A2A tries to be as faithful to the original as they can - that is what makes them so special.

I am sure that ED is teasing us - I doubt that they could afford to make a WWII fighter because that would need a whole new sim to go with it.

You know that the model for it came with A-10C don't you? They hid it in the install.

You'd think the founder/owner of lockonfiles.com wouldn't be such a "Debby downer" when it comes to ED stuff.

I know that, I also know this:



If it is not a plane anymore in their inventory, then it is one of these




my guess is Republic F-105D USAF 59-1822, which would point out to a Vietnam era sim.

Not being a "Debby downer" ... I just donīt think that it would be positive to speculate about ED doing a WWII sim based on the Lock On FC engine, I could be wrong, but I canīt see that happening.

... of course we all could be wrong and they end up releasing a Vickers Viscount ...

Its not the FC SFM engine, its the DCS engine using an AFM. They've also sold Mustang's before. The shining example being Princess Elizabeth, a P-51C:

I think its a great idea by TFC/ED. The Mustang is very iconic and public recognition of the Mustang will grow with the new "Red Tails" movie coming out soon. They (ED) will surely do a much better job with flight dynamics than anything any developer in FSX will do.

Until you see a new map, DCS is still a hybrid Lock On FC - DCS engine.

if they release a BF109 and B-17 too we all could enjoy a nice WWII flight sim, but we are again talking about a whole new flight sim.

A2A is also releasing the Mustang - then we could compare those two with ...



and have a great time doing it ... weīll have to wait a while to find out.

Note

4- The first "DCS Flying Legends" aircraft will be released in the first half of 2012.

Nobody mentioned a new sim. Just an Aircraft.

Nate

that is why I was betting on a F-105 add on, which would fit in nicely in the LOFC/DCS world, but I guess I was wrong and it will be a Mustang ...

back to work, bye

So a P-51 without a new WW2 era sim world? Is this correct?

What would be the point?

God, I would love to see a P-47 Thunderbolt. From what some of you are saying, it does sound like the Mustang. But I'm a Jug fan.

A nice set of jugs would be cool...
