I will check the nose with my sources.  I notice that the pic you posted has a De Havilland prop, whereas our version uses the Rotol.  But I'm not sure that makes a difference.  It could be just the odd angle, but it could also be that I messed up.  :)
Btw, the cockpit rails are exactly the same width as the current AH rails with the exception of being more rounded and accurate.  You are being thrown off by the field of view and the eyepoint looking down into the cockpit.
I really don't know what you guys are referring to on the elevators.  Please explain.

Judging from the numerous c-pit fotos that is closest to real one.

"Hopefully some day the FW frames will also be returned to a thinner standard of appearance. "

The 190s cockpit is fine, ty. Lets get the other ones as good.

I think the comment about the elevator refers to the use of the later elevator with the extended elevator balance.  Note on the first image that there is only one angle on the end of the elevator and on the bottom image it extends further forward and two angles on the end.

ah, ok I got it.  I will make the necessary changes.  Also, I've modified the nose bulge as it was definitely too big at the back end of the engine.
ps. Don't pay attention to the ammo counters in these preview screenshots, as they are usually incorrect.

superfly, it may just be the picture you posted and the angle it was taken, but the underside of the nose looks slightly odd too?

Yep, there isn't the sweeping curve but more of a straight edge to the underside of the cowl if the picture is accurate.

"ROFL, great example!"
I'm sorry but wazzat sMurf?  :rolleyes:


The framing for armoured windscreen is wider at the top (first link) and the vertical bars are slightly too thin and in wrong angle. Also the overall profile of the cockpit is slightly too high. The armoured part is also thicker than it seems at present model. It is pretty close, all right, and I'm sure Spitdrivers appreciate the good view from c-pit but IRL it was not that good.

You cannot really see much between the armour and top part of the frame.

See.... Real pictures.

I could draw a picture and say its exactly like the real thing too... Which is what I meant about your example. Just because some other sim has it different, doesnt make it right...Or wrong for that mater.

Sry bout that Morph. A misunderstanding on my part.  I don't have any public disk space to host pics but you will find a few relevant pics at your site from the folder under name morton.

is that you? I just got an email saying you registerd... Would you mind if I change your name in there to your AH BB handle? Helps me to keep track of things.

btw, put all the pics you want on there. no porn of course. but feel free to use it as you wish. that's what its there for.

Charge,

So what you are saying is that the current AH Spit's cockpit framing is too thin, right?  Not just the new ones.  I want to be perfectly clear on your position here.

All three of those Spit cockpit shots show the armor's windscreen from the side which is obviously going to make it appear to be thicker.

SUPERFLY, thanks for doing that, we really appreciate the time to detail you guys are putting in.  Those are great models.

PS, when you get to the Seafire III, note that it had the LATER Spit IX-XIV style Elevator as well, not the earlier one as on the Seafire II/Spit V.

When you take a look at the Spit14 screenies, the cockpit view is default head position this time. To me the cockpit bars look no different in size than the current ones.

I of course dont know if *those* are correct, but im sure someone knows...
