Rowdy, have you managed to get the Plane Design Spit' flying in FSX, or is that FS9?

[harleyman]

Gotta just love the P 40...

Very nice edit! If you're calling one plane a saviour, shouldn't it be a Hurricane, then? :monkies:

[dadmod]

Nice shot :applause:

All yesterday's fiddling about with it proved to be succesful, and i've managed a port over to FSX Acceleration.

LOL...Indeed !

[Paul K]

Harley, you can joke about British cooking, the side of the road on which we drive, even Prince Charles' ears....but don't joke about the Spitfire. ;)

[SkippyBing]

Where I'm from it's known as an 'easy'. I.e. you make what appears to be an idiotic statement such as
'I think the Type 45 looks like a proper warship'
'That's a Type 42'
'Easy!'
Mind you I think the Spitfire is over rated....

Did you manage to get the gauges working?

[Cazzie]

Beautiful composition rowdy! :applause::medals:

*burns-his-mouth-mode on*

Yes, it is.
Or as one British pilot has put it "the sky wasn't enough to roll the Spitfire" or the other "turning doesn't win battles".

Nice edit nonetheless.

i like the spitfire and i'm Greek born :icon_lol: but my favourite mark is the mk.V/Trop (thats the one with the beautiful nose) especially when given the blue-white-blue roundels of the RHAF/HAF :icon_lol:

"The one with the beautifull nose"??? The one with the greek nose ya mean??? :bump:

Nice edit there Rowdy!! Tell us what you did to make it work in FSX please??

[letsgetrowdy]

Hi guys I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't get the data ready, but I will start a thread soon about how to Port-it over....

[letsgetrowdy]

Very nice edit! If you're calling one plane a saviour, shouldn't it be a Hurricane, then? :monkies:

Lol I should have put a hurricane on this....but till sky unlimited port theirs over to FSX, I'm stumped

[GBrutus]

Great news, looking forward to it.

[Bjoern]

...but don't joke about the Spitfire. ;)

Well, since we had the better offering, I can. :engel016: :icon_lol:

*Runs and flies off in his 109E*

[jetstreamsky]

I don't think any Me109 pilot would ever think the Spitfire was a joke, not for long anyway. :ernae:

As for Hurricane or Spitfire, it was always a team effort, the best combination came from the more rugged and numerous Hurricanes making the bombers life a misery, while the Spitfires dealt the Me109 escorts :pop4:

Great edit Rowdy :applause:

When comparing Spitfires with its contempoaries it entirely depends on what Mark Spitfire ..the same goes for the Bf-109 (its not a ME-109)..and yes great edit!

[letsgetrowdy]

Hi guys,

sorry to disappoint, but I'm remainig away from home till tommorow, so expect the new thread then (UK time).
cheers

[peter12213]

I'd get the FCS hurricane personally its the best one available for accel users!

[Nick C]

Not according to Alex Henshaw the chief test pilot, and he knew a bit about flying!

The Hurricane was the 'grunt' of the air war during the Battle of Britain.

Edit: I didn't see the second page, so my reply is to the last post on the first page! :d

[IanP]

According to eyewitness accounts (of which I have just been reading yet more, following the republication of a book that I was waiting for), it was never "Hurricanes versus bombers, Spitfires versus fighters", more "You, you and you, you're taking on that formation. The rest of you, follow me!"

Hurricanes very regularly got the better of Bf109s, bombers regularly shot down Spitfires and vice versa. The main thing about the air war in 1940 was that it was meticulously planned at Squadron level, but the fights were anything but organised. A Squadron might start in formation and maybe fly one formation attack, but if they even completed that one it was a miracle before it turned into single aircraft versus whatever was in front or behind it. Was the Spitfire, the Hurricane or Bf109 "the best"? No. None of them were. They all had strengths and weaknesses and skilled pilots could use all to their advantage. Even the Bf110 had its good points, although not many and they usually ended up in defensive wheels while being used as machine gun fodder for whatever found them.

I'd agree with Peter on the FCS Hurricanes, though - they're the best we have available for FSX right now. Although personally, I'd get Hawker Heroes instead, which has "the wrong" Hurricane, but a couple of other very nice models as well. Even the Tiffie is growing on me and that's the weakest in the pack.
