A fix has been posted on flightsim.to to rectify the prop problems of this otherwise brilliant model!


Screenshots will follow later!

What's the difference between this mod and the last P51 mod issued?

Thanks, LouP
 
Nope I've tried it now and it doesn't seem to work. There are no specific install instructions - I just plonked it in my aircraft MoDs file in linker
 
He's trying really hard to get it to work (has a discord page), having issues with Asobo filing roadblocks & lockouts it seems but they are on the case! Really loving his work, the P-51D is awesome now & will only get better, I removed AH Mustang the other night as after their last update it has become a train wreck. There's also a mod for the T-6 being worked on with opening cockpits, a spinner etc.
 
@RandallSnow do you have an update on your progress on this model?

Cheers,

Bit late to party on this one...

I never got notification of the tag, either!

Just yesterday, while conversing with a Discord member, it occurred to me to experiment with something and the results are quite nice. We've come up with a way to work around MS/Asobo encryption of the 3D model and xml behaviors. A future update to this mod will make it a standalone aircraft that only requires the user to already own the P-51A. This means we can write a new flight model, engine, systems, etc, all while remaining compatible with existing liveries (small change needed to livery aircraft.cfg since the SimObject will be uniquely named).

I've already started writing a new FM, and it's quite a lively airplane despite some of the model shortcomings. This lays the groundwork for some really fun stuff.

Can I get the birdcage to open? I guess we'll find out eventually.
