P-51B with Malcom hood in RAF livery

Postby fido » Sun Nov 09, 2003 11:57 am

I have been in love with this plane for decades, you see when I was but a lad, my Dad, (a former USAAF bomber pilot) had many pilot friends, one of which was a Brit, named Frank Parker. Mr. Parker flew the P51B with the spit style canopy or hood. I have found a 1% aircraft that fits the bill, with just a few exceptions, the landing gear dosen't show, the flaps don't show, the hood won't roll back, the lights don't work,and the sound is ify. I was wondering if there is either a fix, or if there is a Gmax, or some other version that will work in FS2K4. I have tried some of the P-51B versions here, and elsewhere, but they have the same gear and flap problems. Your help would really be appreciated.

Hi Fido. This sounds like a typical early CFS2 aircraft - an FSDS1 design animated with AA which will be incompatible with FS2004. Sorry I don't know of an updated or new example offhand but then, I no longer keep up with the latest developments as I used to.

I know there is a gmax D model under development at the moment, but I've heard nothing of a B model.

Sorry
Ozzy :(

Thanks guys, I'll just have to keep looking. Ozzy I know how much you love Spits and so do I but, the P51B with a Spit style canopy really does look good.

Fido I'll keep my ear to the ground (I'm heavily involved with warbird work at the moment), and if I hear anything, you'll be the first to know ;)
