DCS WORLD 2.7 | P-51D Start up, Taxi, Takeoff and Engine Management

In this DCS Wolrd tutorial, I demonstrate the Startup, Taxi, and Takeoff of the P-51D Mustang. With the new clouds system, there has never been a better time to get a warbird in DCS. This one is iconic.
Our Dynamic Warbird mission is in progress, come join the group and fly it with us when it's ready.

Great tutorial! A proper warmup is usually required for these birds so you might want to do that before T/O to prevent engine failure.

[@The_Tau]

Great Vid! Just quick reminder that on right side of cockpit on wall there is a small metal plate with engine settings, like a cheat sheet. So you don't have to actually memorise all those numbers, its written on the side

[@JamesTyranski]

Just got the P51D myself as my first warbird, since I've enjoyed flying the TF-51. Excellent video and I learned something about the engine management. Wondered why my engine would keep breaking after 15 min, lol. Now I know.

[@bigtroglodyte]

Dont forget to switch tanks after flying for a while too unlike the p-47 the p-51 has two main fuel tanks so you’ll want to be checking both tanks (the gauges for this are on the floor) and keep them the same if you dont want to be trimming rudder all the time

[@notarokescientist3003]

I rely on these videos to get me started and trained in the warbirds. Thanks

[@TacticalPascale]

You are most welcome. I love the warbirds. The P-47 has well overtaken the Spit as my favourite.

[@brandodurham]

Nice! You should pull manifold back before prop though so as to not overload it

[@Aolen75]

You may want to bind , Radiator oil open and radiator oil auto. Then you can control the temps better. If it gets too hot ,open radiator the when the needle is back in the green you just click radiator auto again.

[@yort92-gaming]

Very nice! I've had the P-51D for a while, but can't say I've actually studied it all that much. Now may be the time!

[@bird.9346]

I will add that pulling back on the stick locks the tailwheel and pushing forward unlocks it

[@Snowy57]

This is helpful. Thank you very much.

[@terryteed1903]

Prop pitch should never come behind your throttle. This causes detonation in the engine and will stuff you right up.

[@JamesTyranski]

Good tip to know, thanks.

[@redwatch1100]

Ive been using this plane a lot lately.

[@kujinu]

nice intro and very helpful tutorial

Grass field, eh? Did the crew load up the guns and camera?

Off work for a few weeks, lots of free time :)

[@astralnut6313]

I've had the P51 for awhile and for some reason forgot the to turn the mags on. Had me stumped for days.

[@chrismcintosh6019]

can i get a link to this song i was just groovin' to the tunes. God I love the 40's era music and technology!

[@maydaygaming3953]

Thnx

[@cally0138]

Great intro and tutorial ;)

[@christopherwhitwam3924]

Where is the tail wheel lock in the taxi tutorial and the WEP setting for engine management?

[@matszz]

Right brake left brake, great, that's what I came here for, so how did you do that?

[@TacticalPascale]

By pressing the pedal/keybind that you assign to those controls.

[@guyfawkes3883]

whats about the trim set?

[@matszz]

Video starts at 1:05

[@TacticalPascale]

Nope it starts at 0:00

[@matszz]

@@TacticalPascale For you it does, because you made it. For anyone else looking for useful information, it starts at 1:05.

[@TacticalPascale]

Heaven forbid a creator makes something for themselves to enjoy making eh. Oh well, thanks for watching anyway.

[@matszz]

@@TacticalPascale That's fine, but it's also fine that I give a time stamp to help others.

[@TacticalPascale]

I will get round to “chaptering” my older videos

[@ColonelAkirNakesh]

Do you ever and when would you use War Emergency power?

[@TacticalPascale]

All the time in quick bursts

[@daviddobson1056]

Hi, I’m busy with the basic P51 navigation campaign and I’m struggling to get above 13,000 feet! Any advice appreciated. Cheers

[@igorkratka]

Read the Flight manual.

[@teggy689]

The chucks guide says 2 degrees nose heavy? Is that a misprint?

[@TacticalPascale]

Probably not, Chuck is a legend

[@teggy689]

@@TacticalPascale **edit** just read the actual P51 manual from 1945 and it says 2 degrees nose heavy!

Muy Bueno una Pregunta y Disculpa yo estoy descargando el DCS 2.7 de la pagina me compre el 109 pero como lo puedo pasar a otra maquina que no tengo internet es que la descarga es pesada copio todo el Directorio y lo pego en la maquina que lo quiero poner saludos un abrazo y mil gracias

[@TacticalPascale]

lo siento, no sé cómo lo transferirías porque necesitas activarlo en línea

[@johngisbourne7197]

generator on after starting the engine.

[@RTSchramm]

It didn't work for me. The nose pitches up violently as soon as the plane becomes airborne; I'm assuming that you keep the stick level at 100 mph and let the plane takeoff by itself.

[@neilharrah7365]

That’s what he did in the video lol he said “releasing back pressure” and centered the stick to let the tail come off the ground. Then you slowly pull back to lift off

[@TacticalPascale]

Pull back. Release pressure at 80mph, apply gently back pressure at 120-140 easy peasy.

[@redwatch1100]

Dont takeoff with full throttle and make sure you add in 5 notches of right rudder trim. It takes some practice but it gets easier.

[@Bryster51]

Rudder trim needs adjusting, look at the ball....

[@anthonieneveling6435]

Great music for a startup! IM'e gonna get one asap! 😁

[@friedbananadoesgames]

where are the brakes

[@RuyGuy]

You didn't even use rudders, no wonder you think it's easy.

[@TacticalPascale]

I assure you I use rudder when I need it.

[@jasonrusso9808]

Some fake music in the tradition of the very real King of Swing Benny Goodman. I hate when they try too hard with the fake music. Who composed this abomination....
