Good News! We are on schedule to release before the 100th anniversary of the Spitfire's first flight!:a1310:


Seriously though, we're on final approach here. Not long now.

Here's a shot to keep you going - taken while testing radiator cooling efficiency during combat maneuvers.

I've been the cause of the delay. I started a new job this summer that has me away from home a lot, so I've not been able to spend as much time on it as any of us would like. That said, I've just...

John has the Mk.II's frontline career covered from start to finish with his selection of liveries, including several BoB schemes right on through early 1942 following the switch to the sea grey /...

Work has kept me away from my PC for a while, but in my down time on the road I've been able to get some of the documentation squared away so you'll have something to reference as you learn to fly...

There will be a custom sound set for the aircraft, including the Merlin engine of course, but also authentic sounds for all the systems. Since the Spitfire used pneumatic pressure to operate lots of...

Nice spot on the engine cutting out, and you're right - that's exactly what's happening. Though the shilling orifice didn't fully cure the issue, just lessened the negative effects in some...

Henshaw was one of the best, thanks for sharing. Here's the only known footage of him flying a Spitfire display -testing out a brand new Mk.V in 1941. Later in the clip you can see a Mk.II start up...

Ouch, sorry about the roof! We are putting the final package together, and squeezing one more Mk.II variant into it. Work and travel schedules are slowing things down right now. Hang in there, we...

Yes and no. Yes, as part of the next release of Ankor's shaders you absolutely will be able to add click points to the cockpits of ANY existing aircraft and assign any existing CFS3 command to any...

Install will be similar to the other ones we've done like the Typhoon or Fw 190, so that means there are some lines to add to a couple xml files and an ini file. This gets all the visual and sound...

Everything you see in the video has an actual effect on how the aircraft operates. For instance, you only have five Coffman starter cartridges, so after five attempts to start you're out of luck. You...

Hi, welcome!

At present it looks like the IIA and IIB will be released first, with several variants of each. We have a lot of work done on the Mk.Is and some Mk.Vs planned to follow.

Yes, we've been careful to make sure it will work without the shaders and can even still be used without the new software I've been writing for all the new cockpit functions. Of course the best...

I may have to create a few tutorial videos to help people transition into flying with more complex systems. If you're used to flying more recent sims like DCS or the newer IL-2 series then you...

Have a look at what we've been up to with the Spitfire lately. This aircraft is breaking new ground for CFS3 in several ways, including something really special that Ankor has created (and which he...

It doesn’t have to be just my thread - I’m certainly not the only one working on this thing! But I think I will have to put up another video showing off this awesome new feature you’ve created.
...

Ted has the info. When the new shaders are released the necessary info will be part of the notes. IIRC the later Spitfires didn’t have landing lights.

James, there is a part that has to be set up a certain way in gmax, so source files are required.

Daiwilletti, yeah, they've done some pretty impressive stuff on that front. Modeling all that...

This one is a Mk.IIB. Looks just like the Mk.VB from this angle except for the half-round opening on the oil cooler under the left wing. The Mk.VB had a deeper oil cooler with circular opening.
...

Last week my kids went looking for Easter eggs. This week it's your turn. These aren't Easter eggs per se, but if you look carefully you'll see some interesting things.

Takeoff for a late...

Yes, except for things that are related directly to features of the shaders, like the gunsight reticle.

Yes, and an early Mk.V. Not sure if they will end up being released together or separately.

And to Alcanallen's question, probably not very adaptable to existing models, but it will cover all the...

The old ones still work, and the new lines still use the same basic format, but there are more parameters now.

I think the video was accidentally misleading. I was just using the mouse as a pointer, the cockpit isn't clickable unfortunately. I'd love to add it, but I have no idea if it is remotely possible. ...
