I say it again: I agree with your request as long as it’s implemented as an option. And you see the reason: we disagree on the throttles position.

By the way: throttle “in centre”, means “right hand side” on B25, because pilot in command is on the left, and “left hand side” on the Betty, because pilot in command is on the right.

I said “usually” but, to be a little more detailed, we can say: all multi-engine type with side-by side seating and pilot in command on the left have throttles on the right, and the same is true for many single pilot heavies, such as Lancaster, Halifax and Stirling. I would dare to say that the right-hand types are the majority, and is not a case that throttle(s) on the right is today standard, even on single engine types.

To sum it up: the possibility to reverse throttle for people who like it is nice, but people with different tastes should have the option to stay with throttle on the right.
