Useless DCS vs. A2A Thread

[71st_Mastiff]

No doubt. The big problem I have currently is not being able to find anyone without labels on (hate flying with them on).

ED will never produce anything that can keep up with A2A. They have been doing this for a lot of years and their aircraft are awesome. I don't even think the DCS P-51D will out class A2A when it is released.

 

I don't think they will look at doing anything for DCS as EtherealIN has pointed out.

 

I hope everything gets ironed out in the DCS version, looks very nice, but still don't understand the point of it. That's just me. Good Luck with the P-51.

And you would know that how?

 

By your own admission you are not interested in the P-51 so how can you stand to compare the two? In any event, why would you want to? They are two separate products and stand to be enjoyed by all who care to purchase them - It's not a p*#ng contest. If you are not interested in the P-51 then that is your prerogative. Just kindly refrain from posting comments as above that could be construed as, let's just say, argumentative and inciteful. Definitely not necessary in the light of your disinterest with the airframe in the first instance.

 

That said, return to topic before further comments of a like nature force the premature closure of the thread.

I do fly a P-51D as well as a spitfire and P-47 and as I said I wish DCS Good Luck with their P-51D model. This is their first attempt at such a model and I wish them all the Best. The other Company has been doing this for years with access to a lot of information. I am not putting ED down just don't expect them to be spot on first time out of gate with this type of model. I am sure it will be their best and will appeal to a lot of people in this Community. It's not fair to ED to compare a company with years of experience, knowledge, information etc. for their first time out. Sure I expect it to be good as are ED's other DCS aircraft and I hope they surprise me with the P-51D, if it is as good or better to what I fly now, I may even purchase it providing price is right which I will assume it will as know they are entering a Simulation area with competition. Good Luck ED. Looking forward to seeing the P-51D and maybe a P-47. Sorry first post didn't explain my point better. Hope this helps.

...and TFC owns a flying P-51D and has a professional pilot thereof on it's payroll...

 

;)

 

Define "access to information". :)

Personally, I suspect the real thing is better than paper. :D

Well how about 2 pilots that fly the P-51D plus one of their staff plus a P-51D on site for tests. All military information(Freedom of Information Act) for aircraft of the era. The list goes on. This company has been doing models of this type, WWII for years, don't you think they have a better chance of doing a better model. I do. This company is the Premium Company for aircraft of this type and they never earned this distinction from forums. This is ED's first time out, let's see how they do. I would expect a good product but there has to be something said for experience and in this area ED is just starting out. I wish them well and hope the product is as good as, so time will tell. I say again I wish ED well in this area of modeling and hope to see them expand in this area. I also hope that 3rd party Companies not forum modders help in the graphics, terrain and other important areas of the simulation. Ya got to walk before you can run.:)

Funny how that sounds a helluva lot like TFC.

[Nate--IRL--]

It think it is fair to say that both A2A and ED/TFC are on par with the ability to collect accurate information.

 

The difference will be how each use it.

And when exactly does WWIII happen? :P

 

Early 60's? Seems about right to me...

 

If you want a world war 3 that happens now, go here: http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/

:P

Until i hear the howl of the super charger after comming out of a dive,im gona stick with DCS :P

Thumbs up to whoever renamed the thread. :)

How about DCS vs usless stang? :D Just kidding!!!!

Useless? No. Evil or mean tempered...sure!;)

Just kidding, guys. And I meant us-less as in there's no us cuz we're all one... :music_whistling:

Creative, but weak!:lol:

Never got in to A2A, although their products do look nice. The whole reason I really enjoy combat aircraft simulators is that they are just that. For me, getting to blow things up in the sim is just as important as an accurate flight model, realistic physics, real weather, etc. I respect the guys who just like to takeoff and fly around but for me having a warbird simulation without the war part is pointless. That's just my opinion. To each his own. For me DCS P-51 is hitting the mark so far on eye candy, flight model, physics, and action (we just need more flyable WWII birds now).

Instead of DCS vs A2A, how about DCS+A2A? Now wouldn't that be something... :music_whistling:

Feel free to lobby A2A. ED would probably be the last to object.

[StewJW]

Any one saying don't bother with A2A Simulations new accuspin models is really mssing out these are the best WWII piston aircrafy simulations on the market I have the P-47 and Spitfire. The only real omission is not being able to dog fight them. I hope DCS pays special attention to the sounds. I also hope DCS have an antagonist to the Mustang under development.
