I prefer the modeling/textures/sounds of the Warbirdsim over the A2A add-ons. Just personal preference. I have not flown a P-51D in real life though like so many people here though, so I can't comment on the flight dynamics. lol

Dexter, thank you for the comments! It is great to see such support behind these products and our goals at Warbirdsim!I recently tasked myself with making a bit of a comparison between real life and the simulator environment, and I thought I could share that here as well:

Certainly a beautiful work!

WOW!!... Just incredible the level of detail... :( Well... I'm out to make a couple of patterns at Duxford with Ferocious Frankie...FYI... I have the FPS limited to 30...Dexter

Are the early versions B/C in the same incredible style or are they not that good?

Hey there Superpilotv2!The P-51B/C's have been undergoing a long-term updating process to bring them up to the same standard as the P-51D products. As the creator of both, I can easily say that no, they aren't on par with each other, but if you want early-model P-51's, I think they hold their own. There is a two-year difference between when the B/C's were released and when the D's were released, and during that time, the developed skill-set and available resources to recreate the P-51D airframe to the nth degree we went to, became available, and so did resources to do the same with the P-51B/C's (which, until the release of the Warbirdsim P-51D's, were already the most accurate visual model P-51 types available). Everything about the Warbirdsim P-51D products, was built new completely from scratch, carrying over nothing from the earlier released B/C's, building off of original manufacturer's drawings which we did not have at the outset of the B/C build. When the update is eventually finished (which is a ground-up deal) hopefully sometime this year, it will be free to existing owners of the B/C's for FSX (but there are other good things in the pipeline as well).

Hey thanks for this useful information. You have won another customer for the early versions. :smile:But in the moment I don´t have the money cause I´m saving for a combat effiency update for my current system. But when it´s done (I hope some weeks after easter.) your planes are on the very top of my purchsing list.Bt. very good work on both, the old and new versions.
