I just like the F86 a long time ago we used to fly on that server Phil was on,
it’s not a bad server using the caucuses map as Korea. Flown the Mig as well
it’s a nice aircraft, they are jets that are not too hard to learn like the
props, compared to the modern jets and weapon systems.
Yeah maps are a issue the only longer range maps are the Persian gulf and
Syria, the Korea and a bigger Europe map would be nice. I like the idea of the
Mossie, F4U, and Apache, maybe when I get a 3080 or 4080 LOL.

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.
