Thanks for the screenshot. The only thing I now need is the actual product and a pair of rudder pedals.. :-)

Interesting reading. Thanks for putting this together. Would love to hear how the simulation engine handles all of this. Possibly a teeny-weenie video to go along with that :-) Good luck with developing this product. I'll buy it for sure... development notes or not!

Ah, I see... you're an expert. Send your accident rep. to the russian aviation authorities and save them the time... Ah!... another expert! I guess I (and thousands of passengers) escaped certain death when I was that young. IDIOTS...

ROFL. +100 internetz for you! ;)

Guys, It's a preview... According to many sources it is possible to switch back to the 'classic' desktop. I for one would love an OS to rule all the of the different devices... tablet, PC and phone. No issues with synching, everything in the same place and a UI that is consistent. The first iteration might be a little bit iffy but it's definitely the way forward...

It's not the F-18. It's wings can be folded and ED admitted it'll be fixed wing fighter. Hence: F-16. DISCUSS! :)

It's pure speculation at this point but maybe they'd like to wait -after- the introduction of EDGE. Having an incremental fix now when it's almost a given that new issues will crop up with the new terrain engine is a 'wasted' effort. Get 'everything' done in one fell swoop sorta thing... Then again... I know nothing... I'm from Barcelona...

This post made me laugh... and I've had a pretty crappy day. :)

As per T.O. A-10A 1. control yaw 2. throttles-MAX 3. gear-up 4. stores-jettison 5. safe alt. and airspeed above 150 flaps-up I'd assume the proc. is the same for the C-model. There's a good reason to do it in this order...

Look, I'm not making this up. ASUS themselves acknowledged the problem. Google it if you're truly interested (or check the link provided in an earlier post)...

No... I've seen it happen without touching anything. It's a known issue with this laptop.

To elaborate a little further... I can't get the color right. Flesh tones are off and I even tried calibrating with a 'spider'. It's calibrated alright... As far as performance goes, I can't complain too much... it's a laptop after all. I don't like the fact that it is throttling back the clockspeed to conserve battery power. Mine is always plugged into a wallsocket. DCS:WH and SB Pro work fine although I'd expect it does better on a desktop of a similar spec. One very annoying 'feature' is that the cursor sometimes jumps back a few words. If you're typing without paying too much attention to the screen, you end up with a completely incoherent piece of text. ASUS has acknowledged the problem and updated the BIOS. For some it alleviated some of the problems. I haven't flashed mine yet because I intend to reinstall the whole thing. I bought it a couple of months ago and haven't had time to do it yet. Again... not all the issues are resolved with the new BIOS. I,d stay well clear of it. No more soup for ASUS! Anyway... hope it helps to clarify a few things. Good luck with your quest. One piece of advice... you get what you pay for. Good things usually don't come cheap. I was fooled this time around.

for any issues regarding ASUS G74. http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?3076-G74SX-Keyboard-Issues-ATK-1.0.00010-BIOS-202-Available-(SOLVED)/page12 I meant LCD.... getting to old for this s.... :-)

I'd advise against the ASUS. I own the G74. There are keyboard and mousepad issues which are well documented. There is a BIOS update available which may or may not resolve -some issues. For instance... the keypad is not really a keypad.. i.e. no view keys for DCS. I find the CRT screen also lacking in color accuracy. Looks nice on paper but I wish I'd chosen a different brand...

Man, that was truly funny. You should be a stand-up comedian :-)

What seems to be getting lost here is the intent of ED. P-51 "for demonstration purposes" does not mean lo fidelity or a one-off product. Hopefully this product (P-51) will spin off into a completely different era of aerial warfare (including appropriate terrain and opposition). Maybe(!) we'll get a Korea or Vietnam type simulation along the way as well. I'm not privy to ED's business plan but I would welcome many (professional) developers as 3d party contributors and build on the framework that is the DCS engine. I can't wait to fork over my $50 or whatever to play P-51D. It's not like we're drowning in flightsims anyway... Cheer up people!

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=36421&page=6 It's a mod you might want to check-out..

Couldn't gave said it any better. It boggles the mind what went through his brain... Anyway, probably a good idea to lock this thread up or delete it altogether. Embarrassing...

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about... or choose to act silly.

Although important, I'm not sure it would've prevented this accident. Complacency, more than anything is the killer these days. Automation, reliability and lack of system transparency all contribute to a gradual erosion of skills. Both Boeing and Airbus are at 'fault' here (as do many others) Having said that... I find it amazing that one doesn't recognize a stall and take corrective action. Then again... I will never say it won't happen to me....

Leader, Check PM.

Leafer, It's the festive season so here goes... I'll buy you a copy and have it shipped to you. When you do get it, wire me the $39.99 and we'll call it even. PM me for details! :)

I understand that its a lot of money for a some people but come on... it really is worth twice that amount... at least. It doesn't get more hardcore than this. My laptop got stolen... and with it my codemeter stick. Yet I'm going to get another license!

I suppose you're assuming it won't shoot bullets or rockets? Maybe, maybe not... Any flyable is good, propeller or jet. It'll be interesting to see how they're going to make it an entertaining experience though. Without anything to shoot at it'll be rather boring for some of us. It's like flying a combat aircraft in FSX. It may even evolve into a full-fledged WWII flight-simulation many years down the road. Who knows? Certainly goes along with how ED is doing development. 'Baby-steps' is a good thing! Personally, I'd be happy to perform touch and goes at Batumi and doing 'airshows' over Tblisi for now. More players into the DCS world (i.e. FSX/Xplane players) means more 'dollars' for ED. There's definitely a market for WWII prop-enthusiasts. Vote with your wallet and purchase DCS:Flying Legends so that you can get your 'simulation-fix' 10 years from now. This post doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I'm going to post it anyway. Took me a long time to type it :)

Great news. I'll buy each and every one of the modules... including FC3 (which, to be honest, I'm not terribly interested in) and the Nevade update (even though I can get it for free since I've been playing A-10C since Beta1). You guys deserve all the support you can get! Thanks ED/TFC
