The folks at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum have released v7.0 of their already excellent B-25 for both FS9 and FSX. Perhaps most significantly, there's now a clickable virtual cockpit. New features as quoted on the MAAM site:

... but it looks to me as if there are two separate products, one each for FS9 and FSX. And at $30 each with no upgrade option, that's too much for me as I already have version 6,

Thanks for reminding us about this model Mark. I have a large format book called 'Warpath across the Pacific' by Lawrence J Hickley which covers the 345th BG and its B-25s ( they are the ones with the well known eagle and bat head's paint jobs covering the solid nose, with the Indian chief's head on the tail fin ). I think if I read it again, it will definitely motivate me to get the MAAM Mitchell. Thanks again.

Rohan - You are correct. My apologies, as I originally interpreted MAAM's announcement to indicate FS9 & FSX packages would be bundled in one package. They are not.

Paul - You're welcome. You won't be disappointed. I had the previous version installed for years but rarely used it. After purchasing this update, I think that'll change. It adds some much-needed functionality to what's still an excellent model, even by contemporary standards. As a bonus, all proceeds from MAAM products go towards keeping their stable of classic aircraft airworthy.

Indeed Mark; all in a good cause. I bought the MAAM C-47 for FS9, which was excellent too, and helped their example keep flying. :)
