I am a newbie on CFS3 and I just upgraded to a Gforce FX 5500 PCI graphics card everythings seams to work fine ( just down loaded the latest drivers) except I can not go into the bombadier station with F7,( or any other Key). I do not know if these bombers did not have a bombadier or if somthing else is wrong. I can go to the bombadier with B26 and with the Ju88 and even with the B25C but not with the B25 H or J. What is wrong? ???

On the -H, the bombardier would have had a tight fit with a 75mm gun occupying the tunnel he'd need to get into the nose, ..... I'll have to reload CFS3 to check the J...
Bascially, some B25 variants had solid noses. In the -H, it had a 75mm gun, and others had regular machine guns.
There were so many variations, though that some heavily armed B-25s for low level raiding simply had their glass noses painted over...

CFS3 default B-25J is a gun nose.
The B-25J was initially released as a glass nose bomber version. The transparent nose with its bombardier could be replaced at the factory by a solid nose that was equipped with eight 0.50-inch machine guns.
With this modification, the aircraft was designated as B-25J-11, -17, -22, -27, -32, or -37, depending on which production block the modification took place.
With its maximum armament of eighteen guns, the solid-nosed B-25J was the most heavily-armed attack aircraft in the Allied arsenal.
Since the B-25J is a gun nose with .50's filling what would be the bombardiers compartment. The pilot had fighter plane type sights.
As Felix said the B-25H was the 75mm ship buster & the cannon sat in the tunnel that the bombardier would have used to go into the nose compartment.
