MS donates a free plane to all of us: P-51 Red-Tail

[Heimi 91]

The Microsoft Flight team is proud to announce our partnership with RED TAILS! We'll be offering a free RED TAILS P-51 Mustang to celebrate the recent release of RED TAILS on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download.

 

RED TAILS tells the high-flying epic tale of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American combat unit to serve in World War II. Check out www.Facebook.com/RedTails to learn more.

I have problems understanding the sentence : are they offering a P-51 in red tail livery to ALL players ?

On steam she said, when asked if it was a whole plane or a paint job for the existing one, she said "free plane"

The question, is this going to be the June 27 release pushing Alaska out to July?

[ramvid01 0]

Why would it be? I believe they already confirmed a deluxe plane would come with Alaska.

Ok I just saw the message from Delafina. Quite nice move from MSF :Peace: , I hope for new paint schemes for "the most used plane in the game" the Maule soon too :Party:

Yeah even one of my passengers commented on that... "don't you have anything besides blue?" "umm, i have a gold one" " *cough* "

Well, it looks like I will be able to get a few more aerocaches and achievements now.

 

I'm even more glad now that I resisted buying a warbird just to get them.

Is this not just another paint scheme for those that all ready own the P-51? Making a total of three.

I am not sure if there will be two P-51s in the hanger, or if it will be in the paint scheme page. I do know from a post by Delafina that those who haven’t purchased the P-51 will get this plane. I assume they will not get the original paint schemes.

So........ when is this all happening. I usually speak English well (I hope so, since I am a native) but this whole thing seems kind of unclear.

[RoboRay 126]

I didn't catch a "delivery date" either.

Really? When I started Flight the other day, was sure it mentioned on the loading screen it was just a paintjob for it. Either way, I won't be installing, got to stick with my principles of not accepting a plane with no cockpit, don't want to give MS the wrong idea, LOL.

 

Nice gesture for those that have it though.

Wednesday MS announced a new paint scheme which should be available for download. Apparently they suddenly came up with another idea: they decided to give everyone a free P-51 with the Red Tail paint scheme. When that will happen no one knows yet. It's also not known yet what will happen when you have bought the P-51 already (if it will show up as a seperate plane or if you just get an extra paint scheme). Time will tell.

 

All in all it's a nice gesture from MS and it gives you an opportunity to find out what everyone is talking about on this forum and if you like it or not.

I cleaned this topic up a bit which meant I had to remove more then half of the posts... I also had to remove some (very few) 'good' posts because they were related to 'bad' posts. Please try to keep it friendly and positive from now on. Any negative remarks will simply be removed without notice. Apparently some people like a bit tougher moderation: I tried to be fair and keep it peaceful, but well, that clearly failed (I'm only human ). If you have something to say about this, PM me and don't post it here, please!
