So tell me, how were these real aircraft.. and how do compare in a sim, and against other sim aircraft... Could you give us a objective comparison, as well as a subjective one ? :-)

There's a funny thing about simulations.. and it sounds similar to IL2 wrt to modelling.... when people started complaining that it 'was not right'.. Here we go again with DCS.. :-)

It would be interesting to update this ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/k5l6fbjmzzl0l4i/fwtwo.avi 67MB P51 formation flying.. :-)

.. and for a reality check !!

Ahemm!!... cough cough.. well this can only have positive spin-offs for DCS, wrt to WW2 era stuff, resulting in more a/c and faster 'launch' times. I'm not sure about Luthier though.. maybe he was left with a hot CLOD potato.. maybe he'll shine in DCS. Otherwise.. I'm happy with the news. :-)

There's a simple equation here - get it right or simply - cheers. I'm a very knowledgeable paying 'pilot'/customer and I expect you to deliver on your sales pitch/product. Don't give me [...] or excuses, give me a working product within expectations that I paid for... otherwise [...] You work it out : - )

I saw this coming as you deleted your post... :-) But non-the-less. Do I really have to.. go though this all again.

One thing learn't from yonks ago (pre-DCS)... every bogey is hostile until proven otherwise!

Another inconvenient scenario https://www.dropbox.com/s/r80vuemb64bnoff/MadW03.wmv :-)

With all being said and dusted..... This what I expect from a DCS FW190... These scenarios required precise flying with all controls, by no means... The normal speed version https://www.dropbox.com/s/01gjg61zb5epctr/FWHighWay.avi The slowmo version https://www.dropbox.com/s/odfb1q3qbs47s21/FW190Dancer.avi

That being said... and the FW historically being able to handle damage... maybe the P51 gun focus should be adjustable... Just to stir things up a bit :-)

True... :-)

Ah!.. thanks.. now I'm getting the development picture. Starting to make more sense now... cool

I'm new to the letters.. SFM, AFM - could you elaborate on this.. thanks

Sounds good.. Testing is in the pudding. Lets hope that change the FW190 AI routine to use it advantages.. :-)

No collective data from pilot reports ?

It'll be interesting to know where DCS developers base all their WW2 aircraft data from.. would this be an open book ?

When was the last time you played IL2.. I have Il2 V412.. and DCS124 and play them both for the same and different reasons. If you haven't done this already, you should do so... then you'll understand where I come from. Not trolling.. just not backing down when a so called 'expert' tries to run me down.

It's most probably UBI's hand that made this so... where as DCS looks independent of such interferences. IL2 raised the bar wrt prop sims in 2000.. DCS, AFAIK, was nowhere to be seen. DCS is the next step.. but like everything wrt to games/sims.. DCS started out as a modern day sim, now trying to tap the WW2 market. If they're wise (including yours truly) I'd look at the last best WW2 sim and learn the lessons.. instead of sticking my head in the sand. :-)

Agreed... DCS and IL2 teaches you how to fly, and then fly in combat.

Move ahead a few years.. and tell me this about DCS....!!

Not that it's relevant to this topic.. Older medicinal methods are gaining ground on modern medicines as 'bugs' become more resistant to anti-biotics. Newer medicines are not always tomorrow's answer (without killing off your immune system). Somethings from the 'older' are always better.... :-)

I know where this is going.... :-) Now that is downright snobbery... and I wouldn't be too hasty to say this as IL2 was more advanced in it's time than all WW2 combat flight sims. Maybe the same can be said for DCS at the moment.. until some other better sim appears that corrects DCS mistakes and lackings. Leather is a bit tough to chew on... :-)
