Abandoned?

[Alpiinoo]

Hello, I am currently stuck between Spitfire and Mosquito for sale. I like Mosquito, but I'm worried little bit about wihout AI Navigator. Moreover, the lack of any news about AI makes me worried about buying the plane. I think I'll just buy the spitfire now and wait for AI to arrive for the mosqutio.

You can fly it perfectly fine without AI, but if you are not convinced, just trial it for the 2 weeks and decide after that.

I happen to have both of them and my personal verdict is that I enjoyed the Mosquito more, but that may be in part because I am generally a ground attack enjoyer and find that dogfighting in the Spitfire often trips over some DCS core problems.

Seriously, this.

 

Quite frankly, I think the Mosquito wouldn't even need a George-style fancy AI. Something akin to what ol' Belsimtek did for the Huey would probably suffice. The option to have a 'pilot' keep it somewhat straight and level or maybe circle or at least hold attitude properly, while I work with the radios in the back. Skill issue? Maybe. But I find it awfully hard to do the entirety of the flying while also looking the exact other way and fiddling with the dials. It isn't even that doing a lot with the long range radio was always necessary, it just feels to me that they put a lot of work into modeling all that and then made it borderline impossible to use any of it.

Just a reminder - an auto-level mod for Mossie and other warbirds was posted here a few months ago. Granted, it was most likely not IC-compliant and I don't know if it worked OK in campaigns either, but for single player crowd it was better than nothing.
