DCS news letter and the P-51

Great news on being open to 3rd parties. I hope 3rd party MSFS stuff will be converted to DCS one day.

Il-2 series was started with only one plane in mind (Il-2) All fighters were added later.

Agreed. I'd love to see some Accusim A2A ww2 planes be made for DCS series with planes with actual damage model and weapons.

S!

The creativity and power of a dedicated community should never be underestimated if given tools like this on DCS

Yes 3rd party is good BUT there needs to be some type of QC like the way the old IL-2 series had. Modeler makes model and then sends it to 1cMG, they "QC" it and approves it. There's nothing more I hate then flying a plane with a really nice looking 3d model exterior with a crud looking cockpit or vice versa. It completely destroys any consistency and that's why I don't like many of the mod planes for old IL-2, sure I'd love to fly some of them but not with those crummy looking 3d models/cockpits. I assume and I hope this system will be in the future IL-2 series because quite frankly, without 3rd party and with regards to how long it takes to make one plane for the new IL-2 series, we are looking at a desert of extra content.

It's been over a year since release now, how many new (and I don't mean variants of existing models) flyable planes do we have in CloD? that's right, not many. I've said it before, I'm willing to pay for content if they would just make it, waiting a couple of years for new content in expansions is not gonna cut it.
