P-51d mustang is out

[Major Gripe 0]

'Hey it thinks what you did is great son keep up the good work ive used alot of MP5s well in Force Recon and all i think is dumb about the Mp5s that i see in games is well none of them have the right firing sounds get those right and youll be fine.  

methinks this is in the wrong topic!

Ontopic this a great addon but it could do with some custom pilots, I've been using Brattys Corsair pilots but it would be better to have period airmen coded in. Excellent work AiA, I look forward to a Bf-109!!

[reconmercs 0]

this is a GREAT addon of a GREAAAT fighter. The one thing wrong I can tell is that there is no ww2 pilot to go with it. They prob couldn've used the pilot model from the F4U and also it doesn't engage ground troops (the corsair doesnt either ) this is VERY important for a ww2 fighter plane addon..those are my only two..it handles really well

They prob couldn've used the pilot model from the F4U[...]

It does use the F4U pilots  

[Yoshiro 0]

Doesn't for me Sash.  I get regular pilots

::Edit:: oh yea and I"ve been having corsairs and p51's fight german captured p51's and some zero's all after noon.

Welcome to unfriendly skies!

What I see may be causing it is this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

// UserActions /////////////////////////////

class UserActions

{

class Opencanopy

{

displayName="Open Canopy";

position="osa_Canopy";

radius=2.500000;

condition="this animationPhase ""p51canopy"" < 0.5";

statement="[this] exec {\AIA_P51EM\opencanopy.sqs}";

};

class Closecanopy

{

displayName="Close Canopy";

position="osa_Canopy";

radius=2.500000;

condition="this animationPhase ""p51canopy"" >= 0.5";

statement="[this] exec {\AIA_P51EM\closecanopy.sqs}";

};

};

class CfgNonAIVehicles

{

class ProxyWeapon {};

class Proxycorttim : ProxyWeapon {model = "\AIA_P51EM\corttim.p3d"; simulation = "maverickweapon";}

class Proxycor25b : ProxyWeapon {model = "\AIA_P51EM\cor25b.p3d"; simulation ="maverickweapon";}

};

Right above the cfgnonaivehicles your cfgvehicles has not ended yet, and that cfgnonaivehicles wont work like that,its a seperate class definition

Another }; I think is needed above your cfgnonaivehicles, because as it stands it appears that it is using the corsair bomb proxies ,must be why people without the Corsair installed (i will hunt them down,lol) aren't seeing the bombs on the P51

On another note,it appears your proxies are the same name as the ones on the Corsair ,and it should have been named differently,luckily the weapon names are different, I think we may be ok, I am not sure

And great work Trenchfeet and AIA ,sorry I wasn't much help, seems Trenchfeet comes online after the time I have gone to bed. So cheers and obviously was a lot of hard work !

[Trenchfeet 0]

Thanks bratty i'll have a look as soon as i download the public release version

i'll add a short bit of text soon explaining all the features of the p51

[The Frenchman 0]

I really like the shells flying off the plane.

Offtopic: How is the Kaga coming along Bratty?

[Yoshiro 0]

Well with all these nice aircraft now, and Bratty's carrier, we need some ships with AA, I took the falklands carrier and added M-2's to the deck to simulate it so far for myself. But it's just not the same

Now that we have the cool planes, we wanna shot em down! LOL. And is it possible to have a flakgun where you could set the shells to explode at a set hight at low yeild?

[BraTTy 0]

I have some progress with the Kaga, I recently made a whole new deck for it and am working on the geometry already too.

But it gets better than that, AIA has 3 carriers that are near completion and I have offered help to finish those and they are very nice

Trenchfeet is my friend and I will also help him with what he needs, so peeps don't worry if you find any bugs ,I am sure any will be fixed

P51 is looking nice , any word on the German plane?

[Yoshiro 0]

Bratty that post just made my day hehe. Glad to see you guys working togeather to get these great addons out to us! Just don't forget to add some AA to those carriers! Oh yea and steal Trenchfeets (Or actually Bull's Eye on my Back's) multi gun script for the corsair when you can

[VXR 9]

Can't wait for AiA's Me-109s and Bratty's Zeros to get more of this.

hey look what i found on my HD

not from AiA btw

[Yoshiro 0]

Yours Vixer? Or what teams? Thats looking good.

The more the merrier, just hope all the makers talk with each other so they are somewhat ballanced and will engage each other well.

Cant tell who/(what team) made that one yet, in about 8 or 10 days more info will come. but thats enoug said , this is about AiA addons not other stuff, great work on the P51 btw

[Trenchfeet 0]

i'll try and answer someq's

CuteQA -> "I think the AI pilot abandon the plane to easily, is it possible to adjust it?" = No

reconmercs -> "this is a GREAT addon of a GREAAAT fighter. The one thing wrong I can tell is that there is no ww2 pilot to go with it. They prob couldn've used the pilot model from the F4U and also it doesn't engage ground troops (the corsair doesnt either ) this is VERY important for a ww2 fighter plane addon..those are my only two..it handles really well "

= There will be no pilot releases use the ww2ec 1's and my i suggest the marine pilot, (they are the best btw)

if any1 doesn't know how to do this, then just do this

insert p51 plane name it p51

insert pilot in the init field type

this moveindriver p51

i can suggest practice with the waypoints and behaviour to get both planes to engage ground troops

Yoshiro -> there will be some flack in the mission

Yoshiro -> h yea and steal Trenchfeets (Or actually Bull's Eye on my Back's) multi gun script for the corsair when you can

= can i help, wait it was ours but i will send it to him

Features of the P-51D

1 Empty gun cartridge - works when firing guns

2 Gun smoke - works when firing guns

3 6 Rockets (Unguided)

4 2 Bombs (Unguided)

5 2 Fuel Tanks

Can be Jettisoned anytime.

When jettisoned, fuel is set to 0.5 (half)

Auto Drop when fuel level reaches 0.5 tanks are dropped automatically

6 WEP (WAR EMERGENCY POWER)

Can be used unlimited number of times, if you use it, it gives a boost for a short time or to a speed of 400, however it uses a lot more fuel so it will reduce you’re fuel by -0.05. If you use it above 400 it can be “dangerous†it will still give you the short boost but if you reach a speed of 550 you will get the message overstress, and speed to fast you will also hear creaking and stress. If you remain above 550 for 10 seconds you will die because you’re wings have been ripped off or so.

7 Canopy can be opened at any speed below 230 it will close automatically at 231 (if you use the boost sometimes this is too quick for the script to handle) at a speed of 50 you will hear wind until the canopy is closed ( the wind sound is 9 sec’s long so the timing can be out sometimes)

8 Gear folds up down and you get green or dark red indicator lights

9 Add smoke script by typing

this exec “\aia_p51em\startsmoke.sqsâ€

It will make the fuel and hydrol lights work

(forgot to add in the readme )

this is only a few as i didn't have enough time to list the rest but i will soon

ps: re the other 109 i think we all will be in for a surprise soon with a m.^ r.l%a@e

Thnxs for the Info trench

Great addon....one problem.

Doesnt take off from runway properly with AI pilot.

Just about the time the rear wheel lifts off the ground,...it tries to take off, then makes a slight veer to the left, and takes some damage....then it eventually gets off the ground.

If you activate the smoke script...you will see it start smoking when it takes the damage on takeoff...then, it will continue smoking

Hi can you go to AIA forums -> Modwork Addons -> Bug Report -> P-51 Mustang.

With any bug reports in future it will make it easier fo me to track down bugs.

Also sign up/register incase i need to contact you.

I will put on hold the other 3 planes and put priority on the mustang's.

There will be a short bug list of comments at the forum that i have found if i've missed any please add them. I'll try and fix the most important.

Note ** test the bug on other planes or default ofp planes before u post (if Possible) [because i don't wan't to hear again that the planes takeoff wrong on custom islands, this is not a problem with the planes]

Also if you could suggest a fix to the bug/problem that would help

Thanks all

[Trenchfeet 0]

I've had that prob too madmedic so i think it might be due to the weight position of the plane? i'll take a look and c

Found the problem playing on regular old Malden.

Great addon! Just as good as the F4U! Only one thing all of you maybe noticed:

The pilot is sitting too high and too far to the right, so the gunsight is to the left and low. Some minor adjustment to the pilot's proxy and the gunsight should be centered to that white dot.

Another thing I noticed when engaged in a dogfight: The propeller blades make it damn hard to see what i'm shooting at. I don't get this problem with the Corsair. Maybe the propeller blades should be more transparent when spinning.

[Trenchfeet 0]

sorry madmedic didn't mean you

looking at it again it was kind of a poor example to use

[Trenchfeet 0]

is a pic on the prop thing (I know what you are say'n will check in to it)

the fp view is'nt realy ment to have the gun sight directly inlign with the pilot.

instead press (num) 0 or v for gunsight view
