Ok, at long last I have uploaded the final package of Spitfire Mk.Vs! There will be 14 more aircraft representing five variants of the Spitfire LF.Mk.VB fitted with the Merlin 45M or Merlin 55M. These include standard and clipped wingtips, early and late style windscreens, and some with very late production features such as enlarged elevator balance horns and six-stub exhaust stacks. One aircraft (FF-D) is one of a handful of Spitfire Mk.Vs to be fitted with a Merlin 55M engine, which featured improved handling under negative g-forces.
This brings the total number of Spitfires in our Mk.V series to 65, spread amongst 20 variants in four separate downloads.
The Real Systems Module included with the aircraft has all of the new features introduced with the Spitfire Mk.II release as well as a number of new features. The major improvements include:
-Completely overhauled wind sound effects for the cockpit and airframe.
-Cockpit shake effect influenced by such things as stalls, engine operation, engine damage, and gunfire.
-More realistic gun jams, which can now throw off your aim due to asymmetric recoil if only one cannon jams.
-More realistic engine damage effects.
-Improved fuel consumption accuracy.
If you have the Spitfire Mk.II installed, it will continue to function as before.
Make sure to read the installation instructions carefully. It will likely save you a lot of frustration.
Also, make sure to familiarize yourself with the pilot manuals. Some of the systems are different from the Spitfire Mk.II, and will surprise you in unpleasant ways unless you read the Mk.V manuals.
