http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=84480Wags: The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics will release their next Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) aircraft in 2012: the legendary P-51D Mustang. The Mustang was among the best and most well-known fighters used by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Possessing excellent range and manoeuvrability, the P-51 operated primarily as a long-range escort fighter and also as a ground attack fighter-bomber with bombs, rockets, and machine guns. The Mustang served in nearly every combat zone during WWII, and later fought in the Korean War. The DCS: P-51D Mustang will be modelled at the same exacting detail as the existing Ka-50 Black Shark and A-10C Warthog Digital Combat Simulation (DCS) aircraft and it will be online compatible with them. Based on many years of restoring, flying and maintaining Mustangs, The Fighter Collection brings its unique ability to portray this aircraft in its full glory. The P-51D will be the first aircraft in the Flying Legends series that focuses on historical aircraft that have set benchmarks in combat aviation. This series of simulations demonstrates the broad scope of DCS simulation environment and its ability to introduce aircraft from all eras into a common simulation environment. While the P-51D started as an internal technology demonstration, it has evolved into an independent product that adds an all new dimension to the DCS universe. The development of the P-51D and other Flying Legends series aircraft definitely does not preclude the continued development of modern aircraft. More details of DCS: P-51D Mustang will be made available closer to product release later this year. More information, visit: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com About The Fighter Collection The Fighter Collection, as well as developing software for the entertainment and serious game markets, also operates, rebuilds and maintains Europe's largest collection of airworthy WWII fighters and is based at Duxford Airfield, in the UK.

A nice P-51 sounds awesome to me

Sounds a little goofy, but it's their nickel.

I wonder if they can make a full game out of it because I am not going to pay full price for an addon plane that will get it's butt kicked in MP my every other player and AI sam site.

Not interested. I was looking forward to their next release being modern. We have enough good WWII sims. We do NOT have enough good modern sims.

With that, they need some new terrain to fly "realistic" missions over, plus some new WWII AI aircraft, and some new WWII AI air threats too. Will see how they do with the "environment" before I jump in.
