A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A 'great' landing is one after which they can use the airplane again.

Hi there,

Nice screenshots! I love the Mustang. When that big V12 comes to live it's just awesome!

Have fun

Couldn't agree more about how amazing this beautiful bird is. It's always been my favorite war plane since I was a kid and to finally get to fly it like this is quite cool.

Great series of screenies!

Sure hope you read the WARNING LABEL! The one that says "this product may become addictive!"

This airplane is quite possibly the best I personally have come across. From the FS2004 version to now.

You made her look outstanding. Sharp and crisp!

Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks, guys !

Been scouring the 'repaints' forums the past few days. I came across many, but this one especially caught my eye, so had to download it as one of my first. :D

Nice paint but you gotta add some gloss to the blue and yellow paint like in the real picture. It's a military pattern and would of been flat if it was an actual paint back in WWII but this has been applied as a civilian paint scheme which incorporates a gloss on the blue.

I would add that the actual body is silver paint (clean, not weathered) and not bare aluminum. Regardless, Tom Weiss did an excellent job creating the paint.
