    Hey, how do you shoot on the Mitchell?
    They have guns, don't they?

    Thank you very much for the update on the B-25. I love to fly your airplane and I am eagerly awaiting any update you give to us.

    It does, I will look in into it if I will add them on this update. I try not to take too long for the fix as I wanted to just do a hot fix for the moment.

    Last update before I will release it in the coming weeks.
    Currently I am creating new configuration for the liveries and removing the realistic and arcade config. I fixed the brake code and redid the propeller jbeam and Lua code. For the rework the jbeam is provisioned for propeller feathering and propeller speed control.
    Converting all textures to PBR is quite the work.
    As I am in the flow I want to improve the control for keyboard players, even though I can’t stress enough, that everything other than keyboard is recommended. Still want to wait and test everything and maybe add the guns, but keyboard control code and stability is more important.

    Holy crap.
    Thanks.
    Can't wait to use it.
    One more question though, why remove the arcade and realistic config?
    Will they be merged or something?
    Also, as a keyboard user, the controls are ok.
    For me, they are nice and easy to use, and controlling the plane with the mouse feels good.
    But if you can (somehow) make them better, cool.

    Thank you for your opinion about the keyboard control, will put the change on hold to release it earlier. It was planned to implement something similar to the An-12 mod.
    For the questions on hand, the realistic and arcade controls are not necessary anymore as the flight model has improved significantly. Everybody should fly it without problems, it will be still in the parts selection, just not as a configuration.

    What is the difference between Arcade and Realistic configs?

    I know, it is a known problem with the lua code that I already fixed on my end. Close uploading the fix, will take some time. Be patient.

    Not to confuse anyone I updated the overview page of the mod already to represent the changes that were made for the next version. The update is currently uploaded and in progress of getting accepted. I sadly messed up the file structure when uploading the first time. So I don’t think it will be approved before next week. I also linked a donation button on the overview page if anyone wants to donate. I thank everyone that does it, but please don’t be pressured, it is and will always be a free mod.

    My plan to rework the 3d Model and Materials are still in development but I wanted to at least have a working mod in the repository in the meantime. Have fun and please report back any bugs or feedback that can improve the plane.
    Adding guns and better bombs are something I want to add in the future, but it is not something simple and fast to implement.

    Happy flying and good landings.

    PS. if our skilled enough, it is possible to takeoff and land on every airport and small strip in the Beamng Universe

    Hell yeah.
    One question, will it be possible to add the B24 as a config, since they are pretty similar, the difference being the propellers, and them being bigger and having A LOT of bombs?
    It's stupid, but would be nice to see in the future nontheless.
    just a suggestion

    Well it is a completely different airplane and I don’t have any mesh for it to add it as a configuration. I will concentrate on remodeling the B25. With my current peace it will take another one to two years before I can upload a true remaster version of the B25.

    As long the plane still explodes upon crashing (to make it more realistic), I'm fine with any updates...

    I honestly don't care how much time you will take to make a true remaster, just the thought of it coming true someday is already nice.
    So please don't rush or anything, we all (hopefully) have patience.
