Answer would be 'When it's done' TM..

 

 

Excellent point. I shall just wait... impatiently. :P

 

Oooooooo, I was concentrating on the wing tips (or lack thereof) so much that I failed to notice it's the high-back mk IX. Good stuff, ED.

 

(I believe the other Spit in development is clipped and low-backed too...)

I'll be very surprised if they release any new modules before World 2 is out. Though if they did a pre-order tomorrow I'd be in. Spits in any form are great, but I'm one of the rare ones that prefer the clipped wing. Loved flying the clip in 1946 like a boom n zoom plane... hard to get in trouble that way.

The problem I always had with the clipped is their fuel mix settings, in dcs it's a lot of low flying, even in high altitude planes like the 51/109/190, they keep it pretty low, so I don't think it should be a problem, but I didn't really like flying spits all that much in 1946 cause I had to choose a low alt or high alt variant... LF or HF kinda thing...

Beautiful aircraft.

 

Wish they would release more screenies or a video of it, pre-order would also be good :thumbup:

 

It's gone a bit quiet on the Spitfire front...................wonder how close it is?

Close enough. That's what I tell myself so I don't go nuts.

 

Close enough. Because when it's ready, it's READY. And I doan want no screwball jacked-up rush job.

 

But yeah, I quietly wonder about release dates, too.

No more quiet than normal ED development. Wags commented about its develop in a recent stream, and we have been shown screenshots recently... it hasnt been that quiet.

Any news on the cockpit lay-out since the mono-coloured renders?

 

(I'm building a sim-pit, and want to make sure I don't have to change anything too much once this module comes out.)

I know the module is in DCS so the cockpit will start getting a lot of work, I am sure some screens will be shown when its a little farther along of the cockpit in sim.

Cheers. I'll keep my eyes peeled... and restrain myself from e-buy-ing possible duds for the moment.

 

Heh - it's not like I don't have *plenty* of footering to keep myself busy with.

Based on the screen shots it looks like the Spit still lacks prop animation. Not sure where that fits in the list of to-dos, but all we have in those images is the external 3D model. Let's have some cockpit pics!:photo:

Yup, it comes in in parts, when those shots were taken, the cockpit wasnt in, but things have been moving along... I am sure when its in and in a reasonable state they will show more...

Hello all.

 

Just a quick question. Is the clipped version still coming or is it the full wing version now? I only ask as MH434 has its full wing span back on again. I believe she was clipped for a while.

 

Cheers. :)

The current paint scheme is wrong and has been reported to ED. So yes, with the clipped version they will need the appropriate scheme.

She had her full wing put on in the early 60's if I remember correctly due to a short runway she was operating from (higher stall speed on the full wing) She is probably the prettiest airworthy Spitfire imo. Her and Ferocious Frankie together make for quite a sight.

 

Speaking of MH434, here's a good comparison of the two wing designs.

Hmm I think I may have my wires crossed. I felt sure I saw a recent(ish) photo of her clipped.

 

The Mark 8 steals it for me in the looks department. The larger tail gives it a more 'balanced' look to me. Cracking comparison photo!

I'd be fine with being proved wrong if you can find a photo of MH434 clipped :)
