Congratulations!
This is a really good looking and very detailed aircraft. Though it's unusable on not close to high-end systems. It's cutting FG's frame rate to 10 to 15 fps where it normally has more than 30. Even worse, it not even has a downgraded version in AI/Aircraft. If some other pilot shows up on MP with the p51d my FG suffers from the worst lags ever, making it completely unusable.

What the frell!? FG is a simulator which renders the scene in real-time not an animated 3D movie which has 25 times the time to calculate rendering. I am not able to comment on the fdm. Even though it might be good, any fdm goes bad at that frame rate.

Calm down! Hal V. Engel made several announcements about the heaviness of this aircraft. And compared with other aircraft like 777, computer perfomance is even equal.
Compared with commercial sims like X-Plane and FSFX vertice numbers and details are even in a similar range. Nethertheless, some optimations is always appreciated.
What are your computer specs?
