The sim version does feel underpowered to me as well...

Post a track or video please

Thanks Blaze.

OR can someone post a link to where I can find one modded by another user....

I have HDR set to warm and I see black engine exhaust...

No, I wish though.

Very good point danilop

I work with one of the test pilots for the Echo model. This thing is a beast :D

P-51D vs Mig-21 Guns only, who wins? ;)

I am thinking something on the engine failed besides the temps, this caused the engine to shut down and without the engine running the external tanks did not show any fuel pressure... I will fly this mission again and check the external tank fuel pressure on the ground.

Can we PLEASE get a visual example when selecting the paint scheme??? I hate having to load a mission just to see the skin I choose, and then finding out it was the wrong one...

Good explanation Zaltysz, Thank you.

I did at least 5 landings (One at each runway) and none of them were hard. Part of the fun in flying this long duration flight was managing the engine temps throughout the flight. I was watching and managing the temps a never had it in the red. Max altitude was approx 5,000' for the flight. Never flew inverted.

Yes, the fuel pump was on. 100% guarantee. Yes, neither external tanks showed fuel pressure. When the wing tanks were selected the fuel pressure came back.

I am noticing if I leave the coolant and oil radiator's in the auto position while flying level with 46"mp and 2700 rpm that my temps still get into the red... I want to say the auto radiator settings are not keeping the temps down where I expect them. I would assume a good airspeed is also required to maintain good temps but I also would expect the radiator doors to open more as the temps get into the red. I have no problems when I have them set open in manual but I always see the temps climb while I am in the auto setting...

Tonight I wanted to do a long endurance flight with the P-51D. I used the mission editor to make a flight plan that would allow me to takeoff from Anapa and fly to the other 21 airports and do a touch and go at each airport ending up back at Anapa... This has a route distance of approx 1,016.5 nm and a range of 395 nm. My configuration was 100% fuel with 2x drop tanks and no weapons. (99% max takeoff weight) After takeoff I switched the fuel selector to the rear fuel tank and was able to fly for approx 1 hour and 15 mins before I lost fuel pressure and had to switch tanks. I then switched to my left wing fuel tank and got fuel pressure back. I then switched my fuel selector to the top left position which reads "RH combat drop tank" and continued flying. A few seconds later my engine died in flight. I had no fuel pressure on either left or right drop tanks. Can anyone tell me why this happened? Why did the drop tanks not have any fuel? PS, This is a hell of a route to fly without an autopilot :D

Ali, Can you please bring this weathered cockpit mod back and make it work in v1.2.7?

Everybody is worried about trying to figure out what happened, I'm just sitting here wanting to fly a Mig-21....

Wow....

Yes read the last two pages.

When the cockpit lights are on and set to white, They are displayed as an orange light from the exterior view... When the cockpit light is off, the exterior view looks normal.

Ace Combat is in the electronic department....

Does the documentation get updated with 1.2.7? Or are the older documents still valid?

I am seeing a HUGE performance increase on my system which was already very smooth. Very nice!
