You can download and install those modules into DCS:-World - if you already have Warthog and Black Shark activated, you can fly straight away in DCS:-World.
EDIT:- A-10 and Ka-50 Modules are due soon*

*Soon is any time before the end of civilisation. I figure the modules will either come out soon, and be little more than a patch that "connects" the titles to DCS World, or will be later and actually bring some improvements/upgrades. I'm hoping later

It doesn't make "sense" as a WW2 simulator, but as a simulation _of that plane_ it's awesome This, plus there are mods in the works this even more Lookit those Fortesses you naysayers! I'm surely gonna get this one when it goes v1.0 even if it costs more then - a bit wary of betas myself for various reasons.

Not got it yet, will purchase / download when I get home, tried last night but not many seeders online, so expected download rate was 8 weeks! so decided to just shut PC down instead!

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? )

And if modders can make a B17 they can presumably make some AI targets?
Quite possibly. That is a very nice looking FW-190 model.

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 Keith

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, I'm maybe getting it. 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 :-). Cheers Keith

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.
