I received my MAAM B25 CD's a few days ago, and I just had to tell you guys how impressed I am with your extremely high quality work! This aircraft is absolutely incredible. It is the aircraft I have been searching for since I got FS9. It meets and exceeds all of my expectations. I ordered it on a Saturday, and had it by the following Tuesday. This is a testament to the efficiency of your volunteer organization, considering it had to go through Canada Customs, the US Mail, and Canada Post. This the first time I have purchased payware, or in this case I should say Donationware. This is a great cause, and everyone benefits. Bravo Zulu! A job well done!Bill

We certainly appreciate the high praise. Thanks for the support.Bill Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, Young, and Womackhttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo.gif

I was just going to post the very same thing, but I'll 2nd your comments.Received my "BT" in the mail today. Watched the cool videos (I loved the landing video), read the book, up to a certain point, then said "heck with this, I going flying!" I got the engines started the hard (correct) way, taxied out and took off.Wow! I am very impressed. It's better than any plane in the stack of planes that comes with FS9. I've been flying the DC-3 around in anticipation of the B-25 arival (you know, radial engines), so you can imagine the grin I had when upon getting the gear and flaps up, trimming out and setting the engines for cruise, I was going over 200 MPH! Ha! Oh yeah, and I like how it pops and cracks while idling on deck, just like real...The only "down" side, and I was expecting this, is that it's working my poor "old" 1.6 MHz computer pretty hard. I've got frame rate "issues"... I ran the "medium" version. Since I spend most of the time on the flight deck, I can sacrifice climbing around the turrets and such, but I do insist on a VC, so medium was the way to go, but it was still pretty choppy. Time to upgrade anyway... :)Good work MAAM people. Now, about that P-61...!prb

Yeah,I got my copy back in the spring. I was amazed at how quick it came, even by snail mail. The volunteers really have it on the ball, to get it out as soon as they receive the order.It is fast becoming one of my favorites. I like to fly it in and out of some of the dirt fields in NJ. Dix, Rudys.I have one problem with some kind of bug either in 2K2 or my CH controllers. I can't get the autopilot to work with the key controls. ( dosn't work with the Cessna, either)Minor detail, It's still FUN to fly.Keep up the good work, guys. Lets have the Gmax R4D !!!

I love the 498th BS "falcon-head" gunship version. I am a Pacific war history type anyway, and it looks awesome. As it happens, it seems that this version is less of a, forgive me, "frame rate hog", than the green house ships. Perhaps this is because the green house is not modeled in this version, and the polygon count is that much less. I don't know. Perhaps you MAAM BT development team people could straighten me out on that theory...I finally landed the ship, and I didn't bend it! Took off from, and landed again at, NAS Lemoore, CA. It wasn't pretty, but I did it, and all the major bits were still attached... I work here in the flight sim building, and all my "flight test" hops are from here. It's great for that: runways are 200 feet wide and 13,500 feet long. I think they are the longest runways on the entire west coast. I think. And it's flat as Kansas here in the Central Valley. Come check it out. The major buildings are even in the right places, more or less.Again, great job MAAM BT people!prb
