I realize that the P-51 CoG was moved but,

From my understanding if you select under 75% fuel the shifted CoG is what you will have .. This was from some people who worked on the P-51 FMs in HSFX.. The source told me 6that in that respect they changed nothing from the stock AC.

Try it.. fly a P-51 with 100% fuel and one with 50% fuel and you will notice the difference.

That IS interesting... I've never heard of that being a FM feature but it could very well be the case.

I will definitely corroborate the second part of this and that is that at 50% or less that the Mustang is much easier to handle. All of the people who take it for a 5 minute dogfight jaunt at 100% fuel are handicapping themselves big time.

Guilty. Put the cuffs on.

That's why I always take 50% fuel or less for any QMB mission. It doesn't take that long and arguably it's "realistic" since QMB missions start in the air, presumably after the planes have been patrolling for a while.
