Quote: Current A-10C and BS2 keys will be accepted by World after the next patches to make these World modules Excellent. Does that mean a redownload and reinstall< or can they be imported?

Keithb77 Member Registered: 11/30/99 Posts: 1524 Loc: UK	Hmmm - the prop blades are much more visible on the FW...I think the FW BMW runs 10% slower than the Merlin, which could make a difference...nah I'm sure its real, well DCS-real anyway. The interesting thing about the current Mustang v Mustang dogfights is that all the videos I've seen (not many) are 'turn and squirm' rather than 'boom and zoom'. Because turning is fun and zooming gets boring. The Mustang was much more of a high-level and vertical fighter and doesn't turn as well as some other planes. If we do get true adversaries I forsee a lot of grief about 'uber xxxx's whipping Ponies in dogfights... Something to beware of. Cheers Keith

ATAG_Snapper Member Registered: 02/01/01 Posts: 1601 Loc: Kitchener, Ontario, Canada	Lengthy downloads but everything installed smoothly with no issues. Initial impressions: Runs extremely well on my system at 1920 x 1080 native resolution and all details turned up. Cockpit looks very good, seems to be as detailed as A2A's WPO3 Spitfire cockpit. All peripherals recognized in Controls section (Warthog HOTAS needed its TARGET software running to be recognized) TrackIR 5 works perfectly Instructional Missions very good -- especially start up Take off is difficult --lots of torque Landing is difficult -- lousy pilot 1 vs 1 dogfight is fun if you don't mind losing Terrain is very good, if drab Water looks good - not as good as CoD IMHO; better than FSX with REX plug in Frame rates good for the limited play I've done; some slowdown at zero alt flying sometimes; other times very smooth. Need to suss out why. Explosions look good Tires are orange LOL (Yeah, I know, beta version) Worth forty bucks? Yes! Looking forward to final (retail) version and hopefully campaigns and other a/c & theatres of operations. _________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My system: i7 920 @ 2.67 MHZ, Win 7 64-bit, 12 Gig DDR3, Gigabyte GTX 680 2 Gig, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, CH Quadrant, CH Pedals, Track IR 5

Para_Bellum Oberkriegkaboomführer Hotshot Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 6475 Loc: Germany	Just flew the P-51 for 2-3 hours, I'm really impressed by the level of detail and the general 'feeling' of the aircraft. I see myself spending a lot of time with this beauty! _________________________ "...late afternoon the Air Tasking Order came in [and] we found the A-10 part and we said, "We are going where!?

Freycinet Veteran Registered: 04/15/02 Posts: 13361	Slightly worrying that you all seem to manage to fly it quite easily. Wasn't engine management supposed to be really hard? In CoD most users absolutely do not manage to fly with Complex Engine Management turned on unless they really read up on it... _________________________ My Il-2 CoD movie web site: www.flightsimvids.com

Para_Bellum Oberkriegkaboomführer Hotshot Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 6475 Loc: Germany	Nothing to worry about. The main difference between CloD and DCS:P-51 with regards to "accessibility" is that the latter actually comes with excellent documentation and interactive training missions that do a fine job of teaching new pilots the operation of the aircraft and that the Mustang is simply a quite advanced aircraft that reduces the pilots' workload with a number of automatic systems. _________________________ "...late afternoon the Air Tasking Order came in [and] we found the A-10 part and we said, "We are going where!?

FearlessFrog Senior Member Registered: 01/08/09 Posts: 4328 Loc: Vancouver, BC	Actually, there is no heat management in the P-51 at the moment - part of being a beta, and why people are flying at the max just for now..
