Yes, great plane! Probably going to buy BON once this beauty is released

It's not just the fin-fillet, but also (and more importantly) the reverse boost-tab modification, turning the rudder-trim into a combined counter boost-tab to increase the required rudder-force.

 

It's not the slow-rolls that took off the tail, but rudder-reversals and overcontrols during the maneuver, leading to sideslip-angles up to or even greater than 15° beta.

It's essentially the same failure mode as on American Airlines 587 - with the variation that on the P-51 the horizontal tail seemed to fail first.

 

 

I'm kind of curious if that problem hadn't been there on Allison Mustangs or whether the deeper cowling of the Merlin brought up this issue, increasing side-area on the fwd fuselage.

How did I know this is going to be "guys having orgasm over plane" thread? LOL

 

Some of these DDs are better than porn,.. though Yeager may disagree.

Two wishe's of defaults!

 

 

By the way, Clarence “Bud” Anderson will be 100 years old in January! I know this because I recently purchased his wonderful book, To Fly and Fight, and he signed it for me and I emailed back and forth with his son Jim (another fighter pilot) a bit.

It would be a lovely gift to have the Old Crow livery as a default for his birthday! I am quite sure he would be delighted!

Yes, let's make a video for Mr. Anderson with his paintjob for his 100th! Maybe he'll like it.

Simply not true.

 

Your correct. I misread this info , production wise the P-51d was about 2x the number of the b/c models.

Take note in the cockpit rear view pic, that the gauge for the long range fuselage tank is present.

The P-51B-7-NA/P-51C-3-NT block with the Packard V-1650-3 engine introduced the 85 gallon fuselage tank on the production line.

 

If this aircraft is going to have the Packard V-1650-7 engine this engine was introduced in production block P-51B-15/P-51C5-NT.

 

Which production block(s) are we getting for the P-51B/C aircraft in the game?

Wow, great work! Looking forward to flying this plane!!!

[atyour6]

 

Greatly Appreciate the incredible work!!  I know quality takes time but was just wondering about how the DVD (Dynamic Visual Damage) is coming along.   It seems like I can see this effect on certain tanks but it was noted a while back that the P51D was also affected.   Maybe its my system or something but I dont see any difference on any aircraft.   However looking very forward to it as the clouds and the tracer appearance (especially at a distance) looks so freaking real..     Cant wait for the P51 B!!  

 

Thanks!

[CAFulcrum]

I just want to say (a little late) how much I appreciate the new AQMB, it's the first time with this game that I've actually kept going back to play it beyond checking out the latest update/plane release.  Also looking forward to the p51b, in past sims it's been a bit more maneuverable and easier to fly than the 51d, so it'll be interesting to see how it does with the il2 treatment.
