While flying the BT, I have Num Lock off, select Ctrl + 8(num pad), and haveee the bombardier view; but the BT goes into an immediate nose dive: Any comments or ideas? Thanks, Edd1

I have just donated my $5 to MAAM to get the old version of the R4D (I got a friend to donate for me when the original FS2k version came out), and forgot all about it until the other day. Anyway, I have updated it for FS2k2, and donated to the museum, and I cannot for the life of me remember how to close the door, and a couple of other things. Can anybody remind me about this?Also, does anybody have a copy of one of the older versions of the manual? I will go about downloading the original FS2k version again, just to get the older manual, but if somebody has it, could they please email it to me at [email protected] , as it would be a lot quicker and easier.Can…

For whatever reason, I cannot figure out how the time of post is determined. Is there somewhere we were supposed to have chosen a time zone? It isn't military time and it doesn't figure to be GMT. I missed it somewherre!!!!!!!!Edd1

Got my copy of Briefing Time this morning, along with the multimedia CD, and I am speechless! The full version of BT is a masterpiece!The full 2D panel is amazing, and, when I first went to the VC, I thought I had pressed the wrong button - it is so much like the 2D panel that I had to check I was actually in the VC. The sound set is also superb.I haven't had a chance to look at the multimedia CD yet, but I'm sure it will be amazing.Keep up the good work, guys! All I will have to do now is visit MAAM, and see the real Briefing Time for myself!CheersMalcolm

Hello to the Group, I had to renew my AVSIM password so thought I'd leave a note on this forum. Although I post infrequently I do read the forums of interest regularly. Now back to my R4D and the B-25.Good Morning

Quick question...Is there ever going to be a scenery made for the MAAM museum?Thank you.

Those of you interested in the historical aspects of the B-25 will find Don Kaiser's site of great interest. It includes an extensive overview of the 489th Bomb Squadron in which both his father and "Briefing Time" flew.[http://sbl.salk.edu/~dkaiser/page.html]

Well I am anxiously awaiting my copy of Briefing Time. Meanwhile I messing with the trial version. What I want to do when I get the full version is remove the GPS. I just dont want to screw it up, I have a pretty good idea what to remove but can someone help me so that I dont screw it up?Thanks Andrew

Today I did a repaint for the beautiful B-25J Briefing TimeIt represents a B-25 from the 42nd BG 13th AF.The Noseart is fiction but i like the artwork so i've put it on the plane. The Tailart is from a real 42nd BG plane http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/3837.jpghttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/3838.jpg http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/3840.jpg http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/3841.jpg

Let's stop heaping praises on these guys and be realistic. BT falls short on at least six accounts : - No Smell ! I miss the mixed fragrance of a typical military WW2 cockpit : leaking oil with kerosene, cold Lucky Strike smoke (for you youngsters LS was a very popular brand of cigarettes way back when you weren't even born) and rancid vomit. BTW, no empty Lucky Strike packets on the floor...- What ? ! NO FLYING LEATHER JACKET coming with the CD !- Guns are fake, would you believe it ! no way of getting rid of these pesky Cessnas ! - No gilfriend piccies on panel ! Come on ! these brave young men were, hmmmm, young men... By the same token, No WAAC nowhere to be seen …

OK now she's in my own private hangar! Briefing Time I mean. Tell me about addiction, I don't even have a computer to fly her but one thing at a time :7. These nice 800 MHZ FSB, 3+ GHz P4 puters are just around the corner. On my lousy laptop I can at least learn the startup procedures and plan my future flights. But i don't see the nice cards that were stuck on the R4D-6 panel with with rpm and IAS and MP figures.hmmm,found that nice table though on page 159 of the PTM, sightly torn OK let's see : for a 360 nm flight, I need 400 gallons and to fly at 10 000 feet at max speed (230 mph) my RPM needs to be 2250 and my MP FT. FT ? now what does in the world mean FT ? and th…

I just re-installed Win XP Pro and Fs202 and of course BT. Sometime back I saw a post (not even sure it was in this forum) where someone listed a change to the [sOUND] section of the FS2002.cfg file to improve the sound quality. I can't find that post any longer and was hoping the author is in here and will repeat that tid bit. Thanks Mike B.

hello all, I just got the spare $$ to get BT and i will most likley order it in the next week or so. Anyway, I was wondering if the BT purchase is tax deductible in any way?

Thanks guys for a wonderful aircraft. I was debating weather to commit to the purchase but am so glad I did. Wonderful job - and money well spent!! - except, I couldn't wait for the CD version so went for the download version....Many thanks once again.Erich

Hi everyone!I downloaded the demo of this plane a bit ago, and it rocked. It was soooo FPS Friendly, like I didnt even notice it. But I was wondering if this is true for the full version? Like I couldnt handle the Flight1 Meridian because of stuttering so I was wondering if this wonderful plane has any problems that alot of people get (like the stuttering of the meridian) or is she solid and reliable just like the real thing =DJason WinnAMD Xp1900+Geforce 2 TI256 DDR 210080 Gig 7200 Maxtor 8MB BufferAtlanta ARTCC (ZTL)Student 1UPS905Second Officer.

Hi Folks,It's my pleasure to tell you i have finished the first of a batch of additional skins for our B-25 'Briefing Time' model.What better to start with then from scratch i.e. shiny bare-metal :-kewlAs a matter of fact the real BT started it's career in bare-metal finish. Here's a small prove :http://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/avsimpics/bt_bm/bt_b-m.jpgHere are a couple of screenshots of bare-metal BT to wet your appetite.Enjoy!http://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/avsimpics/bt_bm/bt_bm1.jpghttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/avsimpics/bt_bm/bt_bm3.jpghttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/avsimpics/bt_bm/bt_bme.jpghttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/avsimpics/bt_bm/bt_bm9.jpghttp:…

Hi Bill... Don't know when I have enjoyed a new plane as much as I have the B25J.....About the new skins.. Are they now available? and if so where can they be obtained?????? Holding my breath!!!!! :-jumpy :-jumpy :-walksmile

I haven't bought 'Briefing Time' yet, but I do intend to within the next couple of days (just paid my credit card off, and am waiting for the updated balance), but I have just installed the trial version, and would like to ask about some performance figures so I can start a round the UK flight before I get the full version.The figures I would like to know are:* Rough cruise speed and power settings at 6000ft and 10000ft* Maximum gear and flap operating speeds* Ideal approach and landing speedsIf these figures are somewhere in the manual, I apologise. I have had a quick look at it, but I haven't read it properly. Any help appreciated!

Nice job gentelmen, look forward to the next skin.Thanks, Stevehttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/3148.jpghttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/3150.jpg

I reformatted and i must have a patch or something missing with this most incredible Goony. I phoned right to the musium from Canada and ordered the C.D to contribute. It was fine but now. i can't get the door closed can't switch to the right seat to set my sq. code when online when the gear goes up i can't hear the 'Gear rising " voice and can't click on the place cards on the dash the see the v speeds but it flies good. I haven't used it in a while but really want it back cause she is some work of art this thing. can any body steer me to get this fixed right---thanks Louis

I'm taking Briefing Time on a trip from MAAM to Europe and Africa to places she used to be during WW2. The Website is still work in progress but I thought you'd want to take a look and maybe add your 2ct - any ideas welcomehttp://www.meatwater.com/briefingtime-------------------MeatWaterProfessional Audio 4 Entertainmentwww.meatwater.com

I thought you might like to see what the new OEP (Overhead Electrical Panel) for the all-new Gmax R4D looks like. I have just finished the graphics and uploaded the, for Fred to code.Here is a reduced-size shot of the entire panel...http://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/oep_small.gifThere are 117 separate bitmaps, or parts, in this panel.Now here's a full size chunk of the panel, so you can judge the readability of the radios and labels...http://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/oep_part.gifThis should do away with the complaints - justified, I might add - about the hard-to-read radios in the old R4D. The new OEP replicates the actual one in #50819 faithfully, except for one compr…

Don Smith volunteered to convert the BT docs into Adobe PDF format for us, and I have just uploaded the BT user's manual for anyone who wants a more printable version. http://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/BT_manual.pdfOne caution - the Table of Contents and other bookmarks from the html version in the PDF document do not take you to the right places. It's 113 pages and I recommend 150% magnification for reading it. I have not tried printing it, but if anyone has further recommendations about that, please post the information here.If you do not have the free PDF reader, get it from the Adobe website.Don has also converted the varoius documents from the Multi-Media CD, but …

Just got the latest issue of PC Pilot magazine through the mail this morning, and there is a review of Briefing Time in it (pg 20 if you have the magazine). The verdict is 5 STARS, and the one line comment is:'The R4D Team have excelled themselves. A stunning piece of work in every respect.'After reading this, I will DEFINATELY be buying Briefing Time, and helping to support MAAM.Good work, guys!CheersMalcolm

I recently purchased the B25 through the AVSIM store(the download version,sorry I couldn't wait for the CD version after trying out the trial version) and I also purchased a new computer the same week.I installed it on my old system and then tryed to transfer it to my new system when it arrived.No matter what I try I haven't been able to transfer it to my new computer.I can't even find the original exe file on my old system anymore. I have tryed to burn the original files to cd and transfer them,but I keep getting a message regarding write protected data. I saw another member of the forum had a problem with his system crashing so I tryed to contact Marty at the address yo…
