I just downloaded Shiger's Mustang Aces pack and can't get the drop tanks to release. In his readme it says to use the / key to release and reattach the tanks but I check the control assignments and assigned the / key to release all drop tanks but they won't release. I then tried my CH Throttle quad which has the 1 and 2 key assigned to releaseing 1 and 2 tanks but still won't work. Any ideas on how to get the drop tanks to release , and reattach?
 
The / key is the spoiler key by default. He may have tied the drop tanks to the spoiler key so by changing the assignment it will not work. Change it back to spoiler and see if it removes the tanks.

FYI those drop tanks are empty. He never put fuel in them in the Fuel section of the config file.
 
got em to drop

Well for some reason the / key still doesn't work ,I deleted the key assigment (/) I had for droptanks and made sure the default key again(/) was there but they still won't drop, so I hooked up my CH Throttle Quad and the button I have assigned to spoilers/airbrakes worked every time. Go figure. Thanks for your input , without you telling me about the spoiler key , I'd never had got it working.
 
Oh ya forgot

I got the Mustang from SOH also, don't know if that the Warwick Carter Mustang or not ,but that makes 4 and thats enough Stangs for me. Thanks for telling me about it though.
 
One last time

Forgot on last thing ,for some reason the pics of the girls when you retract the gear dissapeared , they were there the first time I flew it but are gone now. Dang they were hotties too, oh well this I can live without.
 
This is what happend when you get old

OK I lied the pics, are there in VC ,I didn't go out far enough on the VC panel to see them, This is my last post on this I think.
 
Gotta chime in here ... If you want a high-quality P-51D and freeware for FS2004, forget about the version you have mentioned, no dis-respect to the Japanese developer, Warwick Carter's is the best ... get it at Flightsim ...

Mike :salute:
 
And the textures that Garry Smith did for version one work on version two with just a little work. V2 has more textures, so ither paste a V2 livery into a V1 package without overwriting, or paste a V1 texture pack into a V2 pack with overwriting.
 
thanks but I'am pleased with the way things are

I'am pleased with the way things are ,I downloaded the Warwick Carter Mustangs too but didn't even try the update. I want to keep things simple as I can, and am not even a big Mustang fan (hence my name). all the Mustangs I have are just fine the way they are, really liked the Shiger Stangs better than the Warwick one's ,but I'll keep them all.
I always liked the Malcom Hood Stang and I got them from SOH.
So anyway I do thank you so much for the info( or as the Brits say ,the gen) but I'am keeping things the way they are.

you're learning, can also be used in cases such as " i'm gen-ing up on the Hurricane" meaning studying it, or in general "gen-ing up" just for reading/study :icon_lol:

the wozza-stang is great fun, and i never knew about the Shiger Tanaka ones so i'll have to go look at them, this is why i love this community... we are always a team, one person mentions it and seventy others go take a look, them 70 will find something new and another 70 will go to download and find something... how do we manage to get flight time in sim again? :icon_lol:
 
thats exactly what i think Tom, only time i manage to get in sim is to test a repaint then it's just take-off get to about 5000' AGL pause, pan camera, take shots and close...
