RCS North American B-25J RAF MkII FSX native

I know of no VC plans, but I did get permission from Roy to do and publish repaints, so I did:

All looking great as usual. Are they available somewhere for downloading??

The lack of a 3D cockpit really blunts enthusiam for an otherwise outstanding model. The MAAM-SIM cockpit would be perfectly adequate, were it not for the contentious relationship among the creators. The sound files for both B-25 versions contains that popping engine noise. That could stand some revision, for sure. For the above reasons I don't currently have that plane cued up.

I agree on the virtual cockpit, that is the only drawback to the RCS B-25. As for the popping and clicking sounds from the engines at low RPM, having flown on a B-25J, sitting behind the pilot, I can tell you that they are correct sounds. It is also quite deafening without headphones or ear plugs.

Yup, pretty standard for old Radials

B-25J Mitchell Bomber Ride - "Executive Sweet" over Donner Summit, Ca.

The real ride $425, this one, free, I did hear some pops/clicks when the plane landed and was taxing in.

Is the new version on Roy's website?

It also doesn't matter if a B-25 has the full set of all 28 short stacks or has the post-war collector ring exhaust with only 14 short stacks remaining, you'll definitely notice the popping exhaust when idling/taxiing from the inside of any of them, echoing off the side of the fuselage besides. (One exception however would be the Canadian-based B-25J "Hot Gen", which has no short stacks at all, since it has dual collector ring exhausts.)

No, it's available here:http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...id=37&id=24535

Much appreciated!

I cannot find any view options from the nose gunner position. Is there one or how can that view option be created?

Gray Eagle, maybe you can ask Erwin Welker.

Unfortunately the VC model only contains the Cockpit area and very little else which is why they did not provide camera positions for anywhere but the Captains Seat internally.

I did and he responded with a panel file that is mapped to the bombadier view and side gunner view. Using the SHift + numbers keys, additional views from the plane
have been added to the stock views.

My issue is that the any of these views are superimposed over the cockpit view. I can open any of the other views and they will add to the other views already opened.

[OzWookiee]

That's because they are 2d panels and not camera views. In order to use those you need to set your view to Cockpit, not virtual cockpit.

If you mean to select from the view menu then then all I get are camera views and none of them are of the 2d panels.

Not sure about set view to Cockpit view. I can, but none of the SHIFT+ number keys will trigger just one view.

I think I have it sorted now.

View from the bombardier window


Nice view of side gunners position but in reality, this view would be looking at left side if runway (relative external view) as well and not down the center line

[OzWookiee]

That you have
