I can tell you this mustang AI is far better than FC2 and A-10C.
It was easy to beat those two AIs but mustang AI.
In every fight I get 2 to 4 times(if im lucky) of chance to have a lead shot but I miss them most of time(LOL) and they hardly miss those chance.
Maybe I have to learn to shoot.

I like this challenging AI though, I just thought if I'm missing something to maximize performance.

oh wait, maybe I should have said "it's way harder than FC2 and A-10C's".
Im not sure new maneuver or tactics were implemented.

But I can tell you it's definitely hard to beat AI than other 2. smile

So I can download the beta and fly around with missions made in the editor without paying for a CD key?

If so I'll give it a try. Not really interested in WWII (have CloD and have not touched it) but if I get to try P-51 then maybe I might be inclined to buy it.

I'm afraid not - you will only be able to fly the Su-25T for free, the P-51 must be purchased if you want to fly it. Everything is fully functional for the Su-25T (From FC2) except Multiplayer.

Is the Su-25T fully functional? Perhaps this will allow me to test my system on the newer engine build? I currently only have FC2/BS1 so even viewing the updated engine would be a worthwhile download for me.

Actually, you can also install the P-51 and hit 'Exit' on the key activation and it shows the mission/aircraft from a 3rd party view so you can see the nice Mustang model up close. It is a great way (with the flyable Su25T) to check out how DCS World works on your system.

Yep except for Multiplayer - you only get that after purchasing one of BS2/A-10/P-51.

Thanks for the reply. I am assuming Flaming Cliffs 3 will be integrated into DCS World?

I actually don't know - but I'd be surprised if it wasn't.
