FlyingIron: updated version of Spitfire L.F Mk IXc V1.1.0

[mgr]

Version 1.1.0 of the MSFS Spitfire Mk IXc is now available! This update includes the highly anticipated flame VFX of the Merlin engine which fires in the correct sequence, the FlyingIron Tablet which includes a huge amount of helpful information and tools, and finally an FM overhaul which has led to the most realistic simulation of our Spitfire yet!


Changelog:
- Accurate Moments of Inertia according to factory data
- Flight Model Entirely re-tuned due to the above
- Faster acceleration during take-off
- Renewed Instrument Camera setup and tuned QuickViews L1/R1
- Overall camera improvements
- Added Tablet & all the goodies along with it
- Fire in the pipes ... 12 x awesomeness
- A bunch of sound improvements: additions, remixing and rebalancing
- Programmable Radio (use tablet to program and radio buttons A-D to use)
- Added loading tips
- Fixed Mag 2
- Fixed cockpit light dimmers
- Improved cockpit texturing
- Added VR stick control
- Fixed radio clickables
- Fixed clock animation
- Many more fixes and improvements

• Solved fuel qty rounding error in MSFS Fuel screen

• Slightly adjusted empty CG to prevent out of CG error at 99% main fuel tank only

• Corrected pilot description tag

• Fixed Autopilot binding issue

• Improved VR Pilot camera view

• Adjust brake lever animation to be analogue

• Brake lever animation much more responsive

• Brake pressure needles much more responsive

• Fixed fuel pump issue

• Added CANOPY OPEN simvar in support of fan hardware

• Added more loading screen tips

• Implemented MS/FS supercharger gears and made various refinements to the supercharger

• Changed boost button variable

• Added ability to toggle GPS power

• GPS button brightness is now based on the maximum of the two spotlight rheostats

• Improved the dynamic engine stresses

• Added more informative mouse-over tips

• Added engine backfiring (low MP, high RPM)

• Greatly improved the thermodynamics model, taking into account things such as the gear disrupting radiator airflow and the flaps blocking it entirely

• Added common power settings to the checklist

• Fixed RPM stress algorithm

Flight Model:

• High-fidelity flight model tuned in cooperation with an active MkIX pilot

• Added modern prop physics

• Reduced brake power to ease nose dipping

• Added cockpit light bounce & improved cockpit lighting

• Modified LOD sizes for better optimization

• Fixed the rudder trim knob not responding to the click spot correctly

• Improved the instrument panel texture

• Added canopy physics (the canopy can now slide shut if the canopy is open and the door is locked)

• Disabled engine smoke (will likely be re-added and improved down the line)

• Fixed collision box for the cockpit

• Fixed animation for the boost coil cover so that it no longer clips with the fuel lever

• Fixed door collision so that it's easier to click the port switches

• Fixed gunsight ambient occlusion issue

• Added the ability to toggle between the default ASOBO pilot and the WW2 pilot

Sound:

• Gear thud added

Truly impressed by the efforts of the FlyingIron team to continuously improve there products.

There is also a update of the P-38 in progress.

Agreed, and the Changelog looks quite delicious. Love the fact that they strive to increase realism even further!

I guess I may need a rainy weekend or two to check out all the latest stuff. The curse of too many hobbies

And another update has been released:

Today we have released update 1.2.1 for the Spitfire, which includes numerous systems improvements, greatly enhanced start-up audio and a fix for the dreaded cockpit light leaking!

Systems:
- Reverted fuel pump to OFF during cold start
- Set default pilot to WWII
- Improved fuel valve logic. The fuel valve can now be toggled with the Toggle Engine 1 Fuel Valve keybind.
- GNS430 can now be powered on/off with the COM1 volume button
- Improved the rudder trim wheel interaction speed
- Fixed radiator flap not responding to manual override
- Fixed clock animation
- Halved the speed of icing
- Improved the baro knob
- Wobble pump logic improved
- Added aileron trim control to tablets settings. Be sure to TURN OFF 'Auto Rudder' in the assistance settings as this is causing major right roll.
- Base oil temperature slightly decreased
- Optimized primer animation and interaction code
- Canopy slide auto-shuts under a steeper angle now, making it easier to open on approach.
- Transponder digit rolls corrected
- Fixed checklists by removing incorrect idle/cutoff reference
- Fixed CTD when saving custom camera views

Flight Model:
- Slightly tweaked performance to compensate for SU9 changes (slightly lowered thrust at take-off)
- Reduced wheel brake power

Sound:
- Engine starter whine sound re-added
- New engine booster sound added
- Added startup pops and backfires
- Added prop sound when engine is turned off
- Engine shutdown timing with sound improved
- Improved groundroll and propwash transitions
- General rebalancing

Art:
- Greatly improved the cockpit shadows and eliminated almost all light leaking
- Modified clock arms to more accurately reflect the real gauge

The last update was very nice already in my opinion, looking forward to this one as well.

A lot of small updates here and there,but the pilot is not removable
