about everyone I talk to in this game that knows anything about the P-51 will tell you that the pony in this game does not perform as it did in the real world. Is this in fact the case? And if so why would HTC do that?
I'd like to hear from someone on the HTC staff on this. 
No offense but this will only attract the armchair historians out of the woodwork. Hitech flew a p-51, at least that's what the guys here say. Don't know if it was an "original" or restored bird. Maybe a reno racer version, who knows. I would imagine that it wasn't the real thing being so old as they are now having to have so much replaced on them to take away from the authenticity of said p-51. I'm sure that from that ride or rides the flight model is completely piss perfect and true to the real thing as much as possible that can be recreated within the game engine as it is. Also, think that my wifes grandfather is more correct on the flight model of the F6F over the games version as he used to fly one himself in the pacific theatre, but that's for another post. Hard part for the game is to replicate the feeling of flight and speed as well. If you have some sort of found manual or something that gives tactical diameters and things of that nature, please scan them and send them to hitech so they can look them over. Who knows maybe you might have somethig that can bring the game closer to being a sim.
