I bought the A2a P51D a few days ago. From my real world taildragger experience and assuming the A2A P51D sets a new standard I now consider the DCS mustang to be a long way from finished.
The A2A spitfire was already a joy to fly but not easy, the P51D is even easier, a little more stable and fine to land without bouncing.
Compared to the DCS P51 (sim mode): this one ground loops way too easy as if the wheels have no friction on the runway and the aircraft no mass. During take-off the ground looping is wrong as with tail up the centre of gravity shifts forward and engine torque only should take over. The aircraft should never turn 90 degrees side ways with the pull of the engine in front and the prop wash along the tail and rudder. In the air the constant moving of the nose in all directions with good trim without stick input seems strange. Reducing all these effects by 80% would be much more realistic in my opinion. Landing is comparable to the A2A P51.
The DCS can be flown but I find the FSX A2A mustang much more enjoyable.
