What do you think about P-51D and Flying Legends?

What do you think about DCS: P-51D and Flying Legends series?

 

I have created a poll to view results clearly. .

[HitchHikingFlatlander]

Looking forward to the possibilities coming to us not only with this add-on but where the DCS series is going in general. The last few years have been good to flight sim enthusiasts.

[WarthogSmurf]

wot about this option (in my case)

1. I wont buy it at first instance but now that i saw the youtube videos "ride with a p-51d" i will have to own it !

 

 

in short i am going to buy it thats for sure and want to do a a10c vs p51d i think it will be a tough mission then with guns only. so i am looking out for it

[sorcer3r]

IMO best choice for flying legends would have been the AH-64A. This chopper fits perfect the current DCS world.

And as a 2-seater it would have been a milestone in DCS history :D

[104th_Cobra]

Hmmm, there's no option "It flies at 300kts+, has 6 .5 guns, 5'' rockets, can carry 500lbs bombs and all the bells and whistles are modelled. Great!"

To be completely honest,I was hoping for something with a tail hook.That said and not to sound like an ingrate to the dev team who are working hard on the Pony.

 

I'm very,very excited to be able to fly a P-51 that is done to DCS high Standards.

Thank You ED/TFC

P-51D Mustang is the History of US Air Force, ED with this Airplane make a History, this airplane is a very crazy horse,difficult to drive, it will be a challenge to tame. A plane that surely transmit emotions in the pilot. Thanks Eagle Dynamics

I am totally happy with WWII aircraft but I really wish and hope that the simultion includes other AI controlled WWII in a WWII scenerio along with the capibility of flying in the "modern" environment.

I already found a shovel in the garden that could serve as a yoke! Saves me 400 $ on a Hotas Warthog :D

[LostOblivion]

I am not going to answer this stupid biased poll. Jeez. It is the silliest poll I have ever seen.

[Krunkskimo]

Unless this has a WW2 theatre, WW2 opponents, ect. I'm waiting until it goes on sale on steam to get this for a modern aircraft arena. I dont do VFAT or in a vsquadron so i dont see alot of value in this personally.

[Tailgate]

I don't get this one..

 

I want WW2 scenery, not just a WW2 plane!

 

Obviously we'll have WWII theaters, A/C, bombers, ground vehicles and everything to recreate our favorite battles .. e.g., Bulge, Peenemunde, D-Day, and escort missions up the ying yang.

 

(In addition to visible birds, how about some deer, a la Jane's WWII fighters? ) ;)

I wish Thrustmaster would come out with a P51 stick

Well it actually looks like a broomstick with a rubber end .....no fancy buttons or so ....

Great should be easy for TM.

:lol::thumbup:

 

 

I too dislike the poll options. Offered instead...

 

"I welcome Flying Legends as long as it doesn't hinder progression elsewhere...isn't the developmental bottleneck obvious enough?"

The grips look familiar?

[Rikus]

What i think?

 

Terrible mistake.

 

ED should develop the plane that gave all the fame, a Flanker. Or whatever air/air plane for the DIGITAL COMBAT SIMULATOR. This DCS Module will be a super sell for sure.

 

If you want to fly P51, IL2, FSX, COD...

 

Greetings

[EtherealN]

...If you want to fly a Flanker try LOMAC... :P

Terrible mistake.

As much as I do understand and agree with the logic behind the P-51 - I really really......really ... want DCS:- Su-27 Flanker more than any thing in this world.

Already done very VERY nicely here...

I personally think that ED should be focussing more on the next DCS modern fighter jet, as this is definitely where the general audience wishes the series to go, and where the greatest gap is in modern military simulators. I am ok that ED are adding ww2 fighters to their set list, and can see that it is an intelligent move for them to stay alive in the market, as a ww2 study sim would be faster to create, and easier from a licenseing perspective, allowing them to bang several out fairly quickly. However for me there are a few concerns.

 

Firstly, ED, while proving wonderful in their ability to faithfully simulate every grueling detail of an aircraft on the study sim level, have always been lacking in resources to complete the picture, with accurate and believable scenarios such as new theaters of war. If we are to bring the mustang to the very same area as previous DCS and flaming cliffs, it will be disappointing. Because of the mustangs historical service record, it is difficult to imagine a scenario where it would be at home in the current area of the world modelled by ED. The draw card of most ww2 sims seems to be the recreation of a historical theater of war. If ED faithfully reproduce the mustang, but fall short in other areas, it will limit both it's potential to be a great sim, and it's potential audiences interest. In saying that I might be wrong, maybe the new audience will accept the wonderfully accurate modeling of the mustang, despite not having an accurate surrounding to fly it in.

 

My other concern is, how does integrating DCS MUSTANG, with previous DCS series add to the future potential of the DCS multiplayer capability? For me, it seems completely out of place alongside the a-10 and the black shark. And when ED eventually do bring out the next true DCS modern fighter jet, the mustang will be like the elephant in the corner....

 

At any rate, I will probably get DCS mustang, purely because I love a faithful reproduction of an aircraft, especially one as beloved as the mustang. Now as for online play, maybe if ED continue to bring out more ww2 aircraft, I can see how that would aid the online experience, but until then, I can't imagine too much going on there.

[Nate--IRL--]

Dimebag may I just say that that is a refreshingly frank way of expressing how you feel.

 

There has been so much Wailing and gnashing about the Mustang, that I find your views very welcome, in that way you have expressed them.

 

Just one thing to point out, the focus hasn't left DCS:- Next, that is being developed in parallel with the Mustang.

 

Nate

[Steel Jaw]

Next, that is being developed in parallel with the Mustang.

 

Bah!

 

What precisely is "next".

 

:helpsmilie:

[Arclight]

Bah!

 

What precisely is "next".

 

:helpsmilie:

Wrong forum. And it won't be answered anyway, not untill ED is well and ready.

 

 

Have to agree with Dimebag. It's nice to have another aircraft to learn to fly, but as long as there is no playground in which to put these skills to the test, I don't see myself supporting the Flying Legends series (at full asking price, at any rate).
