Beautiful work by whoever did it. Right down to the 602 Squadron markings etc. THAT is the Spit we should have in AH2

The profile I posted in the other thread is of Raymond Baxter's Spit LFXVIe. It still exists, although not restored at this point, in the RAF's own collection.

My wallpaper is from the profile I did of Bax's Spit. Looks kinda nice don't ya think?

Thanks Bug for posting that.

Gonna have to get that game

Forgotten battle with all its expansion packs and patch it up to 4.01

get it

Wow! Baxter saw it and liked it as well. Those clipped XVIs in IL2 are beautiful. Jeez that's all I need, another game on the computer.

AH2 shows up with clipped IXe/XVIe's it would almost be enough to give up the 38G for

IL2 is fantastic for movies... seen other movies made by the same guys... fantastic stuff... shame the game aint nearly as good as the movies...

What version of Il-2 is it?
And that pacific fighters variant, any good?

I never got hooked too well on Il-2, always found it too... mushy.

In my first dogfight though, I fought one vs five, pinged them all and then disappeared into a cloud, hehe.

Very nice movie, although I must question the "the V2 murdered civilians" sentiment expressed at the end. If so did not the RAF also murder civilians in Germany? Just saying.

BUG_EAF322 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 23, 2005, 07:44:26 AM »

No, they simply didnt ask for the war.
It was the nazi's who started it and directly indirectly killed and murdered their own people.

Bombing civilians is questionable however.

It was a wrong tactic that only worked at hiroshima.
