    Is it just me or does the pilot seem huge?

    Ya gotta remember, Ryan, that the pilots of old wore either a canvas or leather flying helmet that looked much smaller than the modern ones...:mixedsmi:

    that radiator scoop on the bottom looks kinda huge, regardless ill be looking for this release, any idea if there will be any sort of engine damage modeling? Pinning the throttle forward with no worries kind of bored me nowadays.

    The nose is a little wonky in my opinion, and I agree that the pilot is big too.

    Don't see what this has to offer that the A2A model doesn't. Exterior model looks decidedly inferior, the windscreen is wrong for one thing (almost no taper).

    It looks like a P-51 Mustang to me!

    "The nose is wonky, the windscreen is the wrong angle, the pilots too big, the radiators the wrong size"..glad I'm not a developer. Isnt best to wait until the things out to make a final judgement?

    Did you guys not see the overlay of the wireframe over a picture the real one..plus the comment by Jankees and subsequent correction of the nose area in the link I posted above...it looks pretty good to my eyes...and no I have nothing to do with Aeroplane Heaven or Flight 1.

    correction: The nose looks wonky in the first screenshots.

    You did a great job on that Hellcat. I own it now, but honestly I am Mustanged out unless it comes with Accusim. The only other Cub I wanna see is a Super Cub. It is time for some new stuff to be developed guys. Some time back we did a list of planes we want to see in FSX. I am hoping somebody is listening. You guys do really good work and we have a host of other great developers...please check that list! Maybe we should start a new one.

    Personally, I would love a Marauder, and a really good Harvard, and a good Storch, for starters...
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.

    I thought it looked way way better than my A2A, hands down. Bump mapping is sweet.

    To me the exterior is only about 30% of the model and I don't get too excited about pictures anymore. Engine and system modeling, sound, and flight modeling are what sell a plane to me.

    I will never be the one worrying much over pilot size, markings, or windscreen angle. :ernae:

    Oh yeah? Show me one that's been done really well, and looks as good as some of the newer releases we're getting now.

    Don't want this to get off topic. The Mustang is really nice, just expressing some frustration with the same aircraft over and over. This one does look like a keeper

    Hi Guys

    I wasn't saying the new mustang was not well modelled etc.

    I was saying that we don't need another so soon.

    A mustang nut will part with his hard earned for another but most people who have the A2A will stay where they are so you just limit your income by choosiing a model that already has it's market filled.

    It's only my opinion and will not stop anyone buying your rendition :ernae:

    not much point me listing all the missing models as it would fill up the whole forum but you don't need to look very far.

    I spend a long time making sure i don't model anything that already has been done in recent times

    But then again i found that making payware to try and get rich was also a complete waste of time & effort.

    which is why i have gone back to freeware for good (or until i get offered a proper amount of money for the job in hand)

    Regards
    Rick

    Just think about how much time is invested in such a project - (years!) - and then when it comes down to the final month or week of work, and it is claimed that it is not needed now. As such, who would have thought at the beginning of its production or even research stage that it would join a couple of others in the pipeline as well - no, this is not going to be the last Mustang you see produced for FSX, and I am sure each is going to be very different from one another.

    I'm not affiliated with AH, but look at all of the other various aircraft they have produced! I sure wish I could back up my own Mustang production with the same experience that AH has building everything from WWI wood and fabric aircraft, to the DH Mosquito, the Connie, and who else has built a Boomerang, F3F, or Schmittfire?

    This just my own opinion, and I don't think the Mustang market, at least from my trained eye, is close to being filled at all, as there is far too much room for improvement over what has been available.

    It seems we are turning into a bunch of grumpy old men here :d.

    Well at least I must be getting old as I can remember the day we were still happy with new releases.

    Most discussions in this thread have been done before. Yes modern helmets do look big in vintage aircrafts. Yes the Mustang is a popular model. Yes 2A2 makes models as well. Yes when you are in the candy business, perhaps the 3 factories making chocolate sell more than the one who is trying to sell cowsh*t.

    Sorry guys, I better finish now as I just realised I'm just a grumpy old man

    I dont have a Mustang in FSX (other than the default one) as I was a late FSX starter..but I will be keen if this model is at least equivalent to the Realair Spitfire in all aspects..I will wait and see.

    Is the A2A Mustang fully FSX or a portover?
