That's huge news and very exciting to be planned so quickly. I may yet get my DCS Harrier GR7 in my lifetime!

It wasn't as much planned so quickly as it was in development and you guys didn't know ...

DCS:World is needed as an install ( which is free), obtainable as a download here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/in...135&lang=enP-51 module is extra and as a consequence you needn't worry about it at all. It is however bags of fun so it's up to you. As said, DCS:World is however a necessity.

Yep, I had DCS world running and the SU-25T flying before purchasing the P-51 module
Cheers

Can I ask - with this "DCS world" the impression I got from the image of the Mig-21 (which looked stunning) is that you can fly any aircraft that this company make (and 3rd party devs produce) in a world with any others aircraft. So for example, if I owned P-51, I could jump on a server that may have A-10s and Mig-21s and KA-50s?
Is that the general idea? Because if it is, it is excellent news (Mircoprose hoped for something similar with Gunship!).
Again - I need to read more at DCS forums.
I am very much looking forward to that Mig-21 and whilst I'm not a propellor head and can't really get excited about props, I would love to take down a Black Shark with one :-)
Cheers

I've just read this on the P-51 page
"Fly online with built-in server browser that supports up to 32 players in both head-to-head and cooperative gameplay. Fly online with other DCS aircraft like the Black Shark and the A-10C Warthog."
Brilliant news!

BillyRiley, you can connect to any server that has a seat for the plane you have a license for. So if you have a license for P-51, and the server has P-51 slots, you can fly there. Whether there are also slots for planes you don't have is irrelevant in the context - you'll just not be able to fly _those_ planes.
Think of it like what RoF does.

Knowing what I know now, it's likely I'll buy the P-51 now.
Having not kept up to date with the series or DCS forums (something I'm actively trying to remedy now) I thought it was a stand alone game. Now that you can fly it with other aircraft around - I'm pretty positive about the whole thing now.

Yeah - reading up on it, I'm impressed and if it ever comes to fruition (I'm being cautious here because of Microprose), then I will be a very happy simmer!
I've just bought P-51 now! I'm gonna setup a mission where a P-51 is fighting a BS or A-10C - can I do that in the mission editor?

I would love them to implement some Wild Weasels, nothing better than going up against the SAMS in a knife fight

F-18,
F-14,
A-7,
F-16,
F-15
and at least 5 other jets from the late 60s early 70s are already �done�, just waiting for DCS to go Gold and some other things.
