DCS: P-47D-30 Discussion

Recommended Posts

P-47 was designed to be high alt fighter, but it turned out to be the best all around fighter/bomber doing tremendous work during war.

When i look at this gun cam footage,im always amazed how small is gun dispersion, you can see lines of bullet impact from left and right wing, In DCS nothing like this can be seen.

Check this out, P-51D 8200 produced,P-47D 12500 produced, German pilots and troops had bigger chance seeing p-47 then p-51 much bigger

Normandy map

 

You think? Architecture looks very English to me? Cant really recognize many of the houses, and the water tower especially.

- Jack of many DCS modules, master of none.

- Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS.

Hmm, now you've got me thinking.

 

Is it from the English side of the channel on Nomandy (the buildings don't look like the French ones...)

Oh, is this Germany even? Been looking at English, Dutch, Belgian, French and German water towers. This is the closest in style.

Call me crazy, but I have a feeling that we will fly P-47's on bomber escort to Peenemünde in a not so distant future.

Du, oide Verrückte Sau . .Yeah, that tower you linked would be on the way to Peenemünde.

 

Although, this tower from Warwickshire looks pretty similar too:

Could be the Normandy map revamped.

 

Other than the water tower, the buildings don't look particularly English/French/German which makes me think there's a generic set of buildings which look vaguely mid-20th Century European.

 

The topography says little to me; there's a few spots on the Normandy map that at low level can easily replicate this.

 

Speedtrees…?

 

Too early to say. However, I'm fairly sure it's not the current Normandy map.

I'd need to re-acquaint myself with the lumpy bits north-east of Tangmere, and the other lumpy bits near St. Lo, in order to fully rule out the existing map.

The colour palette is Normandy, but the assets don't look like the Bocage/ beaches area buildings.

Just had a quick fly around Normandy with CTRL+F11, and I cant recognize a single asset from the screenshot, and I doubt they would totally revamp those for the update. Ground textures and trees are far better in the screenshot (could be the revamp though).

 

Nah, we are looking at the new WWII map. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern / North Germany is my guess. Also a great area for cold war stuff, cause as Wags mentioned at some point, the new WWII map would also be very useful for more modern scenarios.

 

 

Oh, and fantastic to see the Jug in the air :thumbup:

If this is a recent screenshot, which is seems to be(?)... It looks fab! I must admit, I have recently bought Il2 for the P-47 and it is just about satisfying my need/want for the Jug, but I will be a day one buyer for a DCS'd Thunderbolt!!

You won´t find this watertower on the current Normandy map. The Powerpylons are also different....

 

Well, I´m ready. ED you can release the Map, the Jug, the Swallow, the Mosquito and all the other assets for WWII now :music_whistling:

Nice spot. Those I didnt noticed first time around, but that type I have seen on world war 2 photos, in the French regions. Now I dont know if this design was common around Western Europe back then?

 

For example, Caen area.

What I really like in this screenshot is the fact that the trees are not GIGANTIC, so the sense of height will be realistic, not like in the Casucasus map. And they seem to be not so repetetive(pressing thumbs)

From the newsletter:

DCS: P-47 Progress Update

One of the most anticipated WWII modules for DCS is the P-47 and we are excited to say it is getting close. We now have a brand new external model and cockpit in final phase of completion and our FM guru Yo-Yo is hard at work on the turbo-compressor unit and remaining FM issues. It shouldn't be much longer before you will get your hands on this wonderful module.

 

Hihihiiii.... Vicious Vicky come to papa :thumbup:.
