P-51D into DCS Sims.

[Flanker35M]

S!

I own quite a bit of games from ED and their predecessor SSI. Always been good quality. Seeing them adding P51D is great and makes you eagerly wait for the next Flying Legend..I would wish for Bf109 and Fw190

So bring it on Never too many sims to fly

since were talking about another sim here.....has anybody tried x plane 10 so far?
im interested in civil flight sims, and would like to know how it is, before blindly purchasing it.i watched some vids on youtube, and the look of it is covincing.but
how much does it focus on realism?
i have for example microsoft flight sim x professional, but somehow feel that the flight physics feel a bit arcadish even on max realism settings.

I've never been particularily impressed by X-plane, gui is not very intuitive, 3d cockpits are rare, I paid for 9, don't want to pay again just to have 10, it will be the same story when 11 is released.
In terms of realism I guess it's pretty good, they focus very hard on accurate flight modelling.

Same here and the terrain is really naff unless you want to pay out for add-ons. Many people say the FM is far superior to FSX but FSX has such a wide base now you can get almost anything you want, much of it free. I like it for simple flying around over the photo terrain I added although the MS terrain is better than X-plane IMHO. Since I'm not dogfighting or doing serious aerobatics I don't notice any 'faults' in the FM. Its more than adequate. I will get Flight when it comes out just to see what the final release is like.

Yes, interesting. A lot of adverse comments since no SDK will be released and hence no 3rd party content.

They are consciously targetting a different market, trying to pull 'gamers' towards 'simulation'.

Thanks for the news on the upcoming DCS P-51! It's my favourite airplane, the cockpit shots look awesome!

can i ask you? why you like this plane?
It's not beautiful, bad maneuverable characteristics, but good speed.
Why this plane?

hey klem...
honestly i didnt know that there is free stuff for microsoft flight simulator x.i always thought that every additional content would be payware.
could you maybe lead me to a site where free content is available?would be nice.i searched the web, but didnt find anything which seemed to be right at the first glance.
thx in advance.

Here you go mate. You'll need to register at the site and then go to the 'Files' tab. There are some excellent free downloads. Airports, aircraft, scenery. The Tiger Moth and Goshawk T-45 are particularly fine. Enjoy!

P.S. Once you're in there, there is so much stuff it's easier to search to see if what you're looking for is available, than looking through every page.
