Spitfire MkVIII

[Capt. Winters]

Hi All,

Spitfires are just having a few last minute FM revisions for 6 of the planes, other than that they are finished. I arrive home from work this coming Wednesday, I am hoping by the end of the week at latest for upload.

regards Rob.

I spent a lot of time working on the sounds for this project. To date it is the most detailed sound set in CFS3 with several features we haven't had before.

Just downloaded and installed it works a real treat. Very well thought out instructions etc easy for me to install. Very nice well made beautifully authentic and accurate models with superb high detail paint job. Realy nice.
Thanks to all those who have done all the hard work you have made CFS3 so much better now! All i need to do now is fix my win 10 install from crashing at the end of a mission any clues?
