Enjoyable is realitive..

As for working..

Wellll..

Like the current CoD alpha patch.. The current DCS P51 has some aspects disabled..

Most notably for me is the Force Feedback is disabled..

Hard as hell to fly with a wet noodel FFB stick.. But do I run to the DCS forums and whine about it? Nope! Becuase they clearly pointed out that the FFB is disabled in this beta version

With regards to the DCS engine/landscape, I bought Flanker 2.0 (which I think Lock On/FC are based on) back in 2k and just remember how blown away I was running such a good looking sim -both aircraft models and landscape- on my Celeron 500MHz/196MB RAM/Voodoo 3 16MB rig. Also the manual that came with it, thick as a brick, was amazing. In conclusion, yes the Flanker/LockOn/FC/DCS engine has aged very gracefully and has always scaled well, I hope the same for CloD.

Yup Flanker started it all.. Than Flanker 2.0.. I forget which of the two, pretty sure it was the first, that was one of the first sims to do a full up 6DOF FM. I belive Flanker was the 1st to use floating point, and PAW 1942 was one of the first if not first PC sim to do a 6DOF FM, but at the time they used fixxed point math.

S! Yes, I still have the box at my parents home with the big fat manual that I had to read back to back so I could understand the weapons systems. First time I managed to air-refuel was one of my proudest moments as a virtual pilot. Great sim, made by real flight engineers.
