Due to the actions of Flightsim.To's management, I am withdrawing my products from distribution on this platform.

After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him.
When not piloting his F/A-18E Super Hornet, he can be found in the skies with his Mustang LG-W.
With the constant delays of the release of Top Gun: Maverick, its actually surprising that more hasn’t leaked about it.
I stumbled across an interesting tid-bit after Matchbox and Airfix both released licensed models of a P-51 but branded with the upcoming movie. I dug around a bit and discovered that a P-51 will apparently feature in the film, so I decided to see what I can do to recreate it.
The Super Hornet livery featured in some of the screenshots is by venom0 and can be found at https://flightsim.to/file/24087/top-gun-maverick-msfs-f-a-18e-super-hornet-repaint
This livery is for the P-51D included with the Base Reno expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Two Packages are available for you to choose:
The Main package includes a self installation executable. The alternate package is a installerless zip file. They are labelled accordingly. Only download the one you wish to use.

***NOTAM***
If you attempt to use this with any of the Ultimate Class P-51's, it is not supported and not garunteed to work. The models and texture formats are different. Support will not be provided.

Seems like that it does not work with P-51D Manowar without editing files.
However I havent yet figured out what exactly should I edit.
Should file aircraft.cfg edited to contain
base_container = "..\Microsoft_P51D_Reno_ManOWar"
or something else?

As it clearly states in the description, this livery is designed for use with the P-51D included with the Base Reno expansion. The package prerequisites include a requirement that this pack be installed.
If you are attempting to use it with other P-51D's, I will not provide support as the model texture files are named differently and the actual models are mapped differently so results can not be guaranteed.

Nice job replicating a restored warbird. It would be cool to see an authentic WWII scheme sometime.

Note this P-51K is actually owned by Tom Cruise. So you can either roleplay Navy fighter pilot, or Hollywood actor, when flying.

Tom Cruise actually owns and flies that P-51 in reality, having purchased it back in 2001. The airframe itself was originally built as an F-6K Mustang (the photo-recon variant of the P-51K), and its USAAF serial number is 44-12840. It is registered as N51EW. Prior to Cruise acquiring it, it had been restored and named "Montana Miss". When Cruise purchased it, he had that name and nose art removed. When he dated and then married Katie Holmes, he had the name "Kiss Me Kate" applied to the nose, but that was later removed after they divorced. Although he used to keep it based at Van Nuys with Matt Jackson, lately it has been kept at the Chino Airport in Chino, California, where it is cared for by Steve Hinton Jr.

I have bought alone P-51D (microsoft-aircraft-p51d-reno-weewillyii) I have modified several files of your addon. That's works well enough but there is a problem with texture.cfg at the level of fuselage. Have you a solution when somebody buy only one aircraft and not the full package of Reno P-51D

Glad you like it. I was under the impression that to purchase even one of the stand alone P-51's, you still had to have the base Reno pack, hence why I release for the base common model.
No matter, you would have to look at the texture.cfg in the Wee Willy texture folder and add any lines present there to the one I provide.
Caution, as this refers to the base Reno model your mileage may vary when using non-Reno Base Pack P-51 models.

Great find and great livery. Glad to finally have a WW2 themed livery for my stock Reno P-51D.
Thank you very much.
