New FSX P-51D Mustang not far away

Ya gotta remember, Ryan, that the pilots of old wore either a canvas or leather flying helmet that looked much smaller than the modern ones...:mixedsmi:
 
that radiator scoop on the bottom looks kinda huge, regardless ill be looking for this release, any idea if there will be any sort of engine damage modeling? Pinning the throttle forward with no worries kind of bored me nowadays.
 
Don't see what this has to offer that the A2A model doesn't. Exterior model looks decidedly inferior, the windscreen is wrong for one thing (almost no taper).
 
It looks like a P-51 Mustang to me!

"The nose is wonky, the windscreen is the wrong angle, the pilots too big, the radiators the wrong size"..glad I'm not a developer. Isnt best to wait until the things out to make a final judgement?

Did you guys not see the overlay of the wireframe over a picture the real one..plus the comment by Jankees and subsequent correction of the nose area in the link I posted above...it looks pretty good to my eyes...and no I have nothing to do with Aeroplane Heaven or Flight 1.
 
Not another one!

i will stick with the A2A as it rings all the right bells with me.

all the 100s of unmodelled aircraft and they make another P51D!

come on guys use some imagination and pick something we need:kilroy:

Rick

You did a great job on that Hellcat. I own it now, but honestly I am Mustanged out unless it comes with Accusim. The only other Cub I wanna see is a Super Cub. It is time for some new stuff to be developed guys. Some time back we did a list of planes we want to see in FSX. I am hoping somebody is listening. You guys do really good work and we have a host of other great developers...please check that list! Maybe we should start a new one.

Personally, I would love a Marauder, and a really good Harvard, and a good Storch, for starters...

I thought it looked way way better than my A2A, hands down. Bump mapping is sweet.

To me the exterior is only about 30% of the model and I don't get too excited about pictures anymore. Engine and system modeling, sound, and flight modeling are what sell a plane to me.

I will never be the one worrying much over pilot size, markings, or windscreen angle. :ernae:

I agree with that as well Ted :ernae:
 
Don't want this to get off topic. The Mustang is really nice, just expressing some frustration with the same aircraft over and over. This one does look like a keeper
