in anyway in this simulator.

They did have some nice models while they were active, but Deano could be a bit trying at times. The F9F was a prime example. It was released with a tail hook that worked, as Deano insisted, exactly as it did in real life. Problem was, in real life, after a trap, the tail hook was apparently reset by the deck crew. . .we don't have deck crews in Flight Sim, so the only way to reset the tail hook in the sim was to reload the airplane. Deano didn't see that as a problem. . .I did and so did many others, enough so that it was eventually fixed (about a year later). I hate seeing any of the good developers disappear from the ranks, but you also have to have an understanding of who and what you are developing for.
 
I Skyped with Deano last month about things and the T-33 and everything seemed to be going fine. But who knows?

You do get the thoughtful and you get the thoughtless, I'm pleased I stuck to doing freeware or least helping on the other side, I did like that Panther ! I got to watch 'Bridges of Toko-Ri' multi pull times :adoration:
