For $40, I would hope that's a full title in a new location with Axis opponents than a tack-on to the current DCS universe.

I want it, but I don't want to engage MiGs in it. I'll wait for some brave soul to report back.

I'm thinking the same thing. Surely this hasn't had the same amount of work put into it as blackshark or the A-10? I mean their are practically no systems to model, compared to Blackshark and A-10.

Regarding the units, I expect a full complement of WW2 era ground and air units. If not then they have balls charging the same as they did for DCS A-10!

I'm not into prop planes or WWII era, but I will buy it as an investment to whatever future DCS developments await in the modern fighter genre.

(And for those who do like WWII era planes, I hope this develops into something more detailed and expansive).

Indeed there weren't. If you recall, release price for A-10C was $60, not $40.

For $40 I at least want to know that a proper theater and collection of appropriate friendly AI and enemy
AC are planned for down the road. WII or Korea, just let me know what the plan is.

I'm feeling better and better by the moment for sticking with my original plan to keep my money for now.
It would even be a shame in a way to go with Korea where the Mustang is relegated to mud moving, much better
to take it though it's paces in it's prime against German AC, but even Korea would be far better than the
friggin Mojave desert, Vegas, and T72's.

I'm keeping my money as well. I'm not too much into props or WWII sims but I would've given this a go if it were showcased in a proper environment. So unless the $40 includes era-specific planes and ground vehicles, the high-fidelity aircraft loses "immersion" the moment I "go to work."

It could be fun for awhile if there are enough missions packaged with friendly and enemy AI. Otherwise, it seems like it would get boring fast. It's not like you are spending days, sometimes weeks learning complex systems in a P-51. I'm curious to read some feedback from those that jumped on it early. FWIW, I purchased both the DCS Blackshark and the A-10.

Yeah it's very tempting; but I want to know what else $40 includes ATM...Although it does make me optimistic about future DCS developments! biggrin

$40 is the price of most high quality FSX add ons. What were you expecting? smile
