its actually the airflow over the oil cooler, i have looked into this and the result was that the sound could not be added due to game limitations...

I'll need to dig up the source but I read somewhere about a P-51 owner who taped over the gun ports on his aircraft. The 'howl' or whistle was muted or significantly reduced enough to confirm that it was indeed the gun ports.

ahh, the game of cat and mouse begins , ok, i have frequented many airshows and even spoke to one of the pilots, they all said the same thing, it was the scoop under the frame that created the sound, and to confirm this i will also post here , when i find the relevant documentation, the links :wink:

p.s. if it was the gunports, would it not be the case that more planes would make the same howel ?
