saa Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Is the antenna looking thing sticking out of the bottom of the aircraft some kind of artifact? In all the photos and videos of P-51s I’ve seen I’ve never noticed one at that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICDO Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) The DCS P-51D is a late model block/revision 25 or 30, at a hunch I would say ED chose this late version as it allowed them to include HVARs as part of the weopons aresenal. Most of the skins included with the sim are for ealier revisions and are slightly ahistorical. Most people wouldn't be aware of this minor issue so it's not a problem to be honest (IMHO). The antenna under the nose was a PTO Iwo Jima mod and was PTO only. Lots of very good Iwo P-51D images on this site. http://www.7thfighter.com/albums/index.php/Iwo-Jima-Post-Invasion-Ops/342-FH-3A-42170-70296AC_45th_fs_p_71_mary_beth_67_tom_cat_463433_ Edited May 7, 2012 by ICDO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Fenrir Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yeah ICDO, the twin antenna on the rear fuselage confirm the PTO variant of our current 3D model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
