Warbirdsim's "Mustang Tales" Now Available!

Here are some more screens I took last night, of a little SAAF action. No.2 Squadron's motto was "Su Suh Phors'sque", which is Afrikaans for "Upwards and Onwards".

I'm glad you tried that out, Steve! I was just thinking a couple of days ago that since I still have all of the paint layers for that one, that I should redo it with the new paintkit and re-release it with instructions for getting it setup with the most correct model/textures in "Mustang Tales".

Also, after a little trouble I've gotten a response sent to your PM. Hopefully you should be receiving an e-mail soon, today.

Well, that would be great if you wanted to tweek the FF-902 textures, although it looks really good as it is. However, if you wanted to do a few with some of the other aircraft numbers, I would use them.
I hope that other thing wasn't too much trouble. Posting here has gotten a little more troublesome since the 'enter' key for new paragraps and spaces doesn't work anymore.

Bone....I've converted 902 over to use the 110 gallon fuel tank model. Does this interest you? I fixed the textures to include the alpha and markings need for the fuel tank.

Yeah, Skyhawk, that's great. Thanks for thinking of me. ;)
 
Ok...let me find out if John will mind if I package up the textures, each one is a little different so it will be a two plane package if he's ok with it.
 
John, thanks for the hard work to get it applied onto those models! If it is all right with you, however, I'd just assume finishing the work I've done thus-far to update that scheme with the new paintkit (more detail, and accuracy) and I'll be sure to include a couple of different installation possibilities depending on what load-out you want. (With the screens you posted, in the first one there is a problem with the prop textures (using the square tip prop textures rather than the cuffed) and a problem with the drop tank textures (its using the 110 gallon drop tank textures on the 165 gallon tanks), and in the second one the 75-gallon tanks are missing the placards on the tanks).

I'll shoot for Monday or Tuesday to upload all of the repaints I will have completed by then (should be six in all).

Although it won't be done before then, I do want to do FF-822, as you have posted the image of above, John. That aircraft served within the same Squadron as FF-197 (included in Mustang Tales), with the same tri-colors but in a different scheme, both operating in Iceland.
 
Zsolt, the Indonesian Mustang looks excellent! I can cross that one off my list. ; )

I have a profile of that aircraft (and a few photos) that shows the glare shield and background of the face on the nose as being black, rather than blue (same with the checkers on the rudder).
 
With the correct to the RNZAF-use P-51D-30-NT included, I've been planning to do a few more RNZAF schemes in addition to the one that is included. Here's the first additional example, which served with No.1 (Auckland) Squadron. The aircraft is depicted as it was in the early-mid 50's (where as the example included in "Mustang Tales" is a No.1 Squadron example from 1945). Still a bit of WIP with a few items to refine, but I had some fun flying it around New Zealand this evening, testing it out. Note that the P-51D-30-NT's had a late-Dallas canopy, which was a bit different to those that had come earlier (with a more pronounced aft profile).

This one took quite a bit longer to get this far than I had originally thought when I started it, as it required a number of attempts to get the silver-painted finish looking the way I wanted in the sim, and then the bare metal stainless around the exhaust as well (which I'm not sure yet if I'm completely satisfied with it).

Edit: I found another photo of this aircraft which clearly shows the wing roundels and fuselage fuel cap stencils as being different to the way I have them, so I will be going back and correcting those before the repaint is released. The photo clearly shows that the wing roundels weren't the larger 48" type as a couple of decal sheets noted and as I have depicted, and were instead the same 36" size as the fuselage.















 
As usual, awesome work B12! I'd love to add this collection to my warbirdsim stangs....but I just can't afford $45 USD right now. Hopefully someday soon I'll be flying that Navy bird with the tail hook!!:jump:

Superb lighting in these screen shots.
 
John, the RNZAF Mustang looks superb, the Dallas canopy looks spot on!
It is believed that NZ2413 was the only one with cuffed props, all the other RNZAF Mustangs had the uncuffed props.
