Spitfire IX download

[Eoraptor1]

James,
My computer is 3-4 years old and it runs DCS far better than it runs P3D and miles better than FSX.


Ian

My computer just turned 7. As I said, I've continually upgraded, but it's beginning to show its age. You don't have to convince me. As soon as practicable, I'll be downloading DCS World.

Aeroplane Heaven did do FSX Spitfires that were sold by Just Flight, but I don't think they did an IX, right now they have an Mk IV and Mk V that have been out for a few years and the new Dunkirk Spit, that is a Mk 1

Actually we did do a IX. A total of 13 variants through to the 22 if I remember correctly, also the two-seat MkIX trainer. A bit long in the tooth now I suspect.

The statement was in regard to which variants Aeroplane Heaven had done specifically for FSX, as opposed to the FS9 collection.

Well Baz, perhaps you could put the IX on your list and perhaps the VIII as well? VIII's the same as an IX except it has a retractable tailwheel.

Well, there was a little bit more to it than that!

As I said, a high quality FSX MK.IX would be most welcome.

I personally would like to see a whole series starting with the very early F.IXs (1942) up until very late LF & HF.IXs (late 1944/early 1945).

Cheers

So, if you could get on with that, Baz, no pressure. In time for this Christmas, of course. Lol!

 

[bazzar]

of course Tom, right away...

 

[IanP]

Christmas? CHRISTMAS?! I want it by tomorrow, Baz!

Okay. Got my RealAir Spitfire in the mail this morning, all the way from the UK. At first I thought it was Meghan writing to tell me she'd made a mistake with that other fellow and wanted me to take her back, but no joy.

I got it installed but will have to wait till later to wring it out. Very fast service from ebay and the seller. He'll definitely be getting positive feedback.

I got the Spit package installed. It went in very easily from disc with none of the problems described in the "Speaking of RealAir" thread. The disc arrived very quickly and in mint condition complete with pilot's reference printed on real paper. Funny how retro that seems nowdays.

I haven't spent much time with the XIV model, but I have "flown" the IX several times and it is sweet. Very easy on frame rates as well, which is a big consideration on my aging computer. For this model alone I would recommend the purchase, but in full disclosure, I wouldn't have this a/c if not for an unexpected gift. If you can find one for sale online at a reasonable price, definitely get it.

I am now seriously considering getting a MK.1A, if and when I have the money. Either that or a good Hurricane. I have a soft spot for the Hurri. It's the first model plane I remember building, purchased across the bridge in Canada. To me, the Spit and the Hurri are the Mary and Martha of the Battle of Britain. It's like a family that has two daughters, one very dependable and hard-working, but with a scalding hot younger sister who gets all the attention.

Thanks to all my Sim-Outhouse buddies for responding to this thread.

I'd really love a current "state of the art" Hurricane. We have Baz's early ones through JustFlight and Dan Dunn's FCS ones, which are dated and, in some cases, have interesting modelling around the tail (Dan said "It's the second model I ever made!" when I spoke to him about it ) but we don't have anything to the standard of the RAS, A2A or newer AH models.
