Rupert Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Great shot! How does it fly? I've not found a Mustang sim with what I consider a correct flight simulation. If this one flies well, I'll want to look for it! ;) Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a F-8 is a totally different plane. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) OK, I should have said I was looking for an alternative to the Mustang. Why, because none I've not found one that seems very accurate. I know a F-8 is a totally different plane. Okay, you commented on my post of the F-8. Finding an alternative to the Mustang should not be all that difficult. To stand your ground and say the Mustang has it all, you will get arguments for sure. Some will say the Corsair, Spitfire and the Messerschmitt BF-109. I personally favor the Mustang, as that is what I liked seeing growing up and reading of it in the history books! In my old home town in Ohio, the guy who ran the local FBO, owned one personally, as he flew them in WWII. BUT, he only flew it once a year, as the price of fuel that it burned would eat him alive! :rolleyes: Now, from a simming POV, I have the Mustang, Corsair, Spitfire, and the Republic XP-72. You should have all these to play with. My favorite is the Mustang, however, I like them all. If you wanted something interesting, try the Milton Shupe and team's Republic XP-72, it is a winner! If that doesn't do it, try them all, and you tell me what YOU like! You say you fly "low and slow," BUT, in these you might fly low, but, definitely now slow! Oh, and thanks for the comment! Enjoy!

Downwind66 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Michael - Here is one of the Alphasim P-51D aircraft I have. I also have many of the Warwick Carter P-51D's. Many of these were FS2004 downloads, which is no problem, just find a suitable panel and sound and you are flying! Here's the Milton Shupe Republic XP-72 Enjoy - Rick :cool: Edited January 20, 2022 by Downwind66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
