I'll have to reload the tuskegee paint, I just adjusted the color to look a bit more realistic.

I see this only now.
For a proper Tuskegee, you'll need to get rid of the killmarks, the QPN registration and the serial and apply the proper registration. Also, I don't think they ever flew camouflaged P-51's, so you'll need to go for natural metal. They carried no serials on those red tails, so you can leave that out.
Again, sorry to be so critical...

I don't see you as being overly critical. You are providing useful information that most of us, me first of all, most likely did not know. Historical accuracy is king, you know...

My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 850W modular p/s, 7 x 120mm fans, Windows XP Home and SP3, 2 x 250Gb Western Digital SATA-300 HDs (1 for apps, 1 for storage and precious files backup), CoolerMaster CM 690 case, NOD-32. Won't run FSX. Locks up a lot with FS9, too.
