....

Did you have the simplified model active ( I didn't bother installing the simple model at all ) but I had to be sooo careful with rudder and throttle control just to get the thing airborne. I must have made about 3 three attempts. For me the FM is very twitcty and I like it.

At one point I attemped a landing, came in too high, so I executed missed approach. I applied too much throttle however and started oscillating all over the place. It's wansn't easy to stabalise like in CloD or 46.

I share your sentimants re competition, it's not CLoD and I don't think they have anything to worry about ... now. Because it all depends on what DCS do next. The DCS World system is pretty cool and I actaully prefer the idea of buying only the aircraft I want to fly and pluging it in to DCS World.

In all honesty, I would have only flown about 10 or so aircraft during my time with IL-2 1946, and seriously flown 5.

I think it's only a matter of time before we get more a/c and maps from DCS ... as it stands DCS have already asked the cumminuty to make 3rd party options AND get paid for it.

Mind you it's limited to missions, skins, sounds etc. but what if they opened this up to 3rd party developement of aircraft like MS did with FSX? Then we might see CLoD have some competition.
