....

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.

Well sort of. What they are really doing is encouraging people to market separate third party commercial products and are happy for you to make a profit if you manage to sell any.

I think they are trying to get some of the FSX 3rd party devs over to DCS. Making a P51 was sort of a way of "showcasing" their engine and sim to the FSX A2A crowd.

I think they have a chance too because you can actually blow stuff up in DCS compared to FSX. But how large is the DCS community compared to FSX? My guess is FSX has many more potential customers so the 3rd party devs can make more cash. But it's a start.

Can't wait until we see some 3rd party stuff for CloD series, but I think we are still pretty far away sadly...

Hitler should realize the P51 won the Battle of Britain, Midway, Battle of the Coral Sea as well as Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle Raid. Oh ... and also Kursk and Stalingrad.

We are certainly in for some very interesting weeks, months and years ahead! It looks like we will be spoilt for choices and I can only assume that it will put a bit of extra pressure on MG to get the patch out sooner, which is a good thing? Right?

I haven't got around to takeoffs yet, so I look forward to seeing the Mustang flys like in the lower end of the flight envelope. I've been flying with autorudder and the simulation settings options disabled.

Cheers!
