No matter what, each has one point in their favor.

Not that I've seen and I run a pretty much middle of the road machine. The plane also comes in a high res and a low res version for slower machines. My specs are:

2.4 Gig
1024 Mb Ram
256 Mb GeForce card

and it runs smoothly, if it does take a bit to load the textures.

The VC in the CW plane is something to behold. It is smooth as glass and not even a hint of stutter to it. It doesn't even NEED a 2d cockpit. Now if I can just figure a way to add gun effects...

The WoP Mustang is more in line with real flying. Mind you, I have no idea how a real Mustang handles, and what the flight dynamics are like, but certain things like rudder control and spins are more like what I feel when I'm up in a Cessna. Roll Eyes

Until I can talk someone into letting me take their Mustang up for a spin, I'll never know for sure... Wink

I think the Classic warbirds looks better, So I might get it and compare flight dynamics, hours and hours of 'other games' have left me.... dying to fly, so for the boredom I think I'll add the classic to my collection! Cheers, Gunny

I have flown hours and hours with the Shockwave WoP Mustang and for now, I have never seen an FS aircraft looking so good and flying so realistic. But you really have to install the update, otherwise it's really hard to get her out of a spin.

And let us not forget to mention the incredible Packard Merlin sound! Sometimes when I don't have much time, I put FS on, take the Mustang, start the engine, taxi to the other end of the runway and shut the engine (and FS) down...just for the sound. 8)

from a visual point o view, it seem that the wop. has a nicer arc at the top of the cowl, not so flat, and the spinner is shaped better, and i like the fairing where the wing meets the fuse. i would choose this one for sure, as the subtle shapes are so important to me.....vic
