I thought I was downloading the P-51D Mustang for my FSX program. The file name is
FSX P-51D version 1 1 zip, and the directions say to put it into the FS2004 version. I don't have that version—will this file still work? -
Finally, a P51 that does not pull to the left on takeoff. This beats the stock FSX P51's hands down! This has solved the "pull to the left" FSX P51's.
