FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAKIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

I know the Tempest is next! :O Then a true Spitfire Mk. XVI with bubble canopy and 150 grade fuel. :noid

Greebo and Waffle, you two have raised the bar by a long way!!! I wish the Spitfire cockpits looked this good!

Looks amazing.  Greebo, i can't really tell from the screenshots, but are you putting the strengthening bars on the tail?  I can see a dotted line but they go vertical rather than horizontal like on the real Typhoon.

Looks like he did that, Furbie, but, to me, the screenshots look exactly like the picture you posted... the vertical black lines you're mistaking for the strengthening bars are, in fact, the spacing between them. Look carefully the shadowed area below the stabilizer in the second picture, you'll see the bars are horizontal (enlarging the picture will help).

Cool, thanks :)  I can't really see on the screenshots - i use an LCD TV as my computer monitor, maybe the res or brightness isn't high enough!

Usually because they find out they have something wrong on the original model - all the much better for realism  :aok

All of the un-updated planes are from AH. That's why they're being updated. :)
Personally I hope the Macchis are next.

Thats' the scr 522a vhf control box..I'll double check it - It might be mounted backwards. That's gonna suck...I guess I can do some drilling, reverse the mounting bracket and rewire the harness.  Have it ready for a check out in a few hours. :D

Nice work of course, but I get nervous when you guys start messing with stuff. There are quite a few planes that just ain't the same anymore.



imo... when they update the graphics and they update the flight model at the same time, if the flight model changes to the side of more "real deal" accuracy then I am all for it.  I kept hearing about how the George was "nerfed" with some slight reductions in certain flight characteristics , but evidently it was made more accurate.  I am all for that.

Someone made mention of a "true" Spit16... if they do I hope it gets what it has coming (an over-haul of it uber-ism).

Me?  I hope to see a "true" Mossi FB Mk 6, and an improved P40x.    :aok

Not saying i don't admire the work that goes into it... but I couldn't give a damn about eye candy, those who are long time subscribers i suspect are mostly in agreement.  Those too busy looking at the pretty landscape or shadows instead of what is on their 6 will just make it easier for us to shoot them down ;)  :aok

I still occasionally play the original red baron from around 1990, as long as i can make out aircraft types, i am pretty content.

The airplane externals have always been about as good as "Il2" IF you crank them all the way up, and all the newer cockpits are also extremely good, without going so "realistic" as to make the instruments unreadable at normal zooms.

And also with the 200 rounds per gun its supposed to have.


Early Tempest's Mk. V (Serie I) and the Tempest Mk. II prototypes had the 20 mm Mk. II Hispano cannons (identical to those fitted in Typhoon). The barrels extended 8 inches beyond the wing leading edge and they were mounted with short barrell fairings.
Tempest Mk. V Serie II's, production Mk. IIs and Mk. VIs were fitted with the new short-barrelled Hispano Mk. V cannons which were completely enclosed. (They were 10 in. shorter and 25 lbs lighter than Mk. II.)
Mk. V and VI had 200 rounds per gun, but Mk. II 162 inboard and 152 outboard
