Where would you get the idea of it's comparitively simple systems. It has one of the most integrated systems of any aircraft flying today. It is extremely complex. I would check out the internet and you will see from what has been released to the public, How complex this aircraft really is.:book: Cheers. rattler

"Well if the truth hurts". another quip. It is true Ed has not produced anything beyond a Beta. The gentleman was correct. I really don't care what Projects are on their plate. Glad to see they do though. It would be nice to see them finish one before jumping all over the place. People here waiting for FC3 since FC2 for one and I am not going to start a list cause most of us know it by heart. Their ideas are stellar but finish something. I am glad they have a Vision and support that but please finish a product before jumping to the next. Hoping. rattler

Correct and as it should be.:thumbup:

I really hope you are not serious. Do think ACES or IRIS or A2A or Milviz or anyone who does 3rd party add ons get prior permission on what their Company is going to produce for MSFS.(in the day). Gees where would we be today if that happened. I apologies if I come on to strong here but there is a limit to Control. ED can certainly refuse any offering they get, as it should be. If it is something special and the Company wants to feel out ED in advance well there is nothing wrong with that. ED in a way does have Total Control, in that they can accept or reject any offer for a Modual. Telling a Company that they can't do a specific model as a Module.That type of Total Control,no,no my friend. I certainly can't speak for anyone but myself but if I had a company and someone wanted to enhance my product under 3rd party conditions, well, let's say it would not be a wise move on my part if I reject because, well there is no because if it will enhance the product to my standard.:huh: rattler

NP, you did an excellent job on the video, nice effects etc. I did really enjoy watching it. But your right I am one of those sim-nuts.:D You guys always do nice videos. Cheers guys, I did enjoy it and as a matter of fact, going to watch it again. Love the old picture technique. Cheers. rattler

Nothing new, would have liked to see more of the cockpit and I am missing that beautiful whistle that engine makes! Nice Production though, enjoyed watching. Excellent. Want to see more of the P-51, hope you can Produce another with greater cockpit detail. Love the walking pilot. Cool eyecandy. Nothing wrong with some eyecandy. rattler

I would like to give you more info on the VRA but I don't fly it yet. I do fly the F18, There is info out there on the web about TacPack and would really help in showing you what A2A is working towards. VRA is my next aircraft. Been looking at A2A and DCS P-51D and the VRA, my decision is the VRA based on information I have gathered over the web and talking to VRA pilots. Can't wait for her to arrive. It is important to read up on the VRA as it will hit your FPS By 5 - 10 FPS. This is the only con I could come up with.:thumbup: Cheers. rattler

Yes, totally agree. The only thing is we may not see it for some time. Their aircraft are works of art and precision. IRIS is a good start so maybe this will help to bringing others to DCS-World. Hope so.

Start of Combat simulation for FSX, 'VRA TacPack', then expansion to all 3rd parties who want to use it for their war birds. May take some time but Combat is coming to FSX.

TacPack will only be for the VRA F-18E/F as has been stated by A2A. I do believe that they will look at it for the piston warbird types in time but from what I have read TacPack is for VRA only and you must have VRA to get TacPack. Cheers.

Air_Wolf, is the TacPack out yet from Beta? could not find a reference to it. If it is, lead me to it PLEASWEEE. Thanks. Rattler

I have been outspoken on this forum for many years,lol no comment moderators. hee. hee I have to say with the production of DCS-World, ED has finally got my favorable attention. This is the road I have wanted ED to take for a long time and I congratulate you and your planners. Keep up the excellent work on DCS-World and I am wishing you every success which I am sure you will achieve.:thumbup: Rattler

I have to admit after windows7x64, windows8 is nothing but a big mistake. How can you do so well finally and then take two steps backwards. I jumped over Vysta and I will now jump over windows8, in the hope windows 9 works and exceeds windows7x64. Big disappointment. Rattler

You can't compare DCS P-51D yet, it is still a Beta version and early in it's development. That said it is looking promising.

Anyone think of trying Active Sky Evolution for your weather. It's awesome.

Nate, thanks for the link, I will do that as I was not aware of it. Cheers,appreciated.

well I think everyone has to tweak FSX to get it running smooth. It can run smooth. I have a middle of the road system and I can run pretty much maxed on the settings. However the FSX.CFG file has to be tweaked and unfortunately or fortunately however you want to look at it, a couple of add ons with their settings makes FSX come alive for most computers. they give better grapics and weather themes, compared to the defaults. DCS will probably get around to better ground graphics but right now I think they are looking and working in other areas. FSX is a Flight Sim. so Graphics was a bigger priority than it would be for a Combat Sim. However DCS is not as bad as the lockon series.

Sorry Viper, truely am. You seem to have a wealth of knowledge when questions are asked on this forum. I apologize to you for making an assumption. You still are a wealth of knowledge however you came across it. If I had known for a sec. that you only fly the Lockon/DCS series and have not looked into the others, I would have given you all the information you needed. Tis, true that the FSX deluxe needs a little help for sure and if you were interested, I could have put you in touch with a person with a wealth of knowledge on FSX. Please accept my apology. You can get FSX working well with some tweaks to the FSX.CFG file and it will fly the P-51D just fine. That said if you would like the nice Environment it can fly in then yes you have to purchase some add ons for ground texture and weather features. After that it is up to you how far you would like to take FSX and yes it does mean more purchases. i would say about 4 add ons would give you a sweat look.

Hi Guy's : From information gathered form other users of FSX deluxe with or without acceleration pack, the environment we fly in needs or should I say looks better with a combination of add ons, as you probably are aware. I use GEX, UTX Canada,REX+ overdrive and ASE. GEX and UTX for ground, REX+overdrive for roads,clouds etc. and ASE for weather. This gives me an environment pretty much to what I would expect to find. That said, other products used in combination do the exact same. From what I have been told and have read about, this seems to be the case. Some prefer to use different software to achieve the same goals. Now mind you I am new at FSX but not Flight Sims. Hope this helps.

Page 11 has a link to purchase accu-sim P-51D. You can't tell me a man such as viper who has been flight simming for god knows how long does not know the answer to his own questions. This is trolling. I am sorry, if this was someone new to flight simming, he would get all the information needed to acquire FSX and or any other add on to FSX he would require. Viper is a vet. to flight simming and probably knows more than most of us, not just ED/DCS. I am quite sure he knows all about FSX, X-Plane and many other sims and how to get them. Just as you just showed how you knew where to go for the information. Do as you wish. This is childlish.

Ok, I stand corrected. I just thought seeing as one does not have DCS when you purchase DCS-A10 you also purchase the DCS core, which would be in the price. If DCS core is free then ED/TFC with their series is very reasonable in price. Thanks for the info, I did not know that. Appreciated HiJack.

That was the point to vipers question. If you don't have FSX then you purchase, if you don't have the P-51D add on then you purchase, same for DCS with some slight differences, one of which is you don't have to keep buying FSX Core for each add on.

Sure, purchase FSX and install then purchase P-51D and install no problem.

You don't have FSX and the P-51D is an add on to FSX. Two different worlds. What would I have to do if I didn't have any DCS and wanted the A-10. I guess the costs would be similar.

ARM505: Nice write up, if you discover more please update. cheers and thanks.
