P-51D into DCS Sims.

Sorry, with the many hundreds of hours I have spent online in Lock On FC and DCS I would have to disagree.

Why, just this Saturday coming we have a mission setup using FC2 with approx 50 players with players from all over, Russia, Canada Europe etc. I have helped organize many online missions with 60+ players.

Is MP perfect in DCS? Of course not, but there is a lot done well. There is no dedicated server for example, but there is solid net code. You can setup a server with a dedicated GFX card in a server farm with a great connection. We did it for years.

There is a reason why the Virtual Blue Angels for example use FC2 for close formation flying. If you got low ping to the server, it is buttery smooth. http://www.virtualblueangels.com/

I must admit after hundreds of hours in FC2, I am looking for something new, which is why I like IL2 ClOD a lot. The DCS A10 and Ka-50 are arguably the best simulated aircraft ever realeased to the PC, but I am a fighter guy, and I am waiting (forever) for DCS:Fighter Jet.

DCS-P51D is kind of a side project for ED. I am sure it will be excellent. It won't, however, be simulating a full WWII theater.

(oh and what Ramstein said to damn it )

I have a Fx-60 with a GtX260 and 4G of ram. The thing flies like a champ. Even on low settings it look decent. The FM is crazy. Fully featured. Click able pit if you want. Every control on a p-51 modeled. Every one. If they decide to run with this and get somebdecentn3rd patty support and can release new AC under nthebRO model then this could take off (no pun intended) like a rocket. Very well done DCS.

Looks sweet, again loads of controls and mapped buttons...lose interest fast

modern combat sims just don't do it for me though I still buy them just to have a look at them now and then

[fruitbat]

oh i agree!

However i'd get that just to have a quick blast of flying something with that power and fm. Low level in that, has got to be fun!

"Didn't replace any other aircraft. It IS the E-model made flyable. For some reason though in World when you make another plane flyable it gives the Su-25T pit, no matter what. I'm working on it though. "

DCS confirms flyable fw 190 d-9 with AFM, right?

although i not have this game and no news about russian version, and personally i prefer Antons by some reasons (interesting plane, good performance even with correct modelling and different equipment, number of guns, bombs etc), nevertheless, it's very interesting - combat SIMULATOR of 2 famous opponents with AFM - and with similar loads d-9 apparently only correct choice, because in DCS p-51 with 25 lbs? and have lot of information exactly about Ds...

i can only dream about yak and bf 109 with high level of details and normal graphic visualisation...

and this is in addition to f-86 and mig-15...

looks like little dream...
