The Aviator Mod Team presents the Early Mustangs! This package includes the P-51A and Mustang Mk.I. It should work on both 4.09 and 4.10. For those who have the P-51A installed already please delete the P51A folder from your MODS folder before installing this. This version has some updates to the P-51A as well. DiffFM is no longer used, you must have 8.4 buttons or latter to run this mod.
The P-51A Mustang was ordered in numbers of 1,200 by the U.S. Army in August 1942. No ground attack here, no dive brakes, just a pure fighter. This was the best fighter the U.S. had below 22,000 feet. This first variant of the famous P-51 Mustang encorporated an Allison V-12 engine which had a single stage supercharger. This meant that at high altitudes it suffered from a lack of power. However it had exceptional performance at low altitude compared to other fighters of it's time.
This mod has really been a team effort with everyone chipping in for little bits here and there so many thanks to all those involved. I know you guys will ask about this so I shall state now that several other versions will also be made and for those who are interested they are: Mustang MkIa and A-36A Apache.
