DCS: P-47D-30 Discussion

Recommended Posts

Germany used a number of allied captured vehicals during the war, including P-47s, Mustangs, Spitfires, B17s and a few others, as for tanks and ground vehicals, KV series were used, t-34s, a few half tracks, churchil and matilda tanks iirc.

 

as for load testing im sure there is likely a forumla that can be used after static load testing is done, seeing as the pressure at a given altitude can be recorded they could likely apply such a formula to figure out pressure exerted per surface area at a height and then compare to the static tests to failure.

 

that being said im no aviation engineer and only hold a ppl and looked at how aircraft are built.

"I knew about the Spitfire but not about the Mustang."

 

Again, the Mustang photo was taken during the making of a Hollywood film where they used some Air Guard P-51's as Messerschmidt 109's. It wasn't taken during the war.

Probably right for this picture. But Luftwaffe did use P51.

There was an evaluation squadron where all captured plane were repaired and tested. Don't remember which one, but a great german aces used to go to the airfield where those plane were placed and often fly them to understand what they can and can't do.

 

Zirkus Rosarius. Hans Werner Lerche mentions it in his book.

There are plenty of websites for that sort of thing. No need to look for it here.

 

Oh wait you meant the P-47.... Nevermind :music_whistling:

I'll never tire of beautiful Jug footage. However, as with the DCS P-47, there're no substitutes for the real thing. :music_whistling:

^ I recall Nick said in the interview there would be only 4 skins available for release, didn't he? I wouldn't count on unusual / less popular ones getting in then (even though personally, whenever PTO or SEAC skins become available, these are the only ones I'm going to use :D).

 

I suspect they'll follow the business model proven with Anton, i.e. just make 3-4 skins initially, throw a template, announce a community skinning competition, implement their skins later.

Yes, Nick stated in an interview they rely on community to make the skins. And I think thats working quite nicely.
