Bought. I've got several hours in it and personally, this is the best module, yet. The fly by sound is stunning. The whistle thing is not always heard but it's there. The exhaust manifolds breathe fire in sequence - might be eye candy or the engine firing order is actually modeled. Strafing looks and feels like those guncam videos. Difficult? Yes. But I think people with top-of-the-line HOTAS may disagree. Taking off and landing is a migraine starter - as advertised. You just can't firewall the throttle and get away with it - read the instruction! After countless attempts, I've gotten the hang of taking off, but it is still a hit n miss. Landing, I can only get it down in pieces. Migraine kicking in just thinking about it.

 

If you want to role play then buy il2. This is a detailed simulation of one of the best warbirds ever produced made for people who dream of flight. It is what it is at its best.

A little known fact - the whistle is actually caused by airflow over the gun-ports at high angles of attack.

Got this error after I tried to install, not sure what it means or whether their is anything I can do.

 

"A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine."

Did this error prevent installation/execution of DCS World? If it does, try reinstalling and deselect the option for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (you have a newer version already installed).

You can have the Su-25T right now if you like?

I have to agree with Nate and the general consensus here - this is a fantastic product. It may not be q800's "cup of tea" but don't discount their hard work.

 

Everyone wants DCS:Next Fighter and that will come in time. Until then enjoy the marvels that we are given.

Flew it last night for all of 20 mins. I'm personally surprised how well it performs in beta on my aging computer. Technical surprises aside......my GOD how much I love this module. During setup I switched directly to realistic and thought I turned off the takeoff aides (didn't drop the slider to 0% after clicking off the assist. My first takeoff was perfect (thanks to the assist)...I figured something had to be wrong...exited out before rotating.

 

Slider off...

 

Takeoff #2.

 

Trimmed rudder to takeoff position and slowly pushed the throttle forward slowly...noticed immediately the difference, but was able to keep her under satisfactory control (not picture perfect by any means)...I sigh of relief as I rotated smoothly away from the runway. Can't wait to see what it's like with drop tanks and rockets/drop tank.

 

There is so much to learn, especially in the combat area, I still have some serious hotas mapping to do, but looking forward to the following few weeks/months/years...mastering another DCS bird.

 

Love the DCS World by the way, visions coming to fruition.

 

Congrats ED on the release.

Many of us buy P51 to support ED, but would prefer more work put towards DCS Fighter Jets. I think I am stating the obvious and I am not being negative. it's just your statement shows not everyone realises this.

Either way you slice it. The P-51D looks like it will be another amzing achievement from ED.

 

Send me a pm before the airshow. Maybe I could make it over and hang out.
