Personally, I wish to see a P-51D with gyro sights.

My guess is that it was a sight that used a Gyroscope to give you a better estimate on where your shot was going while turning or moving around.  Kinda like the gunsights on modern aircraft, where the reticule moves around depending on the current motion of the jet.

That's just a guess though, seems to make the most sense to me because I don't see how a gyroscopic stabilized sight would be useful in an aircraft.

No offense, but how many more versions of the same american planes do you want to see before we get the ones that are really needed to fill out the stable?  The holes in the Japanese and Russian planesets alone are enough to keep HiTech and his crew busy for a couple of years.  We still have no German bombers save the Ju88 and 87, no Japanese bombers save the Ki-67, and no Russian bombers save the Il-2.  

We have 2 versions of the P51, 3 versions of the P47, 3 versions of the P38, 2 versions of the P40, 2 versions of the F4F, 4 versions of the F4U ............... and then the american bombers, the B17, A20, SBD, TBM, B24 ........................ and thats just the american planes, that doesnt even add in all the versions of british planes we have to round out the allied planeset.  

Dont get me wrong, I fly the F4U anytime I can.  I'm not against seeing american iron in the virtual skies.  But there are more important things that seeing another pony added to a stable thats already over represented.

Are those boosters not a prototype and were never used? I'll have to take a look in my books.

The sight we have on the mustang currently should be capable of what Kweassa is asking for. It should also have other options that it's currently not capable of.

I really think it's photoshopped.  I'd never seen or heard of any Ramjet mods to the P-51.  Hence the :D at the bottom of my other post.

Check Wright Patterson link here. They were "pulsejets" there was also a modified P-51 with ramjets. It's the 10th and 11th photo starting from the bottom.
