February 11, 20188 yr Decided to take a few min to configure my controls this time... hehe Got the P51 off the ground without too much trouble, but she's a touchy little thing! The lighting (physical aircraft lighting) is a little hokey sorry. I only found the lights switches at the end after landing. And I have the heat blur and dof enabled, not sure I like it. First shots/flight from DCS 2.6 - this is all free to download, etc. I installed the sim because I'm REALLY interested in the F18 coming out.

February 11, 20188 yr Nice shots, there. I've been pretty much DCS only since 2.5 came out. It's a nice change and looks really nice. It is still in open beta and I've had trouble with crashes. Crashing may have been fixed with latest update...not sure. Still, a nice change and the missions are fun.

February 11, 20188 yr Hi Ryan, Nice set - it sure takes a steady hand to set her down on the pavement... I have yet to master her... Regards, Scott

February 11, 20188 yr Hi Ron, Thanks - I was always skeptical of the Mustang FDE - I always thought the Mustang was more one of the light models - maybe I’ll have to eat some Bangers and Mash then jump in the Spit ? I’m really waiting for the Corsair... Regards, Scott
February 11, 20188 yr Looks really good! Another choice for us simmers. 2018 is amazing! John Hubbard MSFS2020 - Win10
February 11, 20188 yr Tail dragger's are tough on take off with those huge torqued up engines,I believe You can Lock the tail wheel on the Mustang by pulling your flight stick back on takeoff,that helps..... The Spit though She's a bit different all together You need to do a "Rudder Pedal Dance" small inputs on the right/left pedal to keep her straight till you reach take-off speed.,She's Beauty and Grace once airborne 100%75%50%d8a34be0e82d98b5a45ff4336cd0dddc Patrick

As you say, in the air she's gorgeous! Landing her, just when you think you've got it nailed she'll turn round and bite yo' a.s.s. I haven't flown the P-51D for quite a while, I've been obsessed by the Spitfire and I was right, the Mustang is a sweetheart compared. I'd forgotten how to start it so that took some time but having fired her up, she taxis politely and as long as you don't throw all the coals on in one go, she takes of in a well mannered fashion. Landing using the military break proved to be enjoyable. I'll take her out again and buy her a bunch of red roses for Valentines day. Sorry Spitfire, I'm putting you up on jacks until you're fixed. Brilliant screen shots by the way. Sorry for the hijack. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

February 12, 20188 yr Agreed, DCS is an amazing simulator and fantastic for combat simulations. To see how flawed (bright) P3D night is, try flying a night combat mission in DCS. That's how night is supposed to be...dark, disorienting, and mostly black with just a few lights. But that aside, DCS just feels more immersive. I can't pin everything it is, but little things. The A-10C has been my baby and you can just feel her getting lighter as speed builds on the takeoff roll for one example. Eric Szczesniak
