Spitfire!

Packard engines :d

MkIa demo at the bottom of this page, I think the proto was an Xmas pressie one year, as was the MkIa for CFS2. The links for which go to the old Heavenly hangar domain, no longer live I'm afraid. I don't have them to give you as I have the full JF boxed edition.
 
The Mk. XVI is a Mk. IX with a Merlin 266 built by Packard under license. :ernae:

Piece of cake for me - I'm an Air Vice Marshal, as you can see:

Edit:
Dangit - this Scottishman was faster than me...
 
Hehe.... The Flying Scotsman :d choo, choo....

...until this happens anyway....

PS. guess these may work on the FS9 version if renamed to suit, but being payware, etc....

WBK,

One of your repaints? Which Hurry (AH, Sanderson, SU?)is that BTW?

:wiggle:

Cees,
it's indeed Robert Sanderson's Mk. IIa.

Intended to become AVM Keith Park's (GCB, KBE, MC and Bar, DFC, DCL RAF, commander of 11th FG during the Battle of Britain, as you all probably know...) personal 'OK 1'.
Early WIP state, halted until my four Lufthansa Convairs are done.
I'm still not too happy with the colours: Although the RGB values were taken from simmerspaintshop, they seem a little too 'flat' for me...

For educational purposes, one of Park's bonmots:

"I have pilots here that are still thinking they are turning left and right, they have no idea what port and starboard are. There are pilots who think that the radio is for idle chit-chat, they have no radio knowledge at all. Fourteen to twenty hours in a Spit and they are given their wings.....it's downright ridiculous".

Wrong sim, right aircraft... Still need to reinstall the JF Spitfire boxset and all it's updates.. At least now I now what to do today!

The damage texs don't work in FS9 to well, the FS9 model is set to use Alpha for reflections as opposed to CFS2's transparency. The fuselage and tailplane work okay as I avoided alpha channel transparency as being ableto see through to the sky through the 'hole' even when another surface was in the way was to unrealistic.

I usually fly this one with a guest pilot, I need to do him his own custom paint though. :icon_twi:

Couldn't resist flying the Schmittfire out of Germany into Prague, Czechoslovakia. Took off in a blizzard and landed in one. This is getting to be good practice for the RTW.

I've got two different Czech Spits. decisions... decisions.....
 
Flew a quick hop from Prague to Pardubice in a Czech Police Mk XVI. I've included a shot of the panel I use in these Paul Rebuffat Spitfires. I'd set it up as a RTW racer panel as at one time I was going to fly it in the RTW before I got the AH Mk XIX set up instead. I do like my little electrical panel pop up that I'd done for it.

Think I'm going to head south from here. All this snow is starting make me feel cold.....

I'll be downloading it the moment it becomes available!

:wavey:

Thanks, Cees!

But this one sure will take some time, as it has to undergo some severe weathering. I don't know if all the legends about Sir Keith, hopping from airfield to airfield during the Battle of Britain, are true - but this particular airplane sure can tell some stories...

Sorry for all you Spit admirers:
The Spitfire sure is a beautiful aircraft, but in my eyes, the Hurricane is the icon of this era with a destinct character! It's a fighter, created to carry out some serious punches in a battle - and not a fancy racing plane, put into a war dress.
I hope you don't mind my point of view :ernae:, but as far as my taste is concerned, the same goes for the grim Jug, compared to the shiny Mustang...

Cheers,
Markus.

Add me to the list, great stuff. Will his flight-suit be included in the repaint?

Don't worry about the Hurri's, love them almost as much as the Spit, I find it difficult to have a favourite, it more depends on my mood, sometimes it's the Mossie, Big Beau, Tiffie, Lizzie, Stringbag, etc. And that's just the native stuff, it gets :isadizzy: trying to choose. Probably my fav US fighter would be the Kittyhawks, but I do love those big Jugs too. Such a veritable smorgasbord, isn't it great!!

What would it be without his flightsuit? WBK you'll have to include that flightsuit to be historically corrrect!:icon_lol:

:salute:

Ummm - couldn't figure out yet where the suit&cap textures are located.
But this guy sure is looking out for trouble...
 
Finally got round to reinstalling the Aeroplane Heaven/JF Spitfire! CD with all the patches (Takes some time) and now I have my 'Spitfire bonanza' again!
From the Mk.1:

To this peculiar Mk.V on floats:

To the 2,500 hp beast, the Mk.22, which barely looks like a Spitfire anymore:

fsscr549.jpg


:applause:
 
All these Spitfires and nobody mentioned these?????

In my opinion the Mk.V with by far very best external model. The VC looks quite decent, although not clickable. But nicely modelled and absolutely no problems in reading the gauges etc.

And it is free and there are extremely nice alternative textures available by RobH and SopwithChameleon.

As it is an model made for CFS2 it is a bit nose heavy, but a slight change in the central point of gravity or some trim will make this an extreme nice FS2004 add-on!

Before I forget to mention you can find Bruno's Spitfires here:

The non-tropical versions

and

the tropical versions

Cheers,
Huub
 
Agreed!! plus knowing Bruno, they're probably Multi-LOD, making them suitable as AI models :d

Also, For those who like the AH/JF Spits, don't forget about the free Seafires.
