digitaljjd Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Sigh...I wish Nevada was a prioritory over this before starting something new. Having said that, I am a WWII/ WWII aircraft nut. The thought of a DCS level P-51 just made something happen in my pants. I just wish a P-38 was in the works along with a B-17, which brings me to the point...what will the P-51 fly against? DCS has to go all out WWII. Correct? I admit I was too excited to read the previous 10 pages of posts, but WWII tech aircraft tech should be a cake walk compared to the Ka-50 and A-10. I hope they can crank out DCS level WWII aircraft left and right. Please, for the love of God, a DCS level B-17G and/or a P-38J/L would make me shell out more of my hard earned cash to DCS. I can't wait! Bravo on the P-51!
joey45 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Also TFC does not have any jets so how can there be DCS: Flying Legands with jets..? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Heli Shed Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 P-51. TFC. Money is a wonderfull influence factor! Fairplay ED, a good business move, one which will undoubtedly flourish from a fair bit of support from the community, but to be frank perhaps a little less cloak and dagger about the development of the Fighter Series to appease what is undoubtedly, a fairly pissed off large portion of your audience? will be buying the P-51, but it wont form part of the 74th. shame. I have no doubt it will be a wonderful flight. Come pay us a visit on YouTube - search for HELI SHED
CDR Spectre Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I wonder how many of the people complaining that it isn't *insert aircraft here* will pre-order or buy day 1? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] It's not the fall that gets you. It's the Godawful sudden stop at the end.

GGTharos Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 You will find that there's really nothing simple as far as the P-51 goes. While it might not be as fancy as an A-10C, what you lose in avionics complexity is made up for greater stick and rudder and engine operation complexity! As for WWII aircraft other than the P-51 ... I'll just say that I don't think ED is into one-offs. Sigh...I wish Nevada was a prioritory over this before starting something new. Having said that, I am a WWII/ WWII aircraft nut.

Kegetys Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Is it a "generic" P51D (as it was in WW2 times) or modeled after some specific current-day P51D? I guess the todays flying ones might have some differences in instruments/radios or such? As a cyborg, you will serve SHODAN well http://www.kegetys.fi
CDR Spectre Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Good job, ED. Blowing things up from 30,000 feet and modern technology and all that has its place but there is just....SOMETHING....about getting up close and personal with the target. If not a pre-order, then a definite day one purchase for me. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] It's not the fall that gets you. It's the Godawful sudden stop at the end.
GGTharos Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I think you will find it quite authentic. This is my guess only: TFC has restored their own P-51D, and it is modeled after that aircraft. However the cockpit is modeled (I think) out of the P-51D manual. [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
digitaljjd Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Not complaining, day dreaming. P-51's against modern aircraft isn't practical. That means DCS will have to do a lot of AI WWII aircraft or more DCS WWII aircraft. :-)

Sawamura Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Thats what i call an easy target. I wonder how they want to integrate the P-51 into DCS missions. Fighting modern enemy aircrafts and ground untis with an WWII airplane..? I think the only people, who find real use for that module are the guys from the Virtual Horsemen. ED, i hope you will do something more usefull, soon.

ED Team f-18hornet Posted January 21, 2012 ED Team Posted January 21, 2012 I love props so this is a welcome bonus for me, but with DCS i'd rather an F-4 or Mig-21 as a legend, bring on the workload.

I'll just say that I don't think ED is into one-offs. I was referring to avionics. No disrespect was intended. Flight models are complex, but compared to an A-10C the P-51 and all of it's systems must be an easier task to reproduce at DCS level. Yes?
Snoopy Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 will be buying the P-51, but it wont form part of the 74th. shameI have no doubt it will be a wonderful flight. Same here....won't be part of the 25th...maybe a couple on the ramp but not officially supported within the squadron/wing...

effte Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 1) I'm buying a grand-stand seat next to the runway when it goes live, to watch people learning to cope with ground handling and torque/P-factor. On second thought, make that at a safe distance from the runway, with binos. 2) Nevada is coming. Nellis is in Nevada. Then there's that other place, R-something... we need pylons modelled! 3) We will finally be getting our very own Luftwhiners! No Mustang sim is complete without them! :D ----- 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.
GGTharos Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I think that by comparison, the only complex (to use) pieces of avionics will be the K-14 sight and engine control.

Cedaway Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Nice work. Sounds exciting but I have questions: 1) Will P-51D be intergrated into the DCS world with scenario, missions, campaign along with other AI WW2 airplanes or will the P-51D will just be dropped into DCS world without anything else? 2) Is it coming with a new graphic engine or a modernisation in the core of the engine (multithreading, Dx11 support,...), up to make our 'Nasa style' multi CPU & GPU more profitable? 3) Screenshots are beautiful, Thanks Wags and ED.

droz Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 SWEET! I'd expect there to eventually be a B-17, ME-109, FW-190, HE-111, P-38, and P-47 available if they really wanted to round this out.
