I have no words to describe how epic this looks. Everything about this design is just beyond cool. I also noticed the landing gear is the same style used on Scrappy. :)
Anyways, tag me please! Also the first image or the 2nd to last image should be the thumbnail. That's also pretty genius how you mounted an EMS (Engine Monitoring System) screen on each side/upper corner of the cabin.

I've been planning on doing a virtual Reno Air Race in FSX for some time and while the default paint schemes for the P-51 are great, I'd like some additional textures. I already have my own texture I'll be making but "Hard Air" looks great and I knew I just had to add this to the list of textures to make for the P-51 in FSX, so there's more variety in air racers. Mine's is probably going to be something like "Blue Phantom".
@sebi032
Hey welcome back to SP, although I don't really recall you, and what is your "Aurora" again specifically? Are you talking about the SR-91 Aurora spyplane or something else named Aurora?
If you don't mind I might make this as a repaint for the default P-51D Mustang air racer in FSX. I really like this paint job/theme, and the nickname is pretty cool.
Dang this is really epic my dude! I really love the grainy photo at the end; Really adds to the aesthetics that this was a top secret plane. It's also much bigger then I thought it was!
@jamesPLANESii
Well nvm I was wrong on the Top Cub, it does indeed have a full cockpit but it's still FPS friendly for me. So is the Eagle and Deadstick. So I'd prefer it to be built along the build/detail style of those planes you made, except with your realistic flight dynamics and cockpit instrumentation. I'd also prefer the paint job parts to be completely separate from the main structure parts so the paint job could be totally removed.
@jamesPLANESii
Sweet, can't wait! :D Although if feasible, I'd really love it if you could make an FPS friendly version akin to your Draco or Top Cub builds but with two versions; one without a cockpit and has glass windows, and another with a working cockpit but not too crazy on details. And then after that one continue further on the build to make the highly realistic accurate version as well. I'd also like the realistic flight dynamics on all versions. ;)
@jamesPLANESii
Also, I have 2 airplane requests for you.
Piper Super Pacer 180 and literally any Maule.
The reason why I've come to love the Piper Pacer recently is because they are dirt cheap to buy and it has a host of STC mods available for it, and it's a very flexible airframe in the sense it can either be a speedy efficient cruising airplane or a STOL capable bushplane.
My "dream" set-up is a Piper Pacer with the following STC's/Mods:
Wing VG's
Wing extensions (or wing extensions with Madras drooped wing tips)
180HP Lycoming O-360
Pilot-side door
Duel seaplane doors with bubble-ish/bowed windows
Modernized panel
Roof skylight
Super Cub landing gear + large tundra tires
But I would absolutely love it if you made a Piper Pacer replica, even to your own specs. I also don't care if they are super detailed like the Cessna 180. In fact I'd prefer you don't make it super detailed so I can use it on my PC. Still give it a fully modeled cockpit, but also make a variant without a cockpit for even better FPS.
Literally having the same exact situation with the F-24 Warbler. Took less then a week to build the entire thing + cockpit, but it's taking me over a month now (and probably more) to refine the design further (which I guess is kind of a good thing) and slowly add all the more advanced features I want such as FBW, HMD, and working instrumentation on the flight displays.
@ACEPILOT109
I'm actually low-key doing that rn, although I'm trying to convert SP planes to FSX and possibly use SP to build the plane and then export the model to blender to refine & rig it for FSX and make fully-fledged freeware planes for FSX including a Sonex Onex, which will be my first proper addon plane.
Just some of my favorites I can think of at the top of my head:
Keiki Kobayashi
Meteor
Chris Tomlin
Lincoln Brewster
The Midnight
Mercy Me
Hans Zimmer
009 Sound System
5haus
Lost Years
O-Zone
Test Shot Starfish
Odysseus
FM-84
Daft Punk
Van Halen
Johnny Cash
John Denver
Kenny Loggins
Dave Rodgers
Petra
As you can clearly see, I have quite a "colorful" portfolio of favorite bands/artists.

Some "enhanced" Piper Pacer examples:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
5-9 basically has all the mods I like, and ironically it's a NZ-based Pacer.
I also found a website/company that owns the NZ Pacer and has a section of their website dedicated to it and includes all the mods they did to it, so you could use that as reference.

It also reminds me of the Murphy Moose but doesn't quite look like one.
