Expansion for P51? Aka Trainer/twin seater. would be keen!

Post by Busty_Bomber »

Could there be a possibility to introduce a trainer variant for the P51 civilian? There are variants with two seats that exist. They currently do joy flight, training of all sorts, acrobatics. etc. That would be an excellent addition. You would then sit in the back and your trainee or co-pilot would take the front seat just like on the T-6 texan or Piper cub. There are a few examples with each using a custom cockpit, such as.

Reference for this expansion goes to a P51 by the name of Betty Jane.

But the cockpit cover on this one for example "p51 wee willy" remained the same as the single seat version but just expanded.

This however is a reference to the military variant, that two can do with this expansion

I think that would be cool.

However, on the Betty Jane note - a B/C model would be pretty awesome too.

That would be cool only if it was a true TF-51, rather than the D model with a back seat in place of the fuselage tank that DCS calls a TF-51... and then of course we’d need Heidi as well :mrgreen:
