I felt personally that they had no place for me in Flight simulator. If there were some other platforms (Combat Simulator) as example, the B25 would work. But at this point I don't see any reason to buy this aircraft for 2024. Where does it fit in other than just sitting in my hanger?

Huge piece of aviation history. 
Active Duty literally world-wide from 1941 to 1974!!!

You could even somewhat simulate the Doolittle mission, flying on the deck over Tokyo and then egressing to China. 

the options for interesting flights in a fast, twin-piston, always hands-on flying aircraft are nearly limitless.

Its not about dropping bombs, it’s about seeing the world though an entirely different lens.

The 1976 Movie "Midway" used this scene for the intro from the movie "30 Seconds over Tokyo"- it was incredible to see it in the theater with the sound cranked up!

I'll never forget the "Ruptured Duck" taking off from the Carrier Hornet in the driving rain- what a scene!

Thanks to AH for including the "Duck" in this package!

If I remember correctly, The B25 was released for FS 2000 and FS2004. There were 2 developers heated spats over infringements. I believe one of the developers Name was Roy Chaffon if I'm getting that right. He also released a free version of the plane to screw the other developer version who was charging $$ for their version. I owned both versions and felt personally that they had no place for me in Flight simulator. If there were some other platforms (Combat Simulator) as example, the B25 would work. But at this point I don't see any reason to buy this aircraft for 2024. Where does it fit in other than just sitting in my hanger?

Yes, one party in the dispute was the late Roy Chaffin.

I wish they could show everyone else how to do it!  

Really need to fix the prop gfx. In particular the spinner not moving and the prop just rotating around it.

Actually, he probably means the MAAMsim B-25, which was quite popular back then as I recall...

Showed up today. 👍

Any chance of a button to remove the gunsight on the other models?
