Well it seems this module business is moving up. 3rd developer - DCS MIG21BIS

That's huge news and very exciting to be planned so quickly. I may yet get my DCS Harrier GR7 in my lifetime!

It wasn't as much planned so quickly as it was in development and you guys didn't know ...

So what you're really saying is that the DCS Harrier II is definitely next and you read it first on SimHQ. Cheers!



Congrats on the DCS World - it's looking great so far.

Now THAT I am excited about.

Looks like I may have to get P-51 after all...is it needed?

DCS:World is needed as an install (which is free), obtainable as a download here:

P-51 module is extra and as a consequence you needn't worry about it at all. It is however bags of fun so it's up to you. As said, DCS:World is however a necessity.

Yep, I had DCS world running and the SU-25T flying before purchasing the P-51 module

Can I ask - with this "DCS world" the impression I got from the image of the Mig-21 (which looked stunning) is that you can fly any aircraft that this company make (and 3rd party devs produce) in a world with any others aircraft. So for example, if I owned P-51, I could jump on a server that may have A-10s and Mig-21s and KA-50s?

Is that the general idea? Because if it is, it is excellent news (Mircoprose hoped for something similar with Gunship!).

Again - I need to read more at DCS forums.

I am very much looking forward to that Mig-21 and whilst I'm not a propellor head and can't really get excited about props, I would love to take down a Black Shark with one :-)

Cheers

I've just read this on the P-51 page

"Fly online with built-in server browser that supports up to 32 players in both head-to-head and cooperative gameplay. Fly online with other DCS aircraft like the Black Shark and the A-10C Warthog."

Brilliant news!

BillyRiley, you can connect to any server that has a seat for the plane you have a license for. So if you have a license for P-51, and the server has P-51 slots, you can fly there. Whether there are also slots for planes you don't have is irrelevant in the context - you'll just not be able to fly _those_ planes.

Think of it like what RoF does.
