The P-51D is part of the Flying Legends series they are doing for DCS. Not affecting the main work with modern jets etc. but a private venture by some members as I read it. Will include other planes too, but no types announced yet I think.

Ah so this is an official project of sorts ... interesting

It would be nice if they could eventually build a WW2 aircombat sim, but I wouldn't hold my breath. They are probably knee deep working with their own genre, and don't have enough interest in going into WW2 scenarios, but maybe very interested third parties could go that route if they could get access the game engine code.

Well Flanker mentioned that is was a third party developing the add on, so I would assume ED would have very little involvement in it, they would just need to give their approval for it to use their engine I would assume. I can't access ED / SimHQ sites from work, is there any official announcement about this add on?
