You think that Mk IX will make you an absolute winner?
I have bad news for those who consider P-51 too stick sensitive and thus prone to stall...
As Spitfire has neutral stability there is only 3/4" of stick travel to stall as it was reported by NACA. Really silk hands or full scale joystick required...
It will be no mercy, hardcore only - all will be as Mitchell designed.

Ouch. As much as it's totally realistic, I hope it'll also be fun to fly with a desktop HOTAS.

I love it. But then I think the DCS:P-51 handles just fine.

The P-51 handles great in pitch and roll. In fact it's just as truck-like as the real thing (By acounts of friends). The P-51 comes off the rails (IMO) in yaw at low speeds. Normally isn't a problem if you keep the tail down until high speed on take off and avoid other low speed yaw errors. I've spent a bunch of time trying to figure out how its wrong (if it's wrong) and I can't prove it unequivacably. There just seems to be a lack of vertical stability along with an undercount of prop slipstream effects over the tail.

It seems the best effort yet at simulating a P-51. Pilots talk of having to work the rudder all the time to counter torque and that's just what you have to do. Imagine doing that for 8 hours on a mission to Japan and back to Iwo Jima.

Hoping the Spit FM is equally challenging and not a sop to those who want it to be like war thunder. I assume that given the Mk IX and the P-51D essentially share the same power plant it should be an equally quirky beast.

That makes me want to see the mass differences in aircraft, I would Imagine the Spit is lighter and smaller. Would think that would make it even more of a handful.

sounds like it will be very difficult to fly.

Fixed that for you


DCS Kickstarter
Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable."
Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

OK. But "Luthier's" is just short form for all this. wink

Despite know his "tradition" of unfinished products - Pacific Fighters, CloD - I give him some credit in this misadventure, and end for now, with 3 DCS planes at price of ~1.5. Not bad. smile

My finger keeps hovering over the buy button, then I realise I haven't started up DCS for 12 months! Maybe when the map's released...

The amount of credit I give luthier could just about get you a bag of chips, if they're on sale.

His coding/modding skills notwithstanding, the guy couldn't successfully lead a bunch of rocks downhill.

The Mark IX is one of the AC I'm owed from the kickstarter - since that still seems to be in place, that motivated my recent re-do/upgrade of DCS. I guess I'll wait and see on the P-47 and Me-262.
