I never had it - that songs pretty crap as well. God - a guy I worked with on 5 back in 70s recently posted he'd found out his wife had never seen saturday night fever - so he eagerly watched it with her (mine nearly died of shock finding I had even wasted pub time to walk to a cinema for it). When I went with him and some others in 70s I actually thought he was joking when he said he had enjoyed it and would go again! Some people got no taste.
Video - at least Phil shows his "warts" as well. About a second before he pulls trigger the low F86 tail shows fairly clearly.
Could never get any enthusiasm for that era - ww2 planes with jet engines. F86 looks nice and is nice and easy to fly. I have the mig but apart from going through the startup - never flown it. I cant see dcs making a big enough map for korea (ie similar to Falcon4.0) to do justice to 200miles to mig alley thataway. Nor anything to do it justice, same goes for vietnam, or even cold war europe (never mind ww2).
F5 is good, as is the mod2.3 putting the A4E in game (although they might be a bit ambitious with how accurate its avionics are). Old style bombing at its best. But nought beats the viggen. Fly dcs so little that sticking with easy to remember works for me with them better. Got my wife to buy the vaicom comms for it - thats pretty neat once you get head around it.
But as I dont run beta, it will be a while before I get the new update(s). The hind would appeal with its discount but it could be 6 months before it appears on release so no go, and it could be same with mossie when it surfaces, that I will buy - regardless of the idea that never need to put more than 20% fuel load to fly round the ww2 maps after waiting forever for it.
I was tempted by P47 with its cheap rate - almost, but I have used it during the freebies trial they did and it just feels like a waste of money with nought to do with it - the entertainment virtually ends with learning to take off and land reliably.
