The YAS_Mk16(4DV).zip model is a completely revised model. A new AIR file has been constructed using Jerry Beckwith's 1% spreadsheet with further modification.
Based on a late model Spitfire LF MkXVIe, serial TB673, coded "4D-V" to represent the aircraft flown by Sqd. Leader A.J.Reeves D.F.C., #74 Sqd, based at Drope (B105) April 1945.
New textures, new Multi-resolution breakable model, and improved GM2 Gyro gunsight etc etc. Provision for 250Lb and 500Lb bombs and 30gal and 90gal slipper tanks. I've also included a set of Checklists/pilot notes.
The MkXVI can be easily identified by the broad chord tail, lack of undercarriage indicators on the wings, no upward formation light on fuselage and the longer nose, with six separate exhausts to accomodate the Merlin series 60 engine.
The original MkIX/ MkXVI was based on a re-engined MkV and entered service as Type: 361 in June 1942. The Packard Merlin (US) version (Merlin266 engine, similar to the Merlin66 but built to metric dimensions!) was designated the MkXVI and entered service later in Oct 1944. A total of 1054 MkXVI's were produced. The last being delivered in July 1945.
ORIGINAL 2004 CREATION, RE-UPLOADED ON BEHALF OF KEN HARRISON, A.K.A. MERLIN66, BY KELTICHEART FOR PRESERVATION.
(original engine sound aliasing changed from stock A6M2 Zero to stock P-38F Lightning by KH. Enjoy!)
