P-51D Mustang ‘Cadillac of the Skies’ for FSX Part 1 Restored - OUT NOW!

[tommieboy]

Kevin, an H-model definitely would be a whole new model from scratch, and we won't be going in that direction....

DOH!
I was going to hold out for the H model myself.

Everything fine now - got my download-link. My first impression is - wow, fantastic plane. Gentleman, Hats off!

 

[Barfly]

Is there a good virtual group that flies WW2 era birds?

 

[swimeye]

Yes, everything ran very smoothly, the order was processed very fast and a download link was sent to me, download was fast and installation was flawless. First flight was amazing, excellent. I think the whistling noise is a very cool feature, especially when you buzz the tower in tower view.
Superb job, i am a happy returning customer.

 

[Stickshaker]

Fantastic plane, John and team! Glad I bought yet another Mustang because this one is really outstanding!

 

[dougal]

How does this compare to the A2A?

Any point in having both APART from the restored aspect?

Thanks

Tuskegee p51d

Rulings on the Internet are talking about
New film about the Tuskegee airman called "redtails" directed
By George Lucas . Would it be possible at
Some future date for a repaints for this new and excellent
Warbirdsim p51d in the Tuskegee colours, maybe jankees, he
Did and excellent repaint for me for the flight leader
P51 b by warbirdsim maybe he might be kind enough
To do another one ?

 

[Quicksand]

Got mine today.... OUTSTANDING PRODUCT!!!!! Congrats Warbirdsim on this release... Absolutely eye-popping detail in the model! Thank you!!!!:salute::ernae:

 

[ColoKent]

Is a paintkit available?

....Also, any thought to adding another helmet (early jet P4B comes to mind) option for those of us who want to do the early/mid-50's ANG thing?

As far as a paintkit, the trouble is that each variant is uniquely modeled separately, to match an actual, specific, P-51 Mustang. This is of course a concept that has never been done before, but as a result, you are provided a new experience with each variant, both inside and out. Each interior and exterior, uniquely matches only that specific aircraft it is made for.

Dougal, if it is any help, please read my posts throughout this thread, my individual threads about the Upupa Epops and NACA variants, and read through the information provided on the Warbirdsim site. There was certainly hundreds of reasons, or more, that this product needed to be made - none of which are in respect to these being restored types.

Bomber, it may not be for you to say, but do you think there will be a sale any time in the coming holidays? I really want this plane, but I don't know that I can spend that much. Will a discount be offered for people who have already bought the B & C varients?

Yes I am also interested to know what the next models are for the P-51D. I'm not sure whether I should get this one or wait for a RNZAF P-51D (if there is one..but I guess somebody could do a repaint)..which presumably will be in a more orginal configuration and not a restored warbird...I'm leaning towards a restored example though as that is how I like to fly my Warbirds in FSX.

Naki, you must be a mind-reader! In a perfect world, with no need for sleep, I'd say all four!

That narrows it down considerably!...I'm really hoping that its a later model P-40........but I would be happy with any those I mentioned.

 

[ColoKent]

I recognize...

....that if someone is a psycho freak for ABSOLUTE realism, they would roll up in a ball knowing that a repaint of these models are not "strictly accurate".

Bottom line-- I'm not one of those people....so repainting schemes I like trump having 100% "accuracy".

Now that I think about it, I seem to remember the -B and -C models you produced do not have paints kits either...

I ordered mine hours ago and still haven't received an e-mail. It is not in my spam folder.
How long has been the typical wait time?

Kevin, an H-model definitely would be a whole new model from scratch, and we won't be going in that direction. In regard to this, we had originally planned to use the P-51B as a base for the D-model, but it became a whole new build, and it ended up being that there was nothing carried over from the B-model product at all.

There will still be plenty of attention being focused on the P-51D, for a while, though a complete set of engineering drawings for an entirely new aircraft, from an entirely different manufacturer, to begin next year, will be in the mail soon.

Hmm.....as I do more thinking....I'm wondering if it might be a Spitfire? Maybe the variant Mr. Beasley flies?? Now that would be very nice!

Hi John,

Great work there! :salute:

Just to clarify things: Can the wing and fuselage tanks be activated so that someone is able to recreate a war ready aircraft? Or will war ready aircraft come in part 2? Also, is the supercharger gear change switch functional?

 

[Bomber_12th]

Craig,

Yes, the drop tanks and fuselage tank can be activated. If you look at the fuel section within the Aircraft.cfg file, 75 and 108 gallon external tank entries are already provided, as is the 85 gallon fuselage fuel tank. All you must do, to activate the set of tanks you want, is to delete the // marks in front of the individual fuel tank entries. Of course only one set of external tanks should be activated at any one given time.

The supercharger switch is not animated (as is, it is left in the automatic position), though the supercharger light will come on at between 19,000 and 20,000 feet, indicating the automatic shift.

This is of course a concept that has never been done before, but as a result, you are provided a new experience with each variant, both inside and out. Each interior and exterior, uniquely matches only that specific aircraft it is made for.

But I wouldn't want a paintkit for each model..one would be enough.
If I'm not mistaken, Upopa Epops most closely resembles a stock WWII P-51D(-20-NA), so that would be my preference, paintkit-wise..
On the other hand, if you prefer it that the models are not repainted, then that is fine by me too!
