(Yawn)

You've got MS Flight, X-Plane 10 coming out so I think that base is covered.

Its gotta be the Mustang though. Can you think of a more iconic WW2 fighter that is as marketable as the Mustang? (Guarantee someone from the UK will put something in here about the Spitfire...)

I agree that the Mustang is an excellent choice, built by North American Aviation originaly as a fighter bomber for the Royal Air Force, once equipped with an licenced American built British engine it showed it's true colours (or should that be colors..)


Still, for the purists it has to be a Spitfire...

The D perhaps but don't think the B is as iconic. Also depends on the market. Ofc the US market will favour the Mustang, EU will probably say the 109/Spitfire as the most iconic WW2 fighter. I'd be happy with any of the 3 up to DCS standards. You Hogs and Sharks better watch out!

Personaly I'd like to see the Mosquito in the mix as well.

I myself am hoping its more of a release like Lock On was. Multiple planes and good flight models.

As much as I like kit-bashing designs in the plane builder - Austin Meyer's wouldn't do the same quality of job as ED would. I'd love an Mi-8 (assuming there weren't any air defenses!).

Not to put a damper on things . . . but what exactly will one do with a P-51/Spit/109 in a DCS universe? Is this comging with its own WW2 environment, or are we to be reenacting a reverse Final Coutdown?

Remember the russian market...a P-39 Airacobra perhaps, as owned by FLying Legends, to continue the ground attack theme of ED's recent years.

What WOULD be useful, and fit easily in the current world, would be a training jet and training syllabus along the lines of Captain Sim's original 'Combat Pilot'.
I'd buy it in an instant, even if it was a Russian plane (e.g. L-39 as in CP).
Not exactly a Flying Legend though...

I'd also really like a civilian Helo to complement Black Shark, again would fit easily in the current world, but with Take On Helicopter out they probably wont bother.

Cheers
