What is the frame rate hit with this aircraft? I can't seem to find anyone mentioning this. Judging by the looks of the great looking pictures being posted here, I'm guessing that nobody here has tested it on an older Athlon dual core!!

I have C2D E6400@2,13GHz. Spit is perfectly flyable, few frames below default one engine planes.
 
For me, this is the BEST prop plane EVER done for FSX:
- fantastic flight dynamics: as alreadt said, opening the canopy effects flight, a-synchrone flaps cause yaw
- engine model as never seen before: even your spark plugs can get dirty and effect performance!
- fantastic VC
- sounds? Do a fly-by in external view with your volume cranked up: it's like being at an airshow! Unbelievable.

Thanks A2A!!
 
Keep em coming guys! Awesome work!!

I will be getting this plane as soon as I can afford it. Still in my foxhole trying to find some paying work. Until then I will live off your screenies and comments.

Thanks!:wavey:

Those features were already existing on the P-47 Accusim ;)
 
as i cant get this yet (donations welcome! :icon_lol:) can i bagsy the paints of K9871? I wouldnt mind painting those .. the full list of paints are:-


JH-O K9871
ZP-O K9871
LV-Z K9871
SK-A K9871
WJ-O K9871

The plane went through just about every paint scheme applied to the MKIs :)
 
Ive only flown a few flights but I am ctd with a error message FSX had to close. Its happened 2x when I ended a flight and 3x when I paused the flight and returned to see the message.
The installed told me I had either the current or most recent dx version. Later this evening I will try to troubleshoot.
BTW- This is one of the very,very few planes I managed to nose over and break the prop on a few landings. And I thought I was a stick and rudder Ace. Its a handfull.
 
JIMJAM - there's a FAQ over at the A2A forums addressing CTDs - I think it was an image size problem or something?

I just closed it, or I'd copy and paste a link. :rolleyes:

Here is the link to the A2A Spit FAQ:

http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=23593

Jimjam:
Given the symptoms, it is almost certain that you are suffering from the texture size
problem.

I had similar issues and found that resizing the texure_a and texture_b bump map bmps
and converting them to DDS solved the problem.

A2A has provided a set of alternate textures now that you should find a link to in the above FAQ.

In my case, it was only my Xp Pro 32 install that had the issues. My Win7 X64 install
did not suffer from the texture size issue.

Hi Guys,
Would somebody be able to do Sailor Malan's ZP-A? That was my favourite repaint for the WOP2 model. :wavey:

Try this to see if it helps your CTDs.

Sounds almost identical in the frames department as the RealAir Spitfire. Thank you very much for the information.

Ok that texture file seemed to do the trick. Ive learned with FSX not to speak to soon though. Now If I can just this da* Trackir 5.1 to behave and let me look down. Pumping the gear up/down and bobbing around has about got me airsick. Freeze it and risk burying this Spit in the ground.
Another great plane to eventually join all the other dozens and dozens collecting dust in my massive hanger. I think I can fly one aircraft a day, every day for a few months without repeats or repaints.
But right now at this point in time, this is my fav.
 
Control G, sir. Control G.

Stick the lever for the gear in either "extend" or "retract" as required, then sit there pressing ctrl-g to pump the gear until the lights change. ;)
