I bought the P51D the minute it was announced and it is worth every penny! Uncheck the autorudder and set options to 0% takeoff help and do some takeoffs and landings, really nice one ED!

Well I'm definitely not getting it...
Whats the point of flying a Mustang around 1990's Russia?
Though that RAF skin would be a bonus.
And it's got a proper cockpit, which makes it it worth at least 5 times a Microsoft Flight UFO with a Mustang shape.
And I can blow up trucks and trains, so should be able to make vaguely reasonable 'Korea' missions.
Still got that copy of The Hunters on my bookshelf, unread...
And if modders can make a B17 they can presumably make some AI targets?
Bed-check Charlie should be easy using an AN-2 (Can I do an AI AN-2?)

OK, I'm maybe getting it.

Quite possibly.

Just spent the last 2 hours flying this thing.

Just shut up and get it.

It's freaking awesome.

Downloaded it last night, will install it today. Provided the download is OK (not corrupted) I'm going to fork out the 40 bucks to activate it and give it a try.

Perspective: I fly Cliffs of Dover online -- a lot -- and get huge enjoyment out of that, despite all its many faults. That set me back $59 -- the video card alone that I got for it cost me ten times that. Just got A2A Wings of Power 3 Spitfire which I love for its tremendous in-cockpit detail. Here I spent megabucks buying FSX, A2A Spitfire + Accusim, REX, UTX-Canada, GEX.... all for a plane with no guns!!!!! LOL

So 40 lousy bucks ain't a lot to encourage companies like ED to jump in on the WW2 theatre with a QUALITY product. (Jason -- are you listening? )

That is a very nice looking FW-190 model.

Missing a little something on the tail...
I'm not too bothered by absolute rivet-counting accuracy, but still...

Presumably these models override an existing model (like the FA-18 did for Lock-On) so what would this map onto, and what would it fly like?
Or is DCS World an extensible open-architecture now?

Cheers

DCS World now supports the addition of new world entities without having to replace existing ones. Some of this is still WIP, but you can already see examples in the Mods folder of the install.

OK, so I got it...

Excellent, my takeoffs exceed my landings by a significant number...

Went under my first bridge, no landing needed after that flight, bent the props so zoomed for height and baled.
Canopy jettison seemed a bit jet age, chute opened just before splat-down.

The AI didn't fight back in the tutorial mission, but that was probably deliberate. Will try creating some missions tonight.

Expensive considering the width of content, but worth it considering the depth.
However $40 per aircraft is going to get expensive, OK maybe for full detail flyables, but we really need a set of 'external only' adversary and friendly aircraft that should be bundled free.

Also a trifle concerned to see Black Shark and A-10C links as 'to be purchased' in DCS World as I have both of those already, hopefully the integration will be a free patch (even if just for beta customers :-).

To ensure you are experiencing the full effects of the FM, make sure the Auto-rudder and Takeoff Assist options are disabled in the Options>Special (P-51D) menu.

Current A-10C and BS2 keys will be accepted by World after the next patches to make these World modules.
