View Full Version : Two P-51 questions.
1. Is it me or do you now blackout easier?
2. Besides the giro-sight is there a preformance difference in the D5 and D20?
Yip she black outs very easy. Some will say its the speed when you turn. I will say what speed. That mustang ant got no speed in this sim.
I find they are the same as they where before in regards to blackouts.
In real life there was a slight differance in manuverablity between the P-51D and P-51K, i could be wronge. Both aircraft have the same engine and max top speeds.
I dont know if this has to do with all planes but i find that the P-51 holds its Energy better in manuvers.
I remember in 1.22 that i could pull off the Immelmann, now i can do two of them if i pick up enough speed. The P-51's seem to have a lower stall speed then before. You guys notice this?
tweak your Y axis sensitivity.
I use 0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0 with my X45.
With the settings tweaked right the 51 feels just about right as far as black outs, imo.
It does seem to lack speed/acceleration in the 325~ range. Im not sure about this, but it seems to me the 51 in FB is faster with auto prop pitch than 100%. I had to unmap manual prop pitch from a slider to really notice it.
Not really sure about this, still looking at it.
as a trade off, it does seem to have a lower stall speed. I think you are right Tiger.
I thought i noticed something differant. I mean i do fly the P-51's and P-47's alot. I just remember that in 1.22 when coming out of the Immelmann that i would have hardly any energy lol.
As for the P-51 and or i should say alied planes there is no option for manuel prop pitch. Even in real live they didn't have manual prop pitch for most alied planes.
The P-51 has a CPS(Constant Speed Propeller). All you do is set your desired RPM. The propeller governer will automaticaly change pitch to stay at the RPM you have set.
Again, the P-51 does not have manuel prop pitch(Variable Pitch Propeller).
I know that the 51 used a csp.
But I think the 51 seems faster in game if you dont even have man prop pitch mapped to a slider. Im not sure, but I think there is a bug with auto prop pitch.
the difference is mostly noticeable 325~ mph and up. Just an observation, need to dig further. I might be wrong.
I have manual prop pitch mapped to fly other aircraft, not the 51.
