Best Feeware P-51...

[Walter]

Ok, so normally I'm not a big Mustang fan, but for some reason today I really want a Mustang. I have Acceleration, but I don't want the Reno Air Race 'Stangs. I would really like a war-ready one. Does anybody know of one? I'd buy the Warbirdsim one, but I'm more into the Classics Hangar FW-190 (Which is by far my favorite aircraft). So I was wondering, are there any decent freeware ones out there?

Thank you!

Walter

Warwick "Wozza" Carter did a very nice one for FS2004. I assume it will work in FSX with the usual shortcomings. There are some very nice repaints done for this model, especially those done by John "Bomber_12th" Terrell.

Cheers,

I don't know of any freeware P-51 that is FSX native and there is certainly no listing for one in the FSX native freeware spreadsheet I created.

Thanks! I got it and took it for a spin, and now the itch has been cured! Thank you!

AlphaSim P-51D Mustang Upgraded for FSX by Steve Hess......Multiple paints...NICE!

Am the same as you and as it happens in the middle of a mini Mustang (freeware) binge myself!

Warwick "Wozza" Carter is great for the D model. But my favourite originated right here at the SOH - the FDG2 P-51B/C "Malcolm Hood" you can find in the SOH Library. I have had only a few niggles getting it to look and fly well in FSX. Have imported a freeware 2D panel (intended for the default Mustang "racer") at flightsim.com and there is prop bmp upgrade here under Banana Bob's files. Happy to share some other tweaks if interested. Lots of good paints.

Have fun.

I just had to drop the bomb on this topic, if you are after a really really good P51 and freeware I have one for you right here also this is the only in my opinion a good one.

****NOTICE****** this upload of P51 is freeware, I do not own the model....the model belongs to it's original owner, all the credit goes to original owner and the rest of it.

<-------- that is for the creator of this Freeware P51 (it's that good)

This is Wozza's (Warwick Carter) Mustang that was mentionned at the beginning of the topic. An excellent model, indeed.

Aaaaah this solves my mistery of the owner, fancy that

Hehe yes, Wozza Mustang made quite a lot of noise when it became available.
It was my favorite warbird, together with the default CFS2 planes, when I was flying in FS9. The package p51dver2.zip also features some nice custom sounds, and you can even download a good pack of very nice photoreal repaints
I flew it quite a lot in FSX too, until I switched to Accusim planes.

Daube,

Where did you get these two repaints?

You can find all of them here in the "Warbird's Archive" (not the "Warbird's Library"!).
Just filter by author's name, you're looking for skins made by "yago9".
Here is a link, I hope it will work. The Mustang repaints are divided into 5 to 6 packs if I remember correctly, they started to appear in the list on the 4th page: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...&ammm=15&pap=4

Bananabob did some photoreal repaints for that bird too, I think.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Expect not too many are interested as most prefer the D bird (B/C was a bit faster b/tw/) but I just succeeded in splicing/merging the airfile and air.cfg from Wozza's D a/c into the FDG2 P-51C. All you need to do is keep the lights and contacts from the FDG a/c - and of course the repaint entries. Flies and looks a dream for an old freeware bird. Tiding me over while waiting for Warbidsim to do their P-51B/C Flight Leader II series for FSX.

I love the B/C! Please share your changes! (I'm terrible at editing the air and aircraft.cfg files)
