vparez Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 This plane in DCS is equivalent to going to McDowell's to buy a veggie burger. That being said, I bought it simply because I can afford it and I want to support one of the best 3rd party teams in this game. I hope you guys will continue doing the grill now that you have this out of your system. Best wishes!
draconus Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 So, after all this arguments "if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it, why do you care?" and BANG! +2GB up my DCS\CoreMods folder. How do you feel about that? 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
RePhil Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 No guns no bombs no fancy smachy istruments you learn to fly get good then the war birds and jets will be a snap to fly. After all all military pilots first learn basic flight and master the basics of aerobatic flight in a prop job first.

TX-EcoDragon Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Fine looking passenger you’ve got there EcoDragon! Mine in a single-hole so no such opportunities. EDIT: Single-hole—as in the plane, not the girl. She's my ex girlfriend, and one of the only people who I can put through most anything that airplane can do without her throwing in the towel (and this includes airshow types). Her new man doesn't fly aerobatics, but he's understanding about her need for G! The single seater makes more sense 90% of the time! Edited January 24, 2019 by TX-EcoDragon S! TX-EcoDragon
Eight Ball Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 This plane in DCS is equivalent to going to McDowell's to buy a veggie burger. So what? If McDowell's has the best veggie burger in town you'd be a damn fool not to try it. 1 Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)

True that. :thumbup: Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

TripRodriguez Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 @Dolphin887 Thank you guys so much for bringing us this module. I mean no offense to anyone, but I don't really understand the people complaining about non-combat aircraft being released for DCS. If ED had developed it maybe you could say they were diverting resources that should have been used for combat stuff, but since it's third party if you don't want it don't buy it. On the other side of the argument, as near as I've been able to learn DCS is the best flight sim out there for aerobatics thanks to it's amazing flight physics modeling. I also have X-Plane 11 and P3D and though they are great sims for air ordinary flights, as soon as you start getting into "unusual attitudes" things get farther and farther from reality. Many aircraft in those sims won't even stall in a realistic manner, and forget about realistic spins and spin recoveries. On that note, can we get an "unusual attitude" skin for this aircraft? =D 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Demo of my 6DOF Motion VR Sim:

It's not that simple. DCS team still has to do some work to support the new aircraft and even if you don't buy it - you still end up with over 4GBs of Christen Eagle's files on your local drive.

Indeed it isn't that simple, because ED also get a cut of the sales - I expect that to easily compensate for the effort required to integrate the module into DCS.
Stearmandriver Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 This has probably been the single most entertaining thread I've found in the 9 months-ish I've been on these forums. The real Christian Eagle is a blast to fly, and this DCS rendition is very good. Well done, guys. VERY much looking forward to the Corsair now! 3 1
rkk01 Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 BRILLIANT little plane... Can’t understand the fuss! OK, so there’s a world of choice for modules, with plenty in everyone’s individual wish list. This one is totally left field, but an absolute hoot to fly. pretty sure my prop / taildragger flying skills will massively improve as well 6 1
Beirut Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Never considered this plane, but after watching a Grim Reapers review, I think it's my next purchase. And the FM got some love as well from what I've seen. Looks like a great plane for sightseeing and cloud skiing. 2 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
M1Combat Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 It's super fun. Do it. Maybe don't try long distance sight seeing flights... It's a little slow for that... BUT... It will chase it's own tale... It's super fun from an aerobatics perspective :). 1 Nvidia RTX3080 (HP Reverb), AMD 3800x Asus Prime X570P, 64GB G-Skill RipJaw 3600 Saitek X-65F and Fanatec Club-Sport Pedals (Using VJoy and Gremlin to remap Throttle and Clutch into a Rudder axis)
Callsign112 Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Read the entire thread... wow! Thanks for making such a beautifully modeled plane. Looking forward to getting the MIG next!
Tiramisu Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 The Christen Eagle is pretty good for some weird stunts in Dubai like flying through one of those metro stations simply because of its small wingspan. Or land on small surfaces like helipads. I have not tried it myself, but it seems to be possible in real life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-brmk1ua1g

You can also do a what if and penitrate an IADS to "insert" a "spy".
=Mac= Posted November 28, 2023 Posted November 28, 2023 I'm not the greatest at aerobatics but I do enjoy a good sky-dance or two! 5 The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

Vakarian Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 I've always ignored it, but after getting FFB base and trying it out, this thing is a blast to fly. Haven't had that much fun in a while. If you want something to do wild stuff, this is it 2
