Mike Busutil Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Will we ever see the P-51B or C version in DCS? I would think the existing DCS P-51D version could be used as a easy baseline for these versions.

chris455 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I will gladly pay full boat for any WWII US aircraft. (And many European as well!) :thumbup: I almost find myself wishing for a P-51A model now. Below 12,000 ft I would chew that Fw-190D up and spit it out. Great idea Mike Besutil!

Swoop73 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 You're right. In the outfit I'm most familiar with, the 325th, there were some pilots who preferred the C model, which of course is the same as the B. Slightly thinner wing and greenhouse canopy made it just a little faster and, some thought, a better gun platform. The drawback? The 50 cals had to be mounted partly on their sides which made a tighter turn for the ammo feed into the receivers. In a fight the guns were very likely to jam if you were firing and pulling more than 3 1/2 G's. They added electric motors to help move the belts but the D models had wings thick enough to take the Brownings upright. Wonder if they would model this? Sure would like to see this version....and about a hundred other WWII planes. I like jets but DCS is well on the way to the best WWII sim ever...if they just follow through.

Grim_Smiles Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'd love to see an older model razorback P-51, especially since I like the look of the razorback version better than the bubbletop. Heck I hope we see older model versions of all aircraft once DCS WWII Europe is released. Mission designers can then decide what era of plane they want in a mission, so that you don't have to worry about being in an older crate and being bounced by a late war aircraft.

Pman Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 One thing is interesting I found, there is actually a P-51B model within the DCS files and is viewable via model viewer. So who knows? :) Would love to see this bird, it just looks more badass to me. EDIT - Saved you some time. ED did look at making the B model, (Check your p51b.dll in the mods/aircrafts/P51-d/bin folder) But it was scrapped in favour of the D model. So afaik there are no plans to finish the b model and its there as a redundant entry. As for WW2 aircraft in DCS I have been putting some into it off my own back but the problem isnt getting the models into dcs and flying but getting a true afm in. All the programmers I spoke to about it want it to be a full blown module release, not something I am interested in doing solo.

VH-Rock Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm sure you could copy and paste over the P-51D AFM, no one would notice! It's not quite as simple as that. We have the P-51D AFM on our Spitfire, but it's not just a simple copy and paste. Virtual Horsemen - Right Wing (P-51) - 2008... Virtual Ultimate Fighters - Lead (P-47) - 2020...

It doesnt work that way if you want all the contact points working, cockpit positions without screwing he settings for the Mustang up etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westr Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I was fortunate enough to see a B at Duxford last year and got some nice shots of her. Although I would say the 'D' was a better looking aeroplane I found it so interesting to see her maybe because of how few there are. And the more you look at her she is still a beautiful aeroplane. I would love to see a B in DCS. RYZEN 7 3700X Running at 4.35 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti 32gb DDR4 RAM @3200 MHz Oculus CV1 NvME 970 EVO TM Warthog Stick & Throttle plus 11" extension.

joey45 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Is there gonna be a P-51B...??? Who knows.

Hellfire257 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hmm, no option for "I'd rather it be something else WW2 related". My vote would be the P-38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie87 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) I'd much rather have something more modern than a variant of the Mustang. Give me a multirole fighter though and you can have whatever you want! Saying that, I can't see it happening. With all the WW2 stuff on it's way already I'm hoping that ED will shift their focus onto the Vietnam era and beyond. We have choppers, we have ground pounders and we'll soon have a decent selection of warbirds. What DCS really needs is new terrain and a nice selection of fast jets (and no, FC3 doesn't count).
