"High Fidelity modelling" DCS: P-51D Mustang $39.99

No, you've lost a fair few initital customers on that price no doubt (the community I play with, nobody bought it), I paid that price for a fully fledged sim, I'm not doing that for what is essentially a model/addon to an existing product, you could've had a bundle for non existing customers and an upgrade for existing.

As I see it, you're(dcs) now milking it.

Note the Warthog was $60 on release and then the price came down - but I do understand what your saying - at the end of the day it up to you whether it is worth your hard earned cash.

sorry - as big a DCS fan as I am - I really don't get this addon

a few WWII tanks and a few enemy aircraft perhaps - but no enemy aircraft seems bizarre

I can't envisage any real challenging missions - what are you going to fly against ?

No promises.... but the demand is not being ignored.

I'm happy to announce my first independent 3rd party module - "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed". This new module development is based on the new 3rd party License agreement/support that was previously announced by TFC/Eagle Dynamics. I plan to release MiG-21Bis later in 2012.

The MiG-21Bis is considered a third-generation, supersonic, jet fighter. It's avionics equipment ensures day and night operations in fair and poor weather conditions. Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The MiG-21 broke a number of aviation records and it is still the most produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history.

"DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed" includes both Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground capabilities that includes various conventional weapons like missiles, rockets, bombs, and a built in 23mm cannon. "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed" will also use less widely known weapons such as some advanced air-to-surface guided missiles, retarded and general purpose bombs, and some special devices.


Features of the "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed":

• Highly detailed six-degrees-of-freedom cockpit with dynamic shadows. Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse like previous DCS products.
• Accurate airframe and realistic 3D cockpit model.
• Detailed modeling of the MiG-21Bis instruments, navigation, electrical, radar, engine, fuel, and weapon systems.
• Russian and English cockpit texts and hints

• Improved and more realistic airplane behaviors that are based on real MiG-21Bis pilot tests and instruction.
• More than a twenty high detailed aircraft skin with unique stencil texts.
• More than a dozen new deliverable weapon.


"DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed” is developed by Laszlo 'beczl' Becz in association with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics. Further information will be provided as development progresses. I will be providing Work In Progress (WIP) screenshots, videos, and other product information.

Excellent news for the flying community .....
...... now if they had only came up with the core idea 4 years ago I wonder
how many 3rd party addons we would have by now ?
 
Interesting, but the million dollar question is how good will the MiG-21 Flight Model be? Beczl already released MiG21 mod plane for LockOn - but it was based on "standard" FM of F-16. Will ED make "Advanced" FM for MiG21 themselves?
