The million dollar question is just how much better is the physics modelling in DCS P-51 compared to IL2 and Il2:CLoD scripted efforts.
Easy to say,
far better ???. I haven't fly it yet, but only seeing the videos is pretty evident physics in general and much closer to real wolrd than any Il-2. I always had a weird feeling on Il-2 about that, after years of simming you get used to it, but now I fly a real aircraft and seeing the videos, that demos over airfield, that movements, that inertias
, that landings... that's a real aircraft mate, Il-2, or CloD it's the same for the subject, are simply crap in that. DCS engine is far (far far away) better on that and CloD (the new from 1C) probably could never match that simply because "they have to rewrite the source code", but well, we know may be they do that in two weeks
. And not only physics, even the point of view in Il-2 is weird, now seeing DCS point of view in a P-51 you can say that's what you see on the real aircraft, and the feeling of altitude over ground, it's the weirdest thing on Il-2, nothing to do with real life (on that FS always beated IL-2 by far), now see the video and "feel" how aircraft leaves ground from cockpit... It's simply gorgeous... and that's the real thing.
It's a shame you only have one aircraft (but I have seen the first mod, a Fw-190...), and probably they don't want to compete with 1C, but DCS engine is far better now we can compare prop to prop and would be a great WWII sim if they start it.
S!
