With the best intentions and love for the P-51D

[piXel496]

:mad: I hate it too when people come with changes or new ideas during a revision because then deadlines come under pressure etc., but. :noexpression:

 

The P-51D got no updates in 1.27. It would be nice to give it some extra by adding the default available DCS smoke colors to the HWAR's. It does not take a lot of work since it is more like "rewireing existing code" and double check.

 

It is here written and tested. Using the format ED uses without disturbing existing code from 1.27beta. I know it could be a mod but it would interfere with network consistency because 5 files need altering. I think the P-51D deserves this feature by default and it would be great in multiplayer games.

I hope I am not an annoyance. I just want to help and put the money where my mouth is.

...BTW, the above has nothing in common with my multicolor smoke mod

[theOden]

Very nice.

 

Still, the 1.2.7 is not final and above that, what ED is aiming for is primarily net-stability and being a bigger issue while also severe I think we shouldn't blame them if out Mustang has to wait one patch to get improvements.

 

"First thing first" as some say.

The P-51D got no updates in 1.27.

 

 

V1.2.7

 

DCS: P-51D Mustang

* Added Israeli skin by Mario “Markindel”.

* Added oil system leakage with subsequent damage effects for the engine as it runs out of oil. No visual effect yet, so watch oil pressure.
