Got to agree with that part of your statement. I played this map back in the days of Flanker 2.0 and it was great for the first few hours but..... it gets old real quick. I like a little more variety in maps and new places to visit/plan missions for like in the user made maps of IL2 etc. Please, please, please ED, give us a Channel map with parts of Europe other than the Balkans or whatever. Cheers.

Need TrackIR myself too..... Very expensive though. :(

Ok, thanks, I was looking for the line in the code but now I see that you have to add the line. Makes sense now. I am an old boy you know...lol

Yep, tried that..... No joy, still get normal helmet. :(

Sorry can't find this file..... :<(

PM'd you. ;)

Can anyone do this skin?

You can't make hard turns etc with the Mustang without a little bit of flap. Try dropping the flaps a few degrees. Making turns quickly at speed can unsettle the Stang too. Be gentile and learn her limits. ;)

Aim is very good and I am getting solid hits on it, even though I don't have any sort of head tracker and have to zoom in and out manually. I see strikes on it as flashes and usually the plane starts to leak fuel from the wings. You have to get up VERY close and pummel it before it breaks up. Still as I said before, very unrealistic considering the damage you can see bing done in the gun cam clips from ww2...!!! ;)

And when you try to turn with him all you get are high speed stalls unless you drop the flaps a little bit, which kills your speed. That other Mustang is Supermans' plane. Not realistic at all. :( I just set up a mission with four mustangs flying around my base with no ammo, I go up, shoot them down, no problems. Except you need to have unlimited ammo due to the very weak API rounds......

If only......that would be awesome but sadly I think we're stuck with the same map that they used for Flanker/A10 etc, etc........ Bit boring but I enjoy flying the Stang.

+1 too

don't need to find documents, it's a well chronicled fact in Videos and military books about the P-51, where it is compared to radial engined planes such as the P47. A .50 round in the engine WILL bring a mustang down, maybe not destroy it but it will stop running very quickly. This is why the 8th USAAF were very loathed to strafe airfields with P51's until very near to the end of the war. Have you ever seen the damage that a .50 cal does to a large engine block? I have!

The .50 Cals need to do a lot more damage than is modelled in this Simulator. Getting hit in an aircraft of that era by .50 cal would be like someone hitting the plane as hard as they could with a massive sledge hammer so several hits would knock his plane out of control for a short time period or at least he would become slightly unstable. ED: SORT THE DAMAGE OUT. ;)

Thank you. ;)

Can't download again from that Italian forum....poopie!! :'(

Make sure the trim, throttle and prop settings are correct. If you're pushing everything forward you won't get as much as you think. Try throttling back to 45" mp and prop set to just over half way forward.

More Blue Nosers...!!! Cool stuff, when can I get some more Yellow Jackets and a finished Ferocious Frankie?

I personally think they need to up the damage that the .50's do. A few good strikes on an aircraft and all I get is a plume of white smoke from their wing...... The .50 would shred them at close range. Please ED sort the damage out and while you're at it, make the enemy P-51 fly more like a mustang and less like a UFO..... I cannot climb like that or retain energy like the AI does, it's terrible. Oh and he never makes mistakes.

Does that mean that us loyal fans who opted to pre-purchase don't get the 45 minute video?

I did think that it needed an old style flying helmet at first but after about 40 hours flying time I have forgotten all about that. There's enough stuff in that cockpit to keep you busy without thinking about what's on your head.

When will the final release hit us?

Jim Mack, I can confirm that the whistle can be heard inside the aircraft. I know the Mechanic who works on Ferocious Frankie and when he goes up in the Dickie seat for trial flights he has told me it can be heard. This is what he told me: Hi Tim I will end ever to answer your questions. Yes you can hear the whistle inside but it only works when pulling positive G , Pilots always ware a Shute 10 fighter of flap is always used on take off but on a short runway is normal JK

Yeah probably best idea to just delete all and try to start again. Thank you.

It doesn't seem to matter what I delete, it still sees the assignments as roll or pitch...very frustrating this simulator.
