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

...and the one that gets back in the car likes ice cream

 

Only 40% of him like ice cream. 70% of him wonder where the crisps went, though.

This is my favorite kind of poll. I think the results are more useful when you get to vote for more than one option. If the options were just yes and no for example, you could assume anyone that voted both yes and no was undecided!

[Peyoteros]

What prevents you from voting yes and no in this one?

At least the naysayers will have more targets to shoot at:

I'm very much looking forward to it and I hope they can tie it into the supply/inventory/resource system they have in mind.

Ouch! Nice ones! :)

I'll wait my favorite F18 aircraft

[6S.Duke]

I'd like to have also a FW-190D or a ME-262 to do 2vs2 or 4vs4 dogfight sessions :)

I like so much the P-51D Mustang and I can't wait the release, but german warbirds have a particular charm IMO...

Well to be honest, at first, I've been skeptical, and wanted DCS: Fighter to be done ASAP. But now after some thinking, this might be a good thing, especially if with this thing ED attract some 3rd party dev's like A2A and OBRX.

 

Even though I'm not a biggest fan of American WW2 birds, I'm gonna buy it, and fly it. I hope we will be able to see some complex engine management and realistic behavior. (I don't expect anything less from ED tbh :music_whistling:)

 

What I would really like to see done in the legend series is my personal favorite WW2 plane FW190A, then later really sky is the limit. I can see that production time on legend series will be a lot less than the current, modern aircraft, so here's to hope. :thumbup:

Wet our appetites ED.One video of a dogfight between two P51's:smilewink:

“The Mustang flies like every aircraft should. With lots of power and beautifully harmonized controls, it is a joy to fly. The first time you push the throttle up can only be compared to the exhilaration of your first solo, because there is your life before the Mustang, and there is your life after the Mustang, because it will never be the same. It's a magic carpet armed with machine guns.”

Yeah, I'm looking forward to DCS P-51. :)

[leafer]

What do I think of P-51? I think it's time for an update. :D

[larryunderwood]

yeah and three missions

Lets just say I've realised how much of a thin veneer other WWII era simulators are compared to the DCS: Mustang.

[Rivvern]

High quality as always ED. I like it very much. After flying alot of IL-2 and other WWII sims i thought this would be too simple for me... i guarantee its not. I've crashed so many times already. The aircraft really feels heavy and authentic.

 

And with the new DCS World this is really getting interesting. We just need more planes/choppers, a dedicated server with a dynamic multiplayer campagn with the possibility to run for weeks.

 

 

Just get rid of that stupid DRM.

[Agg]

Im liking it a lot, and I dont really care if it doesnt fit in with the Hog or the Shark, just flying around in the Pony is a great experience. And all the little details just make me want to come back for more; just noticed that if you select the "Tuskegee Airmen"-skin the pilot will be black :P

I bought it, two reasons really

 

One - variety is the spice of crashing planes into the ground

And the Second - I might not get much use out of it maybe afew hours maybe afew hundred hours I don't know yet, but support a brand that offers extreme level's of high quality is something i'll get behind.

I was actually surprised at how easy it was to fly. But that was because my first flight was flown "my way", not the proper way. I gave it two notches of flaps and held the stick in my lap until about 90 and gently brought the tail up. Landing was even easier. 3 points and it tracked straight as a razor. Then I tried it the right way. No flaps and let the tail fly itself off with neutral stick. 3 seconds later I was upside down in the grass. It's a nice machine. The new explosions are a big improvement. Without a Bf-109 I don't think I will fly it very often but am quite happy to help fund a single desktop icon.

Takeoff, landing, and flying point A to point B can be quite easy in the Pony. Where she can be a real handful in a dogfight, particularly if you let her get too slow and ham-fist the controls.

[Pougatchev]

Yeah but flying point A to B to C etc with bad weather, no radar, and some other "ennemy" mustang arround like a good old air patrol can be really difficult.

 

This sim remember me Combat Flight Simulator 2, but we need some flak and some other plane to destroy, I have see a BF-109 on a DCS P51 video, waiting for informations about that, i just praid for this to be not an easter egg :thumbup:

[Salty58]

Don't stop now. I'm looking for the next generation IL2 replacement. Bring on a worthy opponent, late model Me 109 or FW 190, and I guarantee you'll have people swarming. Out of small beginnings come great things!

[Teapot]

Most definitely yes please for WWII era aircarft (and early 50's props) and WWII era scenery/environment!

[Frogisis]

Right now it doesn't feel like there's that much to do, but I could see enjoying the hell out of this once it's got a larger palate of appropriate targets. I'm sure by this time next year the community will have cranked out entire armies for it to fight.

 

In the mean time, though, it's crazy fun to fly. The A-10 feels kinda like a big magic carpet - it just sort of evenly "floats" in the direction you point it, which is great for the cockpit workload - but the P-51 feels like a frisbee with rocket engines. The flight model is great, since you can really "feel" the air around you with every move. It pushes back and makes the whole thing feel kind of "springy."

 

I just did the training missions today, and fighting in it is a real challenge. Man, those machine guns sound great, though. It's pretty hard to conserve ammo with something that makes that kinda noise.
