DCS: P-51D bailing out animation

ED doesn't want create a WW2 Sim, but with the help of 3rd party developer maybe we will see other WW2 aircrafts or ground veicles.

For example, the first aircraft developed by 3rd party is the Mig-21. You can see it here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=87621

Maybe I'm really OT now...

I have just looked at there site and I read this >>

>> A powerful yet easy-to-use mission editor allows you to create your own missions and campaigns. A one-click Mission Generator also allows you to instantly create battles as small or large as you wish.<<

So I am right in thinking that you will be up against modern warfare? If that's the case how are you suppose to survive in these one click mission generators? Not sure I can buy a game on the hope that someone out there will build World War 2 models and weapons.. Wouldn't that be a bit like waiting for the patch in this game, it will be months or even years away.

When I bought COD I've expected something like DCS: P51d is. In beta state it's stable, flight sensation is exceptional. With my PC I can get decent FPS and flying experience, which is not a case with COD.

DCS is not exactly looking good at all. It's like comparing apples and bananas. And yes, Blackshark performed horribly on my machine, similar to CloD when it came out. Never really touched it again ever since...

look at the vivid colors, the dynamic lightning, the subtle gestures while the other P51 is like vomiting the pilot after a binge drinking

[mcmatt]

What's the use of vivid colour, dynamic lightning when flying is choppy. COD shows me more FPS than I have in DCS but is almost non playable. And I'm not comparing how it something performed back some time. I compare now, on same computer. I still believe that COD will be almost as good as IL2 in it's time. But now it is not.

Sincerly, I've bought DCS: A-10C some months ago and I've loved immediately that Flight Sim. I was fascinated for the extreme level of detail of the 3D model, cockpit, FM, DM, and the complexity of the avionic.

When ED announced the P-51D, I've thought that this is a good proof to test the hard flight model of that plane. I've purchased the game and installed quickly... Finally I've found a very good simulation of a warbird!

You are right about waiting for the WW2 models and weapons, but I prefer to fly only an aircraft instead waiting a patch that delays the release.

This is my opinion, because I've bought IL-2 COD since it was in preorder and until today I've played with that only 30 minutes... It is very sad!
I hope the patch will be released soon.

The only problem about the DCS is the prize. You shall pay $39.99 for every single flyable aircraft. And if ED develped all the aircrafts in IL2 series, it would need more than 300 years.

I don't care about it. If I have to bail out, the game is over. Why waste time and effort on the feature??

I've just tested the bail out animation in the P-51 while flying inverted, it's the same as if I was flying straight. Looks a little bit silly, but if I really have to bail out I don't care what animation is being used, usually I just hope to survive

Oh wow. Why should devs bother implementing landing mechanics at all? If you have to land - the game is over anyway.
