Erm...No, Ta.

As soon as I get the A-10 into the air and look around outside the cockpit, I wonder why I've just wasted 20mins of my life getting the thing off the ground.

It wouldn't make any difference if it was a P-51 or even a nice MkI Spit, the environment is still as cold as ice and worse in terms of 'realism' than the old IL2.

Doesn't get my vote. Apologies to the the fans. ;)

and the modelling just feels perfect. you really have to fight the aircraft to keep it steady under certain circumstances. and the sound of the 6x .50 cals is awesome (ricocheting tracers too).

go have a look. there's some new pix up of B-17s and FW-190 Ai being developed.

The more the sim and modding community support it the quicker the WWII/korean senarios will develop.

this a mod for CloD? how can you make a statement like that and not post a link??

all im waiting for is my trusty ol P40

link please!! :grin:

I already spent my budget on a beta game.

No 109=uninterested.

Yep gettin this as soon as I get home ( 2 days!) from what I've seen it looks fantastic, great modeling, sounds, cockpit, well worth the small cash investment, With the new US strike fighter that'll be next and the excellent MIG-21Bis nearing completion DCS is going to become an amazing sim platform.

It's very disappointing to see so many people ready to dismiss it out of hand instantly, I can understand that full fidelity sims is not everyone's cup of tea, but with such great reasoning as "No 109=uninterested " wonder the sim industry is on the down turn.

I bought it first day and I love it. I was skeptical at first (wrong theater, no WWII, etc), but it is such pleasure to fly it - it's simply undescribable. When I bought ClOD I thought that planes and feeling would be like these.

Why? Do you do things that you dislike?
I personally dislike the P-51 in every way it is possible to dislike an aircraft. Why on earth would I be interested in a simulation of it? Now bring on a full switch sim of the P47/P-40/109/190/P-38 etc etc, but the mustang is just awful.
Should we all buy stuff we have no intention of using just because its a sim? I think not.

Agreed. The most important thing is this beta works very well. It is going to have loads of content in the future. Its not even released and it works great OOTB. It has AA too!

No of course not, when you explain why you wouldn't buy it like that, clear and with good logic I don't ever have a problem with it (not that it matters what I think in the end anyway I know), I guess that whole, not buying/trying It's not "insert favorite plane here" has always rubbed me the wrong way, it has always just seemed way too dismissive to me I think.

Although now that DCS world is being opened up to third party development I honestly think it'll end up with many of those great plane in it, fingers crossed.

Can't let that stand for the Hog. The missions and campaigns provided by the devs and the community are very well done and much better than CloDs stock campaigns/missions. Even the quick mission generator provides much fun.

Did you try the Georgian Hammer campaign? It's very, very alive and provides a great sense of being there and part of a combined arms force.

I do hope for a Korea setting for the P-51.
