    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Released! Spitfire Mk IXc for Microsoft Flight Simulator

The texture mapping between the MSFS and X-Plane versions is also very different, so the existing X-Plane paintkit and repaints can't be used/converted for use on the MSFS version.
 
Dumb question (from an idiot) on installation...manual says just unzip into community folder but that doesnt seem to work.
Ive dragged the 2 Spitfire folders into the community folder but its still not showing up! Is it because I have no clue where do I put the .json files?
 
You need to put the one complete folder (containing everything) named "flyingiron-spitfire" into the Community folder.

Really nice, Jankees!

I painted so many Spitfire models as a kid I pretty much had that camouflage pattern memorized. :)
 
Just received a mail with a download link to an update!

Sadly no explanation to be found on what exactly was updated.

update info.....

Update 1.0.1

This update is our first update since release, and aims to address some remaining bugs & issues pointed out by our users, prioritizing improving the user experience, adding missing sounds & features and further improving the flight model.
Overall, the flight dynamics have been made more realistic and therefore the Spitfire is now slightly more difficult to fly (especially on takeoff). You will need to use your rudder trim more effectively, and manage your engine power more carefully. We recommend between 2-7 degrees right rudder trim for takeoff and up to +7 lb Boost.
Art


  • External LODs improved, icing LODs fixed
  • Clipped Wing icing issues fixed
  • Animated oxygen valve, external tank lever
  • Windshield Fluid Port textures added

Sound


  • Touchdown Sounds added
  • Additional cockpit sounds added (wobble pump, primer, various switches)

Systems & Flight Model


  • Parking Brake made clickable
  • Flight Model improvements (thanks to Raimond aka GotGravel for pitching in and making several contributions here)
    - Stall speeds increased slightly
    - Stall behavior adjusted
    - P-factor increased (you will notice a much stronger tendency to swing left on takeoff. Counter this with some right rudder trim)
    - Torque/Propwash dynamics adjusted
    - Roll inertia, stability adjusted
    - Control sensitivity at various airspeeds adjusted
    - General control & trim sensitivity adjusted
    - Prop Inertia reduced
    - Engine throttle response speed increased
  • ATC Power now tied to Radio Unit – to be able to contact ATC, select any preset channel on the radio (A-D) to power it on
  • Oxygen Flow now requires oxygen flow valve on the starboard side of the cockpit to be opened
  • Negative G’s starve engine of fuel (WIP, needs additional work)
  • Engine Temperature model adjusted slightly (still WIP)

Looking forward to the Belgian and Dutch liveries, Jankees! Make sure to give the exhaust stacks some final attention before release, however, as it appears they've been painted in green/grey paint.
