DCS World: Christen Eagle II by Magnitude 3 LLC | First Impressions 

You troll. Great intro 😂😂

Give this Eagle 2 a single AIM-9x

Great intro made me laugh, thanks for the review appreciate the time making it. Not for me since i do not do any acrobatics but i'm sure it will be perfect for those who wish to more away from the jet planes and into easy prop aircraft. I can all so see it been used for younger pilots new to flight sims that have no experience in flying as a stepping stone into perhaps the Yak and more complex aircraft with the added function of a parent showing them what to do or keep them out of trouble in the backseat. Since DCS is trying to entice new players into the genre of flight sims with the upcoming "Modern air combat" (some time soon we hope) i can see that it has it's place, not everyone owns or wishes to purchase xplane,fsx or any other civilian platform.

Also you can’t really be mad at them adding the Yak-52 since it DID have a military variant fitted with two of those Russian rockepaods

Well considering that air combat maneuvering is essentially just aerobatics boiled down to it's rawest, most practical and purposeful state, I'd argue that adding an aerobatics plane is a perfectly logical addition to DCS. If adding Swifts, Russian Knights, and Blue Angels liveries are fine, then why not a pure aerobatic plane?

I don't mind this at all. Heck, DCS already has Combat Aircraft that are barely fit for combat, so why not have a few stunt planes too ?

In the real aircraft, the lower wing uses the vertical brace to transfer it's load to the upper wing. So it would loose it's structural integrity without the top wing. The wing would thus collapse.

I love how you even put a modern USAF skin on it

Mate its 5am im still gonna watch it

I find it quite funny, that we can have unarmed trainer aircraft, the unarmed Yak-52, very high rated missions for the huey doing civilian hauling jobs, aerobatic squadrons who get top votes for their videos, but this little module here gets such a shitstorm. If you don't like it, just don't buy it. And who are you to dictate the developers which aircraft they are allowed to implement? Leave the guys who have fun flying this their fun, and go back to your F-18. Let me tell you one more thing, last days I saw screenshots of an F-35 mod. THIS doesn't belong into DCS. End of rant.

This module isn't for me. But I have absolutely no objection what so ever to it being in DCS. I've never understood the entitled bitching that comes from parts of our community. They had their way with VEAO. And they will no doubt scare other developers away in DCS's life time. It is so easy to simply not buy a module you aren't interested in rather than complaining endlessly about it. The way I see it is that developers should make whichever aircraft they wish to make. This should guarantee that a bit of love and passion will go into said project and that can only be a good thing. Now if somebody would kindly make us an Tornado GR4 so that we can blast through some valleys stupidly low at 600mph+, that'd be awesome ;)

this have been one of the best entertaining video about DCS ever so far at least for me

Give the crew Desert Eagles and it's just as well armed as the O-1 Bird Dog (EDIT: I meant L-4 Grasshopper, thanks Andrew!)! And nobody can argue that the Bird Dog (still L-4) wasn't a warplane, since it secured the last air-to-air victory of the European Theater of WWII by downing a Storch with a maneuver kill.

I think a V-22 would be an interesting addition.

Great video mags, I don’t know about anyone else but there are times I love to jump into DCS and just fly. It’s relaxing and fun, this is the perfect aircraft to do it in, it can pull off a metric butt ton of maneuvers that my jets just can’t. I personally thinks it’s a wonderful addition to the game.

This gives me hope for A-1H or A-1J Skyraider. Although Short Sunderland mk III, V or even IV would be a nice change in pace for the prop era planes.

Flew it Wednesday night (the release day!) Yes, she's twitchy because... well, my hands are. Took a few moments to calm down and feel how insanely responsive she is. Snap rolls, knife edges, inverted, loops... Haven't tried a lomcevak yet. Totally in love with the CE2!!!!!

"Twitchy as fuck" Australian technical term to describe responssive flihgt control input. Nice vid thanks Magz. I'm going to get the CE II because I found the Yak-52 "stick and pedals flying" way more fun than I expected! This looks like more of tha same.

One glaring ommission to the flight model is the utter lack of adverse yaw on takeoff; hope that gets fixed next week. Also the sounds could stand improvement.

id kill for it to get a dual maxim option in the future, imagine the shenanigans

This looks like the BEST intro airplane for VR and friends! (bring barfbags..)

Hey IronArmenian, where you at??? Try to out-madlad this madladdery.

The shudder at 2:56, did the plane interact with the scenery or PC frame drop?

When does the F-111F with Pave Tack pod come out??

As much as I'd love to see the Herc in DCS I feel like it's maybe just a bit too big for the size of maps we have. If they expanded Caucasus to have up too Sevastapol, or somehow made a merged version of the Persian Gulf with the upcoming Middle-Eastern map covering Lebanon, Israel and or Jordan then it'd make more sense. Otherwise there's not really all too much a large aircraft like the Herc can do, besides paradrops and things like dropping aid. Something a tad smaller, like the Transall C160 would perhaps make a tad more sense and at the very least be a pleasant stepping stone to maybe seeing the C-130 in the future . . . . as long as it's the C-130H from the RAF.

i don't "mind" civvie a/c in DCS cannot wait for the corsair! day-1 buy for sure...

Outstanding review. Many thanks Magz. Nick

You can read all the documentation you can find, but creating a believable flight model takes some serious CFD work. So far this module isn't quite there. The twitchiness seems to be due to weird inertia modeling (as if it barely has any mass to it, or the air is a bit too viscous). Try doing a Lomcovak or the tumbling maneuver from the manual (almost the same thing) and see for yourself just how sketchily it behaves...

Totally agree. Even tho it probably isnt for me I can see why somebody would love it. DCS is, by my opinion, The flight simulator of today thanks to its details and flight models, so its understandable people from non combat sims would love to try this level of detail, hence more non combat airplanes. And what is the problem? Everybody can enjoy a relaxing flight around? I just bought a jak-52 and I am hooked just by the pure sense of flight. And also if it brings money/people to the sim so why the hell not?

Thanks for the vid! Speaking of trainers, ever thought of covering the C-101 now that is has its new flight model and weapons?

I agree, develop anything you want but keep quality as high or higher than other modules. The only negative could be low quality modules bringing DCS down. Other than that the more the merrier! Also DCS needs a large bomber or cargo aircraft!

This could have been a plane for VEAO Simulations to practise some flight modelling and developing.

im perfectly fine with civ aircraft being in DCS. They are a fun change of pace and super fun to fly.

At first I thought it was some sort of a joke. I'm glad to find it is not. :D This thing looks like a lot of fun.

Dont tease me with that Tomcat Magz, I'm already struggling with Tomcat Withdrawl as is!

insted of the c130 how about the caribou (it was used to great effect by the raaf)

now we need some gliders, the Me 163 will do!

i don't see any harm in putting civilian aircrafts in DCS

DCS does WW1… hopefully

That intro 👌👌👌👌

I am way behind seeing this.... Wow, I want this myself now :)

Christen Eagle II Aggressor squadron reporting for duty!

Did you find any real documentation? Ionly found manuals for rc model aircraft. If you found a real flight manual I would really appreciate a link :)

I’d love to see a PC-9 in dcs.

Not my cup of tea but more interested in that than the Yak 52

It is acctually already available

Lol, that was pretty cool , I see what you did there, good job! I get what you're saying, I personally, want nothing to do with it, in fact, I've never even messed with the T-51 that's free in DCS. That said, as long as they keep things separate I see no problems in having it in DCS. Especially if it leads to better technology in the simulation.

9:19 that killed me XD

This kind of aircraft will fit more in MS Flight Simulator for sure, we could just have an early WWII simple dogfighter instead of this. We have to wait too long for every new combat aircraft in DCS.

Climbing in the gate. 2 second penalty puts Magz out of the grasp of the championship title

Magz how do you feel about the removal of the hawk from DCS?

Is this your backup aircraft until you get another throttle

It seems obvious to set up a game of coarsing in multiplayer! Throw some camo on the Eagle and have a bunch of WW2 fighters(or helicopters) try to shoot it down through the city. Or valleys. Or get a Harrier after it! Get a tournament going.

Magz your content is great. I love it can we have another war thunder ground forces. Please keep up the good work.

I´ve been waiting for more on that F-14 ever since the intro until the end of the video...till I realized there was nothing more to come on the F-14....

I'm not so interested in this particular aircraft, but I am super interested in more non-combat and more civilian aircraft in DCS. I understand the argument that it's Digital *Combat* Simulator after all, but .... here's the deal, right: DCS is a better flight sim, than all the other flight sims. That's the unfortunate state of other flight sims. They all feel on rails, they feel very boring, predictable. Even the expensive premium modules for things like P3D and FSX are comically on-rails compared to the DCS modules. They often lack in 3D cockpit detail compared to DCS, the interactivity is bad, and so on. DCS lacks civilian traffic, and it lacks a global map to play on - as far as civvie flight simming is concerned that is - but you know what, as a joy-flight type sim pilot, I honestly don't care. While it's cool to fly from my home airstrip in FSX or whatever, the moment you're in the air, it really doesn't matter. It's an aircraft, you fly it, and whether it says "Sukhumi" or "Oslo" on the map doesn't really change how the flight feels. My point is: I don't really care where I am flying, where from, where to... I care *that I am flying a cool aircraft* and experiencing its nuances and learning its systems. DCS offers that to a level no other flight sim does. And because of that, I'm super interested in non-combat and civilian aircraft. People can be butthurt about it when there's an alternative on the market. Right now, there isn't - so I'm all for this!

This plane needs to be paired up with a fast jet to form an aerobatics syncro pair like the RAF Typhoon/Spitfire syncro pair in 2015!!!

Some good music you got there for the intro ;) Some slowed down master of puppets ;)

MASTER, MASTER

Прикольный самолётик,для любителей попелотажить и подурачиться)))

They should push an april fools update that allows mounting of aim 120s and 9s

That bridge stunt made me clench by butt cheeks, it was very intense

What is this City you keep flying? DLC/Addon?

Wow a corsair. With what map?Normandy!?! Give me a break What's the point. That's the problem with dcs and 3rd parties. There doesn't seem too much direction. Let's have random specific maps with random aircraft from all generations of flight dicking around.

I’m still waiting for my B-52

That bootleg version of Master of Puppets always gets me

Can you do some sky writing in that thing?

Hey its available the day before my birthday. Yay

Liked for doom music

Do you feel the need, The need for speed? . . . well bad luck! You serious xD ?!

the fw 190's roll rate is still definitely superior :p

If someone, somehow could figure out a way to get the 30mm gatling gun from the A-10 on this thing...

Weird to have this in DCS... But great video though.

if there is a christen eagle there could be a freedom fox :)

Cute lil plane!

BTW - For those who are looking for a challenge, keep checking the following site for 2019's Race Series. virtualairrace.com/

The problem with these planes is that ALL developers in DCS have this issue where they half ass the "next best thing" forgetting the previous modules. What would have people wanted more, this plane, or a freaking clean cockpit for the MiG-21, that has been asked for, like, two years? Sigh.

Maverick! you got a Mig 28 on your 6! XD

Oh the intro 😂

lol I love the DOOM music

i thought your wings had to be level when going through the pylons?

This is my biggest problem with DCS. I have not played for 2 years or so, but when the WW2 warbirds came out, you could fill an aircraft with lead and it will still fly like nothing had happened. The old IL 2 1946, you could kill or wound the pilot, damage the engine, either oil leak or radiator leak, damage the wings and surfaces causing loss of control.

Call me old fashioned, but i prefer the Yak 52. This looks like a right hoot to fly, but i like my aerobatics in the long a sweeping style

I wish they'd give you an option to tape an AK-47 to the front so we can try to take on hornets in this thing on multiplayer servers. I DO sorta feel like there could have been better ways to spend their time, even if they're using this as a training dummy for other prop aircraft, but whatever, not like it can hurt to have it in the game.

Hey it's DOOM music!

Best Intro ever xD

Where are the F-14 videos???

2:02 po 2 would like to talk to you

Should of had the F15 and had the title as the new eagle lel

Did you just say nontroversy?

nice vid

Spread them resources even thinner on bullshit!!!

Perhaps it's a good module, but doesn't belongs to DCS, i wll never pay for it.

awesome usless aircraft for dcs

in jesus name ahmen

DOOM RIP N TEAR

engine sound is shit

How long till he F-14 stuff mags?=

Language!

Wow so what you're saying is it's way lighter than an Aussie Feminist? But the question is did you ask it's consent before stoking it's joystick? If not you're in trouble cobber.
