April 22Apr 22 This works with the 2020 Reno P51 or the native 2024 default P-51. This mod received a significant update recently, with a from-scratch flight model. And a lot more... I really enjoy flying it now (2024). It's got the required gentle rudder pedal dance on takeoff but is very controllable and agile, and the landing behavior is VASTLY improved. There's also a version with the WT GNS430W for increased situational awareness. Please check out the details here (I have no affiliation with this project but I just enjoy the P-51) https://flightsim.to/addon/87154/asobo-reno-p-51d-improvement-mod (I know pictures don't show flight models very well but.... just two to get you in the mood!) Just one more...bare metal in the sunrise 🙂 Edited April 23Apr 23 by ryanbatc | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
April 23Apr 23 Thanks for the heads-up. I had pretty much given up on the 51 in 2024. This breathes new life into it, for sure! i7-13700KF @ 5.3GHz 32.0GB DDR5 @ 5600 RTX 3080 65" LG OLED @ 4k

It was a disaster before 1.5 - I mean he did a nice job with what he had, but the new CFD flight model is a huge positive. Of course there's more than just the flight model. I'm looking into some instrument changes if possible to give it a little more capability. I'd love to get a GTN 650xi in place of the GNS430 (easier to manipulate in the sim with touch). And I'd like to see an HSI for some approach capability. Ehhh... throw in a GFC500 AP for those longer flights as well - but that's really pushing it hehe. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

April 23Apr 23 Where do I put this file that I downloaded. I tried putting in the 2024 Community folder and got an "unsuspected error" message. Disregard. I didn't download the Main File. Edited April 23Apr 23 by Roy Warren i7-10700 CPU @2.90 GHz, 32 GB Ram, nVadia GTX1660ti, Samsung 1 TB SSD Drive

I've found it the other way around. But did you have a crosswind? I only had light winds when I was flying before. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

I own it, but honestly don't think it is that good, other than the graphics... Compared to Spitfires in either IL-2 or DCS, or even AoT, leaves a lot ot be desired IMO... I gave a go to this P-51. It's decent yes, surely better than the ASOBO default, but compared to the P51 / Tf51 in DCS or even in IL-2 ... 😞 Edited April 24Apr 24 by jcomm Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Just compare the A2A and the DCS P-51: completely different airplanes. In MSFS24 I find a good without bullets compromise. Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).

Just compare the A2A and the DCS P-51: completely different airplanes. In MSFS24 I find a good without bullets compromise. Energy retention in vertical maneuvers is very well done in DCS and IL-2 Great Battles, and even in Aces of Thunder. With the sucessive updates the damage due to overstress in these combat sims was also made very realistic. One of the reasons I stopped using the A2A p51d was how disappointing it's flight dynamics felt compared to the DCS p51, starting with the transition from ground to flight during the takeoff... I remember I could climb at 75° full throttle and observe almost no prop effects until I was in a stall, which is totally unrealistic... The prop aircraft in MSFS even with the new CFD enabled like in this p51 mod don't feel much better unfortunately🥴 Edited April 24Apr 24 by jcomm Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
