Title says it all. Part of the issue is other than electronics and and avionics, I don't really understand the difference between them. Is one faster? More maneuverable?
Side Note: If the flight dynamics are the same, has or would A2A consider a discount for buying both?
Can't Decide Between Military or Civilian
Re: Can't Decide Between Military or Civilian
They are essentially the same airplane with the same performance, but with addition of a modern avionics suite and a couple of other upgrades in the Civilian Mustang.
I have both but rarely fly the military version and there is no discount for buying them both

Re: Can't Decide Between Military or Civilian
The civilian version was done with the avionics needed to take advantage of what's available in the sim. You can fly VFR or IFR with the civilian version. VERY good for cross country flying and needed for instrument approaches.lowew79 wrote: ↑29 Jul 2020, 13:10 Title says it all.

The civilian version gives you much more choice in how you fly the Mustang in the sim.

Re: Can't Decide Between Military or Civilian
I also have both but rarely fly the civ lol. The mil can take more fuel in the form of drop tanks if that's your thing but I don't fly it for that long personally, as far as working equipment goes it also has a tail radar which you guessed it, tells you if someone is on your tail which is fun when flying with others and it is kind of capable of radio navigation with VORs but the headings are given to you on the shift 5 map rather than someone based at them telling you which is what would've been done irl.

Re: Can't Decide Between Military or Civilian
From a purely personal pov I like the Mil because I love the warbird element and being able to use drop tanks, but for sure I do miss the modern avionics sometimes when flying with friends when they are in the Civ more easily able to navigate and fly in less than ideal weather conditions thanks to how the Civ is kitted out.
thanks,

It appears to me that the perfect solution would be to add drop tanks to the Civ Mustang…Lewis - A2A wrote: ↑30 Jul 2020, 09:11 From a purely personal pov I like the Mil because I love the warbird element and being able to use drop tanks…

Yeah I also like the ammo and bombs but from a functional pov they don't do much

If you are like most of us, you'll end up with both of them anyway.lowew79 wrote: ↑29 Jul 2020, 13:10 Title says it all. Part of the issue is other than electronics and and avionics, I don't really understand the difference between them. Is one faster? More maneuverable?

There is a solution....give us a Cavalier variant of both the military, but especially the civilian bird with high tail and optional tip tanks!Lewis - A2A wrote: ↑30 Jul 2020, 09:23 I think the CAA might take issue with the rockets, bombs and ammo I also like
