Should 1c finally be concerned about competition? Eagle Dynamics "Flying Legends".

Most people dismiss these as arcade but Gaijin has War Thunder and Wargaming.net has World Of Warplanes coming out.Both are in beta.I believe both are Russian.

AS it stands at this very moment, no I wouldnt jump ship. But if it comes with playable opponents and a promise of more A/C down the line then yes I would be tempted seriously.

CloD, is great and will be greater in the near future (COME ON PATCH!!!!!!!!) so for now 1C has a solid customer in me, but being American and brought up in a Free market.... To the winner go the spoils. if DCS shows me a reason I should pick them up, Ill do it.

Why no room for both games on your hard drives? I've got Balck Shark, IL2, X Plane 9 and RoF on my PC.

The topic sounds more like a threat than an actual look at something interesting and fun for our hobby.

If you're honestly that dismayed at what's going on at 1C and the condition of the game, then why stick around and make hollow threats? Makes no sense to me.

Was that at me? i am not dismayed with 1C like CloD. But if something better comes out why would I not switch? Are you not familiar with free market capitalism? lol

Its not an issue of space on the hard drive, more like space in my schedule.

No. Just in general. I was pondering aloud and not directing at anyone in particular, hooves.

With DCS's glacial pace of adding new content, I'd say Maddox games should start to be worried, oh in about 2035.

Good post, it's a very real possibility. It's true, you really wouldn't have to try that hard to be honest. Take Birds of Prey, give it a makeover with simulation flight and damage models and everyone will be jumping ship. The community has been treated to a rort and only those who are blindly in love with their captors will cling on.

Besides, the DCS 'environment' leaves me cold. The landscape is less interesting than say, the Slovakia map in 1946. The 'atmospherics' can't compare with 'Cliffs' in any serious way IMO.

I had a fun time learning the full real systems on the Warthog, but once I'd learned them, didn't pick the sim/game up again in any serious way.

I can see that for dedicated Mustang fans, the new expansion'll be fun, but we'll see. Given time for both camps to evolve, in 5 years time we'll be able to make a substantial comparitive evaluation. No offence to the OP, but to say that 1C had better watch out simply because of a Mustang on the horizon is I think a little premature.

DCS is bringing in one WWII plane into a modern era map makes no competition for IL2 at all. Unless DCS decides to make a new WWII game aka Lock On and the Mustang being some kind of a try-out.
The Mustang is just a collectors piece so to speak
