Q: What weapons will be available for the P-51?
A: The DCS P-51D will be armed with 6 .50 cal. machine guns, 5 in. HVAR unguided rockets, and 500 lbs general purpose bombs. The guns will fire armor-piercing (AP) and armor-piercing incendiary tracer (APIT) rounds. In addition, two 75 gal. drop tanks will be available.
Q: Will we be able to adjust gun settings, such as ammo and convergence range?
A: The DCS P-51D guns are boresighted by default according to standard USAAF guidelines for the Mustang, but adjustment will be possible through a combination of the payload editor and the LUA configuration files.
Q: Does the DCS P-51D include any modern avionics?
A: The DCS P-51D will include a moving map on the pilot's "kneeboard" to aid in navigation. As in Black Shark, the player will be able to set the pilot body in the cockpit on and off in-game, which will also show/hide the moving map. Also, the pilot 3D model is based on a contemporary pilot's flight suit and head gear. |
