As great as the P51 will be for the DCS universe, I can't help but feel that the F4 Phantom would have been a better choice for use in the DCS universe, as I think that the "engine" would be well suited to a jet aircraft as opposed to a piston engine aircraft.

Thoughts?

Er, if I remember correctly, Flying Legends is for WWII era aircraft or thereabouts. I'm sure the F4 Phantom does not fall into that category.

Well, it's a flying legend. I don't know that I heard it was literally to be WWII-era.

I don't think the Flying Legends title implies that only WWII will be modeled. It simply implies that the series will focus on..... well Flying Legends. as has been hinted a good start is The Fighter Collections hangar of aircraft, in any case I expect DCS to take the opportunity to model aircraft like the Phantom or Sabre or Fresco, etc......

Hell maybe a Tomcat or Crusader!!!!

I don't have any inside knowledge to where they plan to take this new series but I think its safe to say they'd go that route eventually (even if it takes ten years). Given the series is successful.

Incorrect - Flying Legends is not specific to any time period.

I see... so there's hope then!! DCS F-14 Tomcat anyone?

Mmmmm a P38 would be teh hott!3

And how about a DCS Wright Brothers Flyer?? It makes just the same sence as a P-51 in DCS

Perhaps we'll see a Camel to compete with RoF?

Personally I'd like to see a bomber. Maybe a B-58?

DCS Zeppelin!!! Now we're talking!
