More like beta 4.5 (Still trying to fix the 3D tail shading problems)

Unzip to your \Fighter Squadron directory
There is only one file (P51d.sm) no readme.

Download P51dBeta5.zip

Here is a list of changes.

Aileron damage (Improved AI)
Radiator and oil cooler located at bottom of plane (correct location)
Intergated Condors engine damage
Improved ground handling (AI now takes off)
Flat tires
Brake failure

I need you guys to test the damage model and give me feedback before I move on to the 3D stuff (tail and cockpit)

The FM has only been changed to get the AI to take off (This is not the official FM)

Please post anything you would like to see fixed here. (FM will be worked on last)

Lesee. set rudder trim 3 notches right, set aileron trim (takes seven clicks) to counter torque effect. Apply some up elevtor with the the stick to keep the tail on the ground until speed is up. Push throttle fwd to 55-65% and she takes off with only a little corrective input.
This is darn close to the real procedure for a P-51 takeoff.

I hope when you modify the FM the ground handling stays the same

Will check on the DM
