Nate--IRL-- Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Hey, this is a very active thread, and i have not read all 64 pages of it, so it this has already been answered, please point me to the right post. I wonder about the nature of this add on, is it a FSX like "aircraft only" add on which provides the airframe and documentation only, or is there going to be extra content.. missions, challenges, maybe even a campaign? If so, what is planned for that? If not, since most of using the P51D will probably be flying around, will there be improvements in AI airspace handling and proper ATC and procedures? Thanks in advance, Madog It is too early to comment on features, at present it is the aircraft in DCS. As for other stuff I can't say because I don't know, but I'd be very surprised if there weren't stuff to do included - I personally hope to complete something to be included for release myself.

tflash Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I remember in the beginning of Flaming cliffs we got performance charts comparing the turn performance of A-10A and Su-25. I wonder about the performance comparison between A-10C and P-51. Wikpedia gives them about the same speed, but I bet the Hog can't keep up with this noble horse? And turn performance? I feel some incredible dogfights are in the making ... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 The P-51 is a 12000lbs aircraft. It turns on a dime, too. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
effte Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 We'll be getting charts. Can't have luftwhiners without charts. The side which can make up... sorry... which through thorough research in historical archives can find the most charts wins! ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.

Laud Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 ...gosh, imagine the furor if ED announce the next DCS vehicle isn't even an aircraft :P ...oh that's right, combined arms.. ED are thinking outside of the box, and you guys should as well when imagining what might be coming from DCS.... It's always been envisioned as a "total battlefield" simulation experience...why get hung up on whether its a fast jet with buttons and screens or a WWII fighter with cable based flight systems and a MAD tendancy to try and kill you. Its a battlefield simulation full stop...next could be anything on the battlefield, sea air or land. So far so good, but a battlefield simulator with mixed units from 80 years of history is somehow strange don't you think? Just to be clear: I'm totally Ok with the Mustang and everything that will follow it from this era, but when it comes to further modules like ground vehicles, ships, maybe even soldiers, it would generate the biggest benefit, if they were from about the same decade! ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Asus ROG STRIX Z390-F Gaming, Intel Core i7 9700k , 32gb Corsair DDR4-3200 Asus RTX 2070 super, Samsung 970 EVO Plus M2, Win10 64bit, Acer XZ321QU (WQHD) TM HOTAS Warthog, SAITEK Rudder Pedals, TIR 5

Tailgate Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I used to fly Janes WWII Fights until recently. Loved recreating the Battle of the Bulge scenarios with massive Tank battles. It was fun taking my P-47 down for some really close, close air support.
Bearitall Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 No he is a horse. LOL as in " Mr.Ed " the horse on the TV show....:music_whistling: www.virtualtuskegeeairmen.com
Bucic Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Doesn't really float my boat this - what are you going to do with it? Take off, fly around a bit (to do what?), land and then never use it again. This will be interesting. Both the product and ED popping up in the WW2 market. F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
MACADEMIC Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Very excited about the news of DCS moving into the WWII aircraft arena. Not a DCS customer yet, but will be watching this very closely. MAC P.S.: Great community here.

VincentLaw Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Obligatory cheer for the new aircraft announcement. Honestly I was hoping for something like an F4U Corsair, but that wouldn't be complete without an Essex, Midway, or Yorktown. That makes the P-51D more cost effective entertainment. (On second thought, not to discourage the devs, the Carl Vinson and Admiral Kuznetsov will do just fine.) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Phantom88 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Ok...........I have to ask:) Any chance of an Open Beta for The Pony ala A-10C?:D Really looking forward to The Mustang Thank You Patrick
