![]() ![]() The 500lb bombs and HVAR rockets definitely work well. I didn’t check to see what my fuel status was so it may have been the rear tank causing extra stability issues in which case I’ll need to do some more testing. In turns you have to watch the stalls as this aircraft feels a little unstable. Purely from my own viewpoint, I feel like it may be a little overdone, and there are lots of non-flight model reasons for that but I do find that tuning each axis with +20 adjustments in DCS World dampens the controls to something that feels a little more reasonable and precise. The Mustang, like most WWII aircraft in DCS, seem to have some lateral stability issues which requires a fair bit of trimming and rudder work to keep on centre. So far I’ve only used the P-51D in the provided quick missions starting with a quick takeoff and tour around before getting into combat. The throaty growl of the Packard Merlin, the whistle from the gun ports, it’s all here and it’s very convincing. It is probably the most convincing P-51 Mustang sound I’ve heard in a flight sim so far. One thing I have to mention is the sound. It still looks brilliant 95% of the time. We’ve talked in the comments section about a few quality issues with the Spitfire cockpit and frankly I see a few of those here too. With so much sharp attention to detail these days in most DCS World modules I was a bit surprised. Oddly, I found a few of the gauges and labels to be blurry in an uncharacteristic way. There are lots of subtle details and the way the lighting interacts with the cockpit is very impressive in 2.5.6. The cockpit is very good having received a recent makeover. I think some of the materials may need to be checked out again after all of the recent engine upgrades but it certainly holds up. The exterior of the aircraft is very good. That can sometimes make for some difficult expectations, fortunately, DCS World treats the Mustang with what I think is an appropriate level of attention to try and bring the aircraft’s personality and character out. Whenever it shows up in a flight sim it brings with it a lot of history in tow. ![]() I’ve said it many times before and probably will again… the Mustang has a legendary status about it that transcends the actual airplane itself making it an icon. I’ve flown the TF-51D and now I’m jumping over to the combat capable version of the Mustang and here are my thoughts so far along with my usual suggestion for guides on getting started with this module. ![]() I almost forgot to check out the DCS: P-51D Mustang as its free (starting yesterday and ending today) to fly. ![]()
