As if there aren't enough damn spits flying around in the MA, HTC has to go and give it a new improved look?

Now even more will fly it just because it looks cool and is new again.

How about an update for the P-51D? She really needs a facelift when compared to her older (P-51B) sister.

Where is that bribe link of HiTech's?

They mentioned the Spitfire facelift has been on the To Do list for quite a while... it just happens the facelift happens during a time of heavy spitfire use.

SW are you sure that is correct link?
Doesn't look like scottish products, more like from new zealand

He needs to bribe SF and ND if he wants his P51D to get a facelift, so it's the right link.

Wulfie.. do you still beta test for that company?

Only when they develop new technologies.. like the new self lubing system or the vibra-suck motor... super quiet too.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! We want 47 facelift!

Bah! Humbug!

Who cares about the new art?

You cant see a difference far away and IF you are that close to see the new detail you will already be dead

Besides, the 109 artwork should have been done first. In chronological order

Midnight - I sent Email regarding Invasion Sicily - Did you get it?

And I'm glad to see HTC improving the looks of W/C Falkowski's RF-M.

I thought of that too, Karaya.

But I think redoing 109s will take some more time than Spits, since the flaps/radiators on 109s are visually completely wrong. The cowl of G-10s need reconstruction too, not just 'smoothen out' sort of refining. What I'm really wondering is when 109s get their face lift whether the leading edge slats will be visually represented. As I mentioned before somewhere else, I saw only two games so far that modelled those visually good enough

One was Rowan's BoB, the other is IL-2. I want AH to be the third

Hey, these guys forgot again to delete the spit ammo counters

Skuzzy · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2002, 07:02:35 AM »

They may look like ammo counters, but they have been changed to "whine counters" representing the maximum number of whines available to the pilot.
Once it reaches zero, you blow up,...not your plane,..but you blow up and leave a greasy spot on your computer screen.

Shhh!!!! Skuzzy, that was a secret surprise for 1.09!

Superfly, don't forget to tone down the canopy frames on the Macchi while you're at it. Drinks are on me at the con if I see new, improved canopy frames for my C.205.
