I'd jump in a FW190 or P51 like a shot if I had easy access to em ;) All I've managed is a Spit XVIII and English Electric Lightning. The spit isn't actually bolt upright as many assume. Though because the owner was rather short the pedals were so far back my knees were around my ears the top bar of the pedals was roughly level with the seat base. I wonder if ED could share their data on how they figure out the differences in G tolerance. Would be interesting!

That was from January this year.... IIRC things were a lot quieter on the Mirage front back then.

I'm gonna start a petition for Bader-isation of all Fighter Command pilots to try and compensate for this design shortcoming of the human body! It will be a simple field modification to the pilot. Chloroform and a hacksaw is all thats needed. I actually love the idea of realistically different G limits for different aircraft. It adds another dynamic to combat.

Hmmm looking at the poll everyone keeps misclicking on the poll! I'm sure its just the shaking brought on by reading the words "English Electric Lightning" that are causing the low number of votes for it.

Agreed a supersabre would be nice! Though If we are talking US aircraft used in European air forces we can't overlook the F-104!

We share similar tastes! Though I'd argue the Draken is more than a mere curio! It's almost as awesome as the Lightning!

Good to know that things are moving forward!

I really want to see every era catered for in DCS. Yes there are other sims but they dont have the same depth of modelling as DCS. I'm yet to play a WW1 sim that gives you a feel of how tricky operatingva real rotary engine would be... I think DCS has the potential to model it properly.

Wait, what? An engine can be too big?

Just watched the video. It really does look good!

Gonna pre-purchase this one! Might even learn a bit of french to get in character.

Tunnan is beautiful! And i'm not a swede ;) This thread really is interesting! Peoples tastes are so varied!

Thats a lot of fuel! Wish stores had collision and damage mosels! Imagine hitting one of those tanks with a 20mm incendiary....

Both Slaw and MFG ship internationally. They are significntly more expensive than saiteks but they are the last pedals you will ever buy.

In the absence of an upkeep equipped lancaster.... Mig21 + RN-24

Yup IIRC. Would be nice if it could be simulated!

The FFB2 only has two weaknessed in my opinion. Button count and twist rudder resolution. Both can be fixed with a USB joystick board from Leo Bodnar. You can use it to support extra buttons added to the stick and rewire the rudder potentiometer to it for much MUCH higher resolution!

Me... I see you 4000lb HC and raise you a 22000lb MC "Grand Slam"

Whats your budget? Personally I'd buy a used MS FFB2 over anything by saitek Warthogs set the standard in joysticks IMO but I'd want an extension too.

I really need to order my ticket!

Ditto. I'm hoping for the full range of early jet problems. Flamout, snaking, extremely slow throttle response and sensitivity to EGT etc. What will be especially interesting to me is the 262 vs Meteor F.3 if VEAO and ED get both out at a similar time. 262 should roll faster. Out run and out dive the meatbox but the meteor should out turn, climb and accelerate. Gonna be great!

Brilliant idea. Hopefully be part of the atc improvements in 2.0..

Very fast work!

It will be FAR more capable than the mig-21 tbh.

Looks really rather good!
