Hello SpaceWeevil, I am extremely busy at work these days and rarely home. But if I find some free time, I think I will certainely do something with the WBS P-51D as I did with the B/C version :)
 
Got the manual link tonight; install works perfect. No time for a first flight but the exterior model is quite impressive. I am sure it will even look better with jankees repaints.

In my best Rodney Dangerfield impersonation, "I tell ya I don't get no respect!" :d
Just kidding of course!!

Andy, for loops, I usually want at least 42-in MP, 2500 RPM pulling me along, or 46-in MP, 2700 RPM tops (max continuous). I find it quite straight forward to perform a loop, even when starting at as low as 280-mph, it is just a matter of energy-control. By the time you are over the top of the loop, you'll be going 120-130 mph if handled properly (you really don't want to go slower than this). Many Mustang display pilots will tell you to not even enter a loop until you have 350-mph established, which requires a bit of a down-hill ride, with these power settings, to get to that speed. Entering into a display over an airfield, you always want to start out high, entering in with plenty of energy, which you'll want to maintain throughout the display.

It is rather a slick deal to have a Nav radio and CDI built into the aircraft, allowing for IFR flight (the vast majority of Mustangs today do - it would be rather stupid not to).
 
Blocked Email

After completing a registration to Warbirdsim, the ending message indicated the registration was successful and that an email would be sent so that the registration could be completed. I never received an email. Checked the spam emails too.

Looking through the messages on this thread a suggestion was given to request my ISP to unblock your messages for the sites info@warbirdsim.com and support@warbirdssim.com.
A call to my ISP(AT&T - Bellsouth.net) indicated my request cannot be honored as an individual but relies on Warbirdsim's request on my behalf to unblock the site.

Seems this is getting to be too difficult. This has become more than I wish to deal with.
I don't know how you can overcome this with an automated system if all the numerous ISP's choose to Block emails without the sender knowing why and how an email is being blocked.

Obviously I cannot risk a purchase now even if I was registered, which I am not. Good luck in finding a solution. You are losing potential customers for what appears to be a fine product. An alternate supplier perhaps?

Thanks, was able to put together a series of loops, immelmans etc just now - it's tricky managing the AOA and keeping away from the stall, but that makes it interesting to fly. Even managed to spin it and recover.

Looking forward to the other releases.

Jankees has made a lot of fantastic repaints of the B/C versions. And I think he's working on the D version as well. I especially like his "used and dirty" repaints.

Of course the original airplane looks fantastic as well :)
with all my due respect )
 
It's About Time!

I saw this Cavalier Mustang II at Duxford in 2009 and thought it was different and pretty cool. But there's not been a suitable model to paint it till now. Not entirely accurate obviously (get the 'Buntline Special' inboard Browning!!) but I think it looks OK. Sadly the pilot Bertil Gerhardt was killed in Spitfire landing crash in Norway in August. This is by way of a small tribute to an outstanding Mustang display pilot.

The aircraft has been owned by the Swedish company Biltema since 2006 and was one of 9 Cavalier Mustang II's delivered to El Salvador in 1967, where it flew as FAS-405. It remains the only Mustang II still flying as built.

I heard that the Early birds foundation had their first engine trials on 'Trusty Rusty', so with a bit of luck, we'll soon have two Mustangs gracing the Dutch skies!

Here a few wip shots:

Went ahead and bought this gorgeous addon yesterday! At about 30€'s, it's a steal!

What I like especially is the incredible amount of detail combined with how framerate friendly it is!!

A BIG thumbs up to the warbirdsim team for this addon!!

Going to fly it some more now! :jump:
 
'a boomerang always returns' was what Lt Richard Thieme thought, and that's what he called his Mustang, while flying with the 505th FS/339th FG:

After striking out attempting to get the "Cadillac" because of emails not being received from Wardsim.com an effort to locate another site more amiable has not borne good fruit. However at a serundipitios time a review of the p-51 Warbird Sim Fighter Leader X was posted at flightsim.com also indicating the availability at their Pilotshop. Since I already had my problems, now fixed, with unreceived eamails from flightsim, I ordered and received this P-51 package with ease because once the purchase was conplete a download option was shown on the purchase page and no email link needed to be sent. Hopefully Warbirdsim will consider letting flightsim.com distribute the "Cadillac" too in the near future.
 
One more shot of the 'final' version of Trusty Rusty.
The real final version will come after WBS release a paintkit.

oh, and something to keep the kiwi's happy:

I will post screenshots tomorrow to bump that post who was "unstickied" too quickly IMHO.
