I have the A-10c but I gotta admit looking for other A-10cs to fight does nothing for me. Looking for them while in a P-51 from 1944 will do even less. Its a good program but has serious limitations. With one or two hours a day to play I dont feel like going thru long start up lists just to upp and shoot down Helicopters.

The offline game always has a start-up cheat as to the A-10c and Ka-50.  Some online Multiplayer servers, also have the start-up cheat, depending who is hosting it.

I would think the P-51 will, too.  But it is fun starting up the Ka-50 long hand, I have it memorized, takes 5 minutes.   Ditto, the P-51 will be fun.

The Black Shark 1st edition is compatible with Flaming Cliffs 2 and all the aircraft within.  The helicopter can kill aircraft, quite well.

Guys here knock the DCS guys, they knock you guys---tribe mentality.  According to them Aces High is an arcade game.  LOL!  It is all good, but no central server, no point structure, no perk points, no capture the flag, not too many people to fight except the sheep, and I really miss being vulched.  I still die a lot, though.  :lol

I haven't seen anyone knocking guys from AH and vice versa; both games serve different audiences and do things differently for both sides of the flight sim fence. Heck several of those guys play over here quite a bit from what I know as do I.

Go read the P-51 forum...

If I have to dig farther than a title into a thread because of some idiot questioning the validity of a their version of the Mustang against the version of the Mustang here in AH then I don't need to know about it.

Different games and different levels of realism; I agree that AH is a pretty good facsimile of a simulation it isn't the best nor is it the worst. It is simply the best MMO for WW2 aircraft at this time and I hope it stays that way but things always move in cycles. DCS may never end up with 200+ players in a single server on a Friday night in 4-6 different aircraft flying against each other. If they do then that would be bad prettythang.

DCS P-51 is a lot of fun to just get in and fly around, has a great feel to it. Beautiful 3D model inside and out.
