DCS: P-51D Mustang

So how does it fly compared to Aces High's pony? I'd check it out myself but I'm saving my money for something that goes a little faster.

(apologies if I missed a thread about this already)

More convincing and realistic feeling flight model - it flys very nicely. The most notable difference is the takeoff and landings. Really well done package, flight model, 3d model is beautiful, sounds great and the cockpit/systems functionality is excellent.

They to have the lighting backwards. When viewing the sun, the inside of the cockpit should get darker, not brighter, to account for a realtime viewers iris closing (see time 2:57).

And the real important factor to remember is that a human's iris does not close nor open instantly.

Good catch.  Although it does get darker the longer you look toward the sun in game, just takes it a second to "stop down" - like you say the iris doesn't react instantly. I think that glimpse was too quick to have it close.

I changed my mind, I'll be getting it tomorrow. We shall see if that plane can handle me.
