This plane is one of the very few civil schemes that I have seen in a Mustang, and had four diferent paintings; the original one; which I have no pictures so I couldn't make, one black and red (December 1958), the another similar but with golden borders (year 2002), and the fourth is not included here: this plane was restored and participated in the Keesler AFB Airshow on the year 2004, painted in military colors with the registration U-CY.
About the panel: It must have changed. I'm supposing that the owner included a GPS and made some improvements; there was a company specialiced in civilian Mustangs. So I chosed to assign the panel to the default Extra 300. If you want to install the original WWII panel, download any other of the Mustangs I have repainted and copy the panel folder. Or, feel free to download any other civil Mustang panel and asign it.
About the ground handling: you must use the pedals (or the ruder keys) to turn the plane. To move the joke dosn't works.

Warranty:
I love the warranty wrote by Andrew W. Hall:
"None. Zip. Nada. Use at your own risk. I dont think
this will harm your computer in any way, but if it does, I
dont even want to hear about it."
A last remark: Why don't become a repainter? There are a lot of planes with special markings. I'm tired of the usual F-16 low-vis scheme, or the usual 757 in Delta markings. Why don't a "Bat's outa Hell's" B-25 or a serie of Qantas 737s? The plane modelers like Andrew C Wai are very important, but they can't make all the painting schemes by himselfs. So why don't help him and his friends?
INSTALLATION:
Just unzip p51dah46.zip in your "Aircraft" folder of FS2002, FS2004 or FS9 (make sure "use folder names" is checked).
