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...
