P-51 Mustang

[Guest Watervillevor]

I just read the excellent review of the new P-51 Mustang freeware plane on Avsim. I would love to have this bird but, for some reason, it does not show up when I run a search for the file. I'm using FS2004 original aircraft and P-51 Mustang. All that comes back are a few repaints of older P-51 aircraft. What am I doing wrong?Watervillevor

The P-51 is not distributed through AVSIM. At the top of reviews, below the addon title, it will say who the publisher is, click that link and it will take you there.www.gjsmith.net

Thanks for that Joe.

I love these forums!!!Joe, Thanks for the tip; went to the site, downloaded the zip and I now have this great bird on my machine. My machine, by the way, is an old Gateway with a 700 meg Athalon, 384 meg RAM, a Nvidia 256 meg card and WIN 98SE.Before you all cringe, if I set my sliders at about middle and FPS at unlimited, I can get a not bad 15 FPS with this bird at Jackson Hole, WY, KJAC. If I try to fly it out of Toledo Express KTOL, where I live, it drops down to about 8-9 FPS. Still, it is fun and I have yet to land this bird without crashing and I'm a real-life pilot with probably over 3000 landings to my credit in 37 years of flying real ones. (I must admit that the P51 Mustang is hardly a C-172). Interestingly, the F4U Corsair in FS2002 Pro is very flyable and a great warbird for people to learn how to fly a taildragger.Thanks again for the tip, Joe.Buzz Jameson
