Here ya go Viper, as requested:

She flies quite awesomely :)

 

Obviously, the landing speed in the P-51 is quite a bit lower than I originally thought :D

 

Or else I just suck at it. Hey, but I got it on the ground in one piece, no damage (I think).

 

The gun effects are awesome too. It actually looks like what you see in WWII gun camera footage, unlike IL-2 Suckovik.

 

Why is my throttle beeping at me when I put it at low throttle?

gears are not down

Do you think that getting 9 women pregnant will get you a baby in 1 month?

I see people manage to take off on their first try. Bet you were you white knuckling your joystick. :D

 

Can we have a take off, strafe a convoy with those .50 cal, fire a salvo of rockets at some parked A-10Cs and land?

ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Actually.. it really wasn't very hard. I double-checked that game flight mode was disabled. Maybe some people's takeoff missions have wind or something that makes it more difficult?

Did you check if the landing and rudder helpers were on?

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Very well done Speed - no damage on that bird :)

 

@ Leafer: Fuel-State usually plays a role, as well as how hamfisted you are with the take-off roll. If you treat her gentle and watch overcorrection you're pretty much OK. I can see (me being one of them when I started with the Mustang) that exclusive Jet-Pilots might have issues, but all easily cured after the fourth-or-so tumble.

That's your landing gear.

 

Check the Flight Manual, it explains that based on certain conditions (throttle lever position, landing gear state, etc.) a horn sounds to alert the pilot of a potential hazardous situation (too low, too slow and gear not down and locked).

 

There's a horn silencer button on the right of the lower front dash - and I guess there is a reason why it had been implemented ;)

sorry I don't have a video (problem with FRAPS) but my 1st takeoff was not what I expected loll.

I thought it would have a lot of torque and that I would be full rudder to compensate, but it was not that bad, only a little pressure was sufficient. I only pushed at 50MP though. But it went really funny when I took off... I think the plane was not trimmed LOLL. was about 10ft over ground, and then the plane pitched 90degrees up... lost all speed, veer to left, crashed and burnt :helpsmilie::music_whistling:

 

2nd time I pushed it at 60 MP, but trimmed it, and it flew relly well.:pilotfly:

 

Landing was kinda easy. Landed a bit fast(around 140kt) but the problem was my brake. Forgot to onverse the slider in the options, so as soon as I touched the ground the Mustang began to go left-right. Finnaly it made a 180 degree turn to the left on the grass, the nose it the ground, destroyed the propeller....:joystick:

 

But as saying says... A good landing is... :megalol:

 

After a couple of TouchNgo, I tried the DogFight mission. I don't know if the AI was in ''All mighty god mode'' but not once I was able to place myself behind the other Mustang. After about 4 minutes of escaping my rival he exploed my right wing...

CTRL+E x3 and then.. wow, I love the way you bailed out. It's not perfect yet, but I love the way it's going! Gj guys

THAT'S IT!

 

"Autorudder" was on. I didn't even know there was such an option... why is there even an "autorudder" in the first place?

 

Anyway, I'll have to record a new video now, with "autorudder" off :(

Try flying it without auto rudder and you'll soon find out. ;)

Ok. Yea, now I get it.

 

I knew there was something wrong when I found this so easy.

 

Crashing on my takeoff attempts now :)

 

Edit: Got it on the third try!
