Too bad DCS has no correct map, or any other anything for a proper scenario with the P-51 and D9.

True unfortunately, but it will offer us the best dogfight between those 2 planes there's ever been, by a huge margin.

DCS P51 is fantastic to fly, and i can't wait for the D9 to go with it personally, although its not going to be any time soon.

I can't for the life of me think why anyone who is a flight sim enthusiast wouldn't want them both.

For me, those plus CloD with the forthcoming Team Fusion patch are the best we are likely to see for some time.

I'm not buying an entire jet sim just to have one perfectly modeled P 51.

I do understand that it is a great virtual aircraft, but there is a LOT more to a great sim than just having all the right levers and knobs working.

Besides, I have no use for modern BVR jet combat.

Not my cup of tea.

You don't have to.

DCS World is free, and you just buy the P51 module to plug into it.

How much for the P51?

And other than fly around and shoot modern targets, what can I do with it?

i understand you, but, it's example of technology - if not mistaken p-51 it's first plane with piston-engine, AFM and just high level of modelling, in real combat sim - little part of famous history, and money-making etc, so, personally i even seriously not think about maps, planes etc for something like DCS il-2...

in fact, personally i suspect that now could be hidden agrement between 1C and DCS or it's just understanding of situation, without agreements/words... although, unlikely...

and about this real perspective, i read what have problems with documents for soviet planes, but, if DCS will do yak-9p or la-9/11, well, it's great and with p-51, f-86 and mig-15 it's could be little variant of war 50-53, or real battles of cold war, or just hypothetical scenario usa vs ussr (in fact, without competition DCS could use this for advertising a la MG earlier - first time, p-51 vs la-9, AFM, what if etc etc etc... but i hope no... or, no matter)...

but and now, with p-51/fw 190d, it' could be hypothetical scenario usa vs ussr'45, i think, this is not news...

well, DCS legends it's just LITTLE dream for some peoples, without context and for serious money ie mainly for real lovers of old aviation...

(what i'm talking about, i even not playing in p-51 sorry for this "explaining" and sometimes even "advertising", if that, just trying to ponder about...)

yep... although, p-51 and d-9 are too similar in they performances, so, maybe, better do famous and most mass fw 190 a-8 (later it's could be a-7?, a-9, Fs and Gs), but, maybe not... well, no matter, because d-9 already in progress...

now $9.99...

and here little about "when?" we could see fw 190 as AI...

well, at this moment, it's will be something like "playable film from gun camera of p-51"...

I am confused.
What exactly has this thread got to do with IL2 Mods?

As soon as EDGE is finished and Nevada released, we will see map modules for sure.

No offense Thor, but, two years be sure.

How many years had the Nevada map been in the wings waiting for release?

DCS moves at a glacial pace.

I understand that 3rd. party content will soon be a major force in the mix of the DCS universe, but it still takes time to make quality, useable content.
