I certainly hope not! The 'fidelity' in FSX is a joke.
I highly doubt they'd release anything that shitty to their customers.

He probably meant the switchology(?) realism.

HVARS are fun!

Interesting that they haven't implemented tree colision as yet! The trees in P-51 are fairly ugly up close.

I think I perfer the ones in COD.

They've taken the fidelity of FSX and added the ability to shoot and blow stuff up, not only that, you can shoot and blow stuff up in MP.

The P-51D is exquisite, the best 3D modelling I've seen in a sim and has a better FM and DM than anything I've used. If DCS was to add an adversay aircraft, like say the FW-190D :) hmmmm

Hurry up Illya ... I'm getn cold feet here

No adversary aircraft? How do you compare FM? How much did this cost you? What missions are available?

Nevermind I am downloading this beta myself. We'll see what this is all aboot.

The only thing you need to know is

1) Gyro sight to fixed.
2) Rocket Counter dial to 1
3) Bomb/Rocket Selector to Rocket
4) Rocket Release Control to AUTO

and then "Holy Moses!" If that doesn't work you can always bounce your .50cal rounds of the hard packed ground into your targets soft underbelly! ;)

Really don't agree with you here.

It has some very nice points BUT it is still very much an early beta. The FM is simple, you set up the revs push the throttle forward and trim and you can basically forget the rudders and do some very violent manuvers.

Damage model has no colision with trees just like COD and the collision model with the ground isn't fully developed. Last night I preformed a hard belly landing I bounced up the steap slopew of a hill and half the plane sank into the ground and then I proceeded to slide and tumble (Half submerged) down the hill.

Eventually I did explode, but the airfame that was left proceeded in a similar mannor downwards.

I now just shot 6 HVARS into a building and the building was still intact without even a column of smoke,

I recon that when finished it will at least be as good as DCS A-10, and I am happy with my pre order, but it has a long way to go!

I'm not sure how immersive it will be flying the Mustang in a modern era map?

In my opinion COD has nothing to worry about in the WWII combat Flight Sim stakes! The two sims are just too different for a direct comparrison in that regard.

Cheers!

Be sure you disable rudder helper too, it's default to ON, it's in special menus.
