Where can I download this? I love Preddys' plane. 6 kills in under 6 minutes on 6th June 1944. Some record.

Excellent, thank you. ;)

I still want to see Heaters' Frankie. I am being patient, that 'boooo' was meant for the blackbaron....lol

Some say he wrote "Learning to Fly" after his first solo in his Mustang. Others say it's about him leading the band when Waters' quit... I know which story I like to believe, especially with the oopening line, "Into the distance a ribbon of black, stretched to the point of no turning back".

^^BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN YET^^

Can anyone skin this one? It was once owned by Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd, hence the name. Comfortably Numb: Seen here with Iron Ass

Boooooooooo!!! lol

Go to the loadout on the Mission editor or in the mission you've chosen and select the sceme from there.

With these two and more we could build a 55th FG. We all need to download all the skins and then when we fly we see the other sqdns etc and not just bare metal (default). Heater is it possible that we could have custom Mustang skins made? I have an idea for one that I'd like as my own mount.

:thumbup:

H E A T E R..........................!!!!!

I still don't see how this thing works, I bought a Microsoft HD3000 webcam and that works fine but when I turn on FaceTrackNoIr i don't see my face being tracked. I am trying to get this to work in IL2 first Is there an .ini file for P-51 too?

+1 Yeah, navigation would be a good one with a point to point mission.

Got registered now.... very strange, I must learn Italian...lol :|

Thank you fella, but it asks me to register and then it never completes registration..... weird.

I still can't download from here. :(

Frankie also has a little black line under the letter 'H'. She no longer carries the badge, which can be seen just forward of the cockpit now. And most skinners seem to forget that She carries 'Ferocious Frankie' Markings on both sides of nose. The green is also Olive drab, which is quite dark. The white invasion markings on her wings are also bordered by black lines on the outer edges.

Any update Heater?

I am really hating the AI, he flies like he has a jet engine. He pulls up and goes vertical when I struggle to maintain speeds above 175. He really needs sorting out because even though I have edited the 1v1 mission so that we start further apart but he still manages to wipe me out. I have put his fuel weight up etc and limited the height at which we start but.....!!!

It's fantastic Heater. Well done.

I personally don't think you have any right to say that! I do not fully agree with the Discovery Channel documentaries as they seem to miss the British side of things completely like the BoB, which certainly deserves a mention and the Hurricane and Spitfire etc but you do not have the authority to comment on what this man did or did not do. :smartass: With my last statement I am out of this topic cos I know where these threads lead to and I don't want any part of it.

During WWII, LT. Richard Candelaria was dogfighting in his P-51 Mustang with a skilled German pilot in am Me109. With the German flying circles around him and latched on his tail, Candelaria tries a risky maneuver, kicking his Mustang's tail around so the German would overshoot him. His plane does the equivalent of a short spin in the air and shoots down the German plane. Although he's not spinning in the air per-se, it still qualifies as an unconventional tactic. Eat your heart out, thrust vectoring. Of course, making flying machines spin in strange maneuvers has been around since WWI, with the little Fokker Triplanes being extremely agile for their time. In the Dogfights documentary series, one WWII pilot had the trick of simultaneously pitching down and yawing, turning his whole plane into one huge, unstable, airbrake. In the same series, one US pilot in Vietnam had perfected an exploitation of the Phantom jet's flat spin failure mode, putting his plane into a flat spin for a few seconds at a time to WTF his enemies and forcing overshoots by losing airspeed, then quickly recovering to normal flight on their tails. The P-51's maneuver is actually a tactic you're taught in flight school called a slip. It's used in civilian aviation to either drop altitude quickly (like maybe you're too high above a runway to land) and quickly recover, or keep your plane traveling straight in a crosswind. Yes, it also acts as an airbrake and you can recover from it really, really easily (you enter it by yawing one direction and rolling slightly the opposite; you exit by releasing the controls). Pilots during WWI would use slips to strafe targets air and ground, in addition to the aforementioned "let the Messerschmitt pass right by" use during WWII. Article taken from http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MultiTrackDrifting Your choice whether you believe it, but I certainly wouldn't dismiss it considering the aircrafts strange handling characteristics!!!

Still can't download this. When I go to your website it asks me to register but I can't. :'(
