P-51D primary and secondary guns are now set up to the correct weapon groups.


Who says they don't listen to the customers.  And to think I was considering the whiskey bribe method. :rofl :aok

I have read posts about this for awhile now....what exactly is/was the big deal?  4 guns on 1 trigger, 2 on the other?  Did it go inside matched with outside and the middle gun being the odd one?

Strangely enough, it didn't drive me to alcohol.  Guess I chose wisely. :)

Yep that was it. :lol

Seriously, the load out had 4 guns with the same number of 50 cal rounds and another 2 guns with more rounds (Its late and I am not going to go dig out the precise numbers).

The P-51D could have it's guns set to fire in any groupings by some switches.  So, any setup is correct, but most of the pilots set them to fire with 4 in sequence and 2 by themselves for "plinking".  This is mentioned coincidently in the December issue of Flypast (just got it airmail from England today).

Cheers.
