Warbirdsim P-51D "Little Friends" Released

[bomberpilot500]

North American's P-51D Mustang is brought to life in part 3 of Warbirdsim's series of this classic aircraft for FSX. "Little Friends" was the colloquial and affectionate label for the escort fighters, as given to by the allied bomber pilots in World War II, who in embarking on daylight raids to targets deep over enemy territory, depended greatly upon the "Little Friends" to get them safely home. The most commonly associated for this task is the P-51 Mustang. Because of its long range capabilities, large internal fuel capacity, and external drop tanks, the P-51 was able to escort bombers deep into Germany and Japan. In this, the most detailed of Warbirdsim's part series covering the P-51D Mustang, the only thing that is missing is the smell! Here the P-51D and P-51K is modelled for the first time by Warbirdsim in its true original form. Featuring the most detailed Mustang gun bay so far created for any flight simulator platform. All of the mounting brackets, ammunition feed chutes, link-ejector chutes, and shell ejector chutes for each individual 50-cal machine gun are accurately reproduced. For the rivet counters amongst us, even the number of individual links in the ammunition feed chutes is correct. Also featured, for Acceleration users, is a working 2-stage, 2-speed supercharger. Careful use of the power is needed; keep an eye on that manifold pressure and RPM, as the engine will quite literally blow up if due care and attention is not taken. Be sure to read the user guide!
