I figure the modules will either come out soon, and be little more than a patch that "connects" the titles to DCS World, or will be later and actually bring some improvements/upgrades.

I'm hoping later smile

Radar or radar... From what I recall it's more of a glorified proximity fuze, except it's not linked to a bomb.

biggrin I'm just joking obviously, but sometimes it starts to feel that way around here. rolleyes


Anyway, it looks pretty cool, but like other people have said, without a WW2 setting and enemies, I can't personally justify the $40. For $10 I may have been tempted to go chasing Frogfoots around though. biggrin

It doesn't make "sense" as a WW2 simulator, but as a simulation _of that plane_ it's awesome


This, plus

there are mods in the works


this even more biggrin Lookit those Fortesses you naysayers!

I'm surely gonna get this one when it goes v1.0 even if it costs more then - a bit wary of betas myself for various reasons.

Well spotted valleyboy!

Got your p51 yet?

I'm on my third. That's four landings. The last two are keepers!

The first two...not so good.

Not got it yet, will purchase / download when I get home, tried last night but not many seeders online, so expected download rate was 8 weeks! so decided to just shut PC down instead!

Download speed this morning was good and it only took a couple of hours here.

In-game there's some work still needed (it is obviously still a beta) but there's some nice new stuff in there too.

Particularly I noticed the pilot is more animated in external views - you can see him operating the controls.

I've not felt so intimidated by a sim before. The power of the merlin up front is just immense and ground handling needs serious thought!

The impression of flight is very nice though.
