Warbirdsim P-51 Update

Nice one, Bruce!
The top of the nose distorts a bit, I noticed that on Ole II as well. You can see the mission markings getting smaller towards the front..

Meanwhile, for the Australia lovers among us:

I'm not 100% sure about the color of the rudder (supposed to be medium blue), so I'm open to suggestions..
 
I'm sorry about the distortion problem - I've had to combat it as well myself when doing repaints, but I think it is the least problematic I could make it. I know first hand in creating "Happy Jack's Go Buggy" for the Warbirdsim P-51D, that with a long line of bombs/kill marks along the upper cowl line, it works well to start with a marking that is stretched vertically, about 4 pixels higher than the ones you have for the most part. Then, through the first 6-8 or so kill markings, create a downward arc, with markings that are 3 pixels higher, 2 pixels higher, 1 pixel higher, until you get to the original size.

Jan Kees, in an up-coming Warbirdsim release, which will be featuring new variants of the B/C's, I made an Aussie scheme from the same squadron, and they look very much alike. I think the blue is just a bit too saturated at the moment.

Stephan and Bruce, I love the repaints! The crisp nose art looks particularly nice!
 
the 9 in the serial you mean?
Numbers were often reserved for hack or clobber college aircraft.
It was only the 31st and 52nd FG I believe that used them on combat aircraft, but I could be mistaken there


very nice shots btw!


meanwhile, I found a picture of a RAAF wingpatch in Medium Blue, and that looked like this:

Correct In a way, The actual aircrafts serial was 43-6528 but on transfer to 343rd FS/ 55th FG, the OD paint was removed and replaced with this BNM/Yellow/Green scheme the painter put the wrong serial code on 43-6529.

FAVORITE SKINS

For me my favorite is "Petie 2nd" as my nickname is Pete, most of my old girlfriends called me Petie...yes you can surmise that I didn't get any action through all of my teen years. I did however through just pure frustration manage to keep a very high GPA.... Any way long story short my favorite is "Petie 2nd" something about a blue nosed P51...

I'm seeing a lot of new WBS P-51 skins the last few days.

Are there any plans to post them to the Add-Ons Library for the rest of us?? :salute:

Keep up the good work, but don't forget your fans... :jump:

Dang, I'm busted...Thanks Bruce...:) I was hoping to sneak that request past everyone....Yeah It (Petie 2nd) was a -D- model,,,has anyone converted it over to FSX...or has anyone done it for the Flight1 P-51D which I think is actually the Aeroplane heaven version??? In either case, all of you pixel pushers as Jankees likes to call himself, do such amazing skins...I find myself simming on autopilot just so I can enjoy the outside views... Keep em coming I can't get enough...
