Very nice shots indeed!
What features make this Spitfire different (or even better) from the RealAir Spitfire ?
(beside the airplane version).
And what makes the Just Flight Spitfire and Me109 better than the excellent A2A versions? (especially the vc)
I don't have the A2A spit, but I do have their Me109 and the JF version has more repaints and is native FSX, whereas the A2A version has 3 and is an upgraded FS9 plane. I haven't had enough time to fully explore them to find any other differences.
Is their spit better than RealAir? No, nor is it worse. I think the cockpit colouring is perhaps a little more muted and realistic in the RealAir version, but the JF exterior is less glossy than the RealAir version (IMO) which is perhaps more realistic of that period.
For me the pick of the pack is the Hurricane, it is just a fantastic rendition of the aircraft.
So far the only critic I'd have is that not all of the click spots work in all of the cockpit sub-views (they all work in the main VC view though) and that there is a lot less rudder needed to correct yaw on takeoff than I'm used to with merlin engined aircraft, which may be correct and a factor of the earlier engines in these variants.




One thing I've found that doesn't seem right. They fly on about half throttle, right from the three point attitude.
