DCS is not exactly looking good at all. It's like comparing apples and bananas. And yes, Blackshark performed horribly on my machine, similar to CloD when it came out. Never really touched it again ever since... :rolleyes:

look at the vivid colors, the dynamic lightning, the subtle gestures while the other P51 is like vomiting the pilot after a binge drinking

What's the use of vivid colour, dynamic lightning when flying is choppy. COD shows me more FPS than I have in DCS but is almost non playable. And I'm not comparing how it something performed back some time. I compare now, on same computer. I still believe that COD will be almost as good as IL2 in it's time. But now it is not.

Sincerly, I've bought DCS: A-10C some months ago and I've loved immediately that Flight Sim. I was fascinated for the extreme level of detail of the 3D model, cockpit, FM, DM, and the complexity of the avionic.

When ED announced the P-51D, I've thought that this is a good proof to test the hard flight model of that plane. I've purchased the game and installed quickly... Finally I've found a very good simulation of a warbird!

You are right about waiting for the WW2 models and weapons, but I prefer to fly only an aircraft instead waiting a patch that delays the release. :)

This is my opinion, because I've bought IL-2 COD since it was in preorder and until today I've played with that only 30 minutes... It is very sad! :(
I hope the patch will be released soon.

The only problem about the DCS is the prize. You shall pay $39.99 for every single flyable aircraft. And if ED develped all the aircrafts in IL2 series, it would need more than 300 years.

I don't care about it. If I have to bail out, the game is over. Why waste time and effort on the feature??

I've just tested the bail out animation in the P-51 while flying inverted, it's the same as if I was flying straight. Looks a little bit silly, but if I really have to bail out I don't care what animation is being used, usually I just hope to survive :-P

Oh wow. Why should devs bother implementing landing mechanics at all? :) If you have to land - the game is over anyway.

It might be worth remembering that Aces High only had the P51-D on release.

Its second model was the Spit IX.

Doesn't seem to have held it back any.

And I'll gladly pay 300 kroner per plane. I always have for FSX stuff. After all, considering the investment I made for CLOD: 30,000 kroner for a PC, 3000 kroner in controls and 4000 kroner for a new screen, 300 for flight sim software that actually works is a bargain!

lol... I think this sums up what you just did to Avro (Avro is the guy prancing around at the start ;))
