Spitfire Mks.VII and VIII are out!

Hopeful that i may get the Spitfires installed correctly but the install is above my pay grade as i don't know how to use a text editor other than the standard notepad. Looks like i'll sit this one out. Sad news to say the least. The most complicated aircraft install i've ever seen for CFS3.
 
Hi SixStrings,

The package includes the files in an already edited state if you do not feel comfortable editing them yourself. (standard notepad is what I use to do all my edits in, for the xml files just right click and go open with then select notepad)
the files included are based off ETO-1.50 files and will work in all installs. By using the supplied files your basically just dragging and dropping to the various folders in your game.

I refuse to allow you to sit this one out :) PM me and I'll work through it with you.

regards Rob.
 
Thank you Sir. Will give it a shot for sure tomorrow . Always back up original files certainly . Really want this to work out. Regards,Scott
 
Got it installed and all i can say is WOW!! Great job and thanks to all involved to bring us this wonderful Spitfire pack.Regards,Scott

Hi Scott, glad you got it sorted mate, it had been a while, I was actually contemplating doing a partial re-release with selected planes from the pack edited to work with stock effects sounds and weapons, to give you a taste of what you were missing out on (as a incentive to not give up just yet), but as you have it worked out I'll skip that.

regards Rob.
 
Great Spitfire !!!

Been flying the new Spitfires in my ETO install for hours and found it totally a blast in hard settings. Able to tear up some Me 109's and the dreaded Fw-190 series,even the Fw-190D. To me it seems to out handle the Mustang at proper altitude . Love the new sounds and effects. This series is even better than most payware for CFS3. Thanks to all involved for this wonderful Spitfire series. Was a little intimidating editing the sound and effect xml's as i also have the new Me 163 and the files had been modded to install it. In MAW and PTO-Solomons can the preload file be replaced or does it have to be edited ? If so what text editor should be used ? A link would be great. Can the sounds and effects xml's simply be replaced with those provided with the Spitfire install or do they need to be edited ? Thanks for any help.
 
Glad you are enjoying it Scott. Any text editor will do, I use notepad. Rob would be better able to answer about the xmls, if he's around.

By the way, has anyone gotten badly shot up in it yet? If not, you're in for some excitement.
 
Those Merlin engines sure have a lot of oil !! Watch those engine temps too_One of the best aircraft for CFS3. Raises the bar as to what can be done in CFS3. Thanks a million !!
 
Holy thread revival Batman, or something...

I've been looking at different Spitfires again (well, I do it all the time anyway) and it occurred to me that these models could be converted to PR X and PR XI quite easily, the X would only need the deeper chin cowling and the guns deleted, the XI also a curved windscreen - although the famous PL965 is flying with a fighter style cockpit and thus actually looks like a PR X.

Now, do we need PR Spitfires? Probably not. But has that ever been a problem? :biggrin:
 
I think the possibility of a PR Spitfire came up during the initial mk8 build but we had to draw the line somewhere. It looks to be a nice project but I already have more lined up than I can handle at the moment. Source is available for someone to modify though it can be a bit unwieldy since it has passed through many hands.

After watching "Dunkirk" , I too have been doing a lot of thinking on Spitfires though earlier ones.

Of course we need PR aircraft!
All my modelling efforts will some day culminate in a F5 that gives you the option of taking screenies from the camera positions which will be tied to the in-game outcome of the mission. Nothing more exiting than flying over enemy territory unarmed, hoping that only your speed and flying skills will be enough to save your skin...
Until then, I 'll settle for any PR kite.
 
cannons

I just installed your Spits. Got them to work but have a small issue.

The cannon on the left wind fries with the machine guns, and the right wing cannon fires with the cannon button.


This issue is with all the ETO spits in this download, others work well.

Thanks
