Digital Simulator P-51D Mustang DCS: P-51D MUSTANG Flight Manual Dear User, Thank you for your purchase of DCS: P-51D Mustang! DCS: P-51D is a simulation of the legendary American World War II fighter, the P-51 Mustang, and is the third installment in the Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) series of PC combat simulations. Like previous DCS titles, DCS: P-51D features a painstakingly reproduced model of the aircraft, including the external model and cockpit, as well as all of the mechanical systems and aerodynamic properties. At the same time, DCS: P-51D offers an entirely new experience in the DCS world by placing you behind the controls of a powerful, propeller-driven, piston engine combat aircraft. Designed long before “fly-by-wire” technology was available to assist the pilot in flight control or smart bombs and beyond visual range missiles were developed to engage targets with precision from afar, the Mustang is a personal and exhilarating challenge to master. As elegant as it is powerful, the P-51 unites man and machine in the magic of flight and the deadly force of combat aviation. As operators of one of the largest collections of restored World War II aircraft, we at The Fighter Collection and the development team at Eagle Dynamics were fortunate to be able to take advantage of our own actual P-51D and its pilots to ensure the DCS model is one of the most accurate virtual reproductions of this aircraft ever made. Combined with volumes of outside research and documentation, the field trips to the TFC hangar and countless consultations and tests by TFC pilots were invaluable in the creation of this simulation. The contents of this manual are based largely on actual vintage P-51D manuals of the aircraft’s service era. With homage to the brave pilots of World War-II, we hope you enjoy taking this true Flying Legend to the skies and into the fight!
