P51D training

If I purchase DCS World 2, Normandy 1944 and the P51D is training included? Or do I need to Install 1.5 and use the included P51 to get the training?

Ken

you have 5 training missions

but with the other missions created for ( Normandy and P-51 )

you have a good job to do ; and for a certain time

just the time to wait for the announced campaign coming next.

Not the p51d, but the Tf-51 is included by default, and good enough to train and adapt to the ED / DCS style :-)

Indeed, I think however, that OP asks specifically about tutorial missions on Normandy map. I haven't checked but I don't think there are any?

There are only a handful of single ("instant") Normandy missions for all warbirds, but for tutorials, 1.5.xx with Caucasus map is still needed (not to mention the free TF-51 doesn't have any tutorial missions available in any version).

Hi,

The P-51D Training and Challenge Campaign are written for ["theatre"] = "Caucasus" and will work at time only with DCS 1.5

The P-51D module installation under DCS 2 comes along with the installation of the Training and Challenge Campaign - but they are not visible in the corresponding menues - due lack of the Caucasus MAP in DCS 2

Hello 1coroner aka Ken

Unless you have a SMOKIN' Video Card and PC I recommend you stick with DCS 1.5 (which can be demanding enough).

This will help avoid Frame Rate issues so you can study flight without issue.

Furthermore, you get the TF-51 with it for free (and frequent Sales offer the P-51 very reasonably priced).

And if you need help with training, there are many here that will offer to help online (including myself who you are welcome to PM).

PS> I have a really good PC and a really good video card, but it still isn't enough to appreciate DCS World 2 (Nevada) and definitely can't enjoy the WW2 map until I invest another $600-$1000 on a better/recommended video card.

Thanks for the advise guys .... I appreciate it. So I just installed DCS 1.5 and bought the P51D at half price. I have an i7-7700K (at 4.5GHz) and a GTX1080 so I'm hoping I can get reasonable framerates.

that will run DCS quite well.

Ya you shouldn't have ANY probs with DCS 1.5 or 2

Pretty much my setup, and I run everything on ultra settings, and I get no less than 80 FPS at all times, on any terrain. You will be more than okay.

I'm on an i5 2500, 3,3Ghz, and GTX 960 4 GB graphics card, and 1.5.7 open beta gives me solid 60 fps most of the time.

Of course I am not at max graphical settings, but still at a very nice level of quality.

DCS is a very optimized flight simulation, specially having in mind all of the stuff being calculated in the background apart from just the flight dynamics of the aircraft you're flying...
