kanssen Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Hi I've just downloaded DCS World (which I have to say is the best combat sim I've seen!) But can't work out how to load guns or the HUD on the P51? I've tried 'create fast mission' but the HUD is always missing and the guns don't work. I've even gone into the mission editor and added a P51, but the only option I have is reconnaissance, if I select anything else the plane changes to a non-playable aircraft and I can't add any loadout. Is this due to it being the free download version, or am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
saburo_cz Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 You do not own DCS P-51D module. Free TP-51D included in DCS World is demilitarized model, it does not have any weapon. It is only tranning plane.

Smitty Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Are you in the P-51 or the TF-51? The TF-51 that comes free with DCS world is a trainer and doesn't have weapons. If you're seeing the gyro sight (HUD?) then it should be the P-51 though. The switch to arm the guns is on the hexagonal panel between the pilots legs. You'll find the switch on the left side of this panel. This will turn on the gunsight as well. Controls for turning on the gyro as well as changing from fixed to gyro mode are on the oval shaped box on the top left of the instrument panel.
NeilWillis Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Yes, the P-51D is a module you have to buy. The TF-51 is a civilianised version, which comes free with DCS World along with the Su-25T. If you can wait a short while, there are regular sales promotions, so you may be able to get it for less than $10 soon.
kanssen Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Ahh that explains it!! Yes I'm using the free version. Thank you all very much for your help. I'll keep an eye out for a promo and buy the full 'P-51D'. Excellent sim, and great forum, thanks guys!
