Just what are you supposed to do with a P 51 procedure simulator, that has no other content that is applicable to the WW2 time frame?

Clod will be fixed long before the DCS guys have enough content and aircraft to make a P 51 sim viable.

Not dissing the actual P 51 model, we all know that DCS does a bang up job...

...of modeling one aircraft at a time.

So with their track record of one plane a year, at best, it will be 2 decades before any kind of WW2 sim worth playing emerges from the DCS studio.

And I will be long since gone and chatting with the guys who really flew them.

Methinks that DCS is in as much financial trouble as Maddox Games (and all combat flight simulation really) is and is releasing a P 51 to tap into the American fetish with this aircraft.


Have fun getting owned by A 10s.

Can someone leave a hint, if we receive a new terrain with it and what the air targets will be, please?


I guess DSC and especially the latest three releases are more simulation oriented. At that point CoD cant stand the challenge i guess, admitting that i just downloading the P51 atm, and havent played it, but A10, which is a hell of a simulation.
So the DSC series are developed at another background than Cod and thus no competitive .... imho.

As DSC is going to be implementing also 3rd party products like A2A, I ve no doubts that several oponents will rise soon.

You'll get DCS World with a Su-25T (beta/demo/whatever) and into that you'll install the P-51D that later requires the activation key.

Without key you will still get into the Mustang mission but in external view letting the AI fly - good for performance/design/model/whatever evaluation if nothing else.

Simple.. DUEL

Nothing like a same plane contest to highlight the difference in pilot skill levels!

Had not even thought of that, but I've never liked same on same kinds of events in any case.

And I do retract my comment about DCS needing money, I forgot that their main income stream is simulations for the real military.

Given a choice..

It is not my cup-o-tea either..

But when some noob is going on and on and on about how he can whoop your A.. There is nothing better than shooting him down in a same plane contest.. Because it removes one of the biggest excuses he could use as to why he lost..

Don't get me wrong!

He will still make excuses, but at least he can not use the 'your plane is better than mine' excuse!

So until DCS gets some 'other' planes to shoot at.. I suspect you will see alot of DUEL servers up an running

Sorry ... i don't get it?

Shouldn't the Nellis map be the priority? But you cant talk to them, they will ban you if you complain

Still waiting for their FA/18 C next DCS module that it obviously is.
