I wish I had the skills to develop aircraft for flight sim..just don't have time to take the 3D modeling courses and learn all the other disciplines required to do it properly
that is a beautiful warbird and a terrific image - flight simming and PC tech sure has come a long way in the last 20 years or so..Quote:

Release would have been perfect with the UK Update coming to MSFS tomorrow. :mixed-smiley-010:
"Two more screens for the Ozzies!"
I'm nit picking but A58-602 RG-V was a brand new Spitfire HF.VIII assigned to Wing Commander Bobbie Gibbes in early 1945.
Gibbes was Wing Leader of No.80 Wing, Sattler Airstrip, December 1944.
The HF.VIII was the preferred type for the RAAF, with a few standard MK.VIII and the occasional MK.IX and MK.XVI (One IIRC) superseding the MK.V's.
:devilish:
And the No.80 Wing 'Ace of Spades' emblem on the rudder was placed upside down on Gibbes' aircraft.
Hi,
when I was in the RAF I served on 81 squadron when they flew Canberra PR7 in Singapore. The official badge was a red star of Russia with a sword but they also sported the ace of spades. This was taken on during the war when they flew spits. During operations in the Mediterranean, they found their most frequent opponents were Jagdgeschwader 53 who had an ace of spades motif on their aircraft. As the squadron commander considered that they had 'bested' their enemy, they took the motif and started applying it to their aircraft.

I'm waiting for the developers to figure out a way to insert actual smells and temperatures into the sim🤣. I'm imagining doing carrier operations and experiencing the heat from the jet's exhausts, plus the smell of JP5! :biggrin-new:. NCQuote:

They said they'd think about it but, as you can see at their site, no cockpit smell has been added to their vast collection yet.
However, it's your brain that you want to decieve into thinking it is in a vintage jetfighter cockpit, who cares if this happens thru 'new car' , 'machine oil', 'leather', or 'pinguin poop' aroma or all together, as long as it works it's alright. :)
Have a look round here: https://aromaprime.com/search.php?search_query=steam
Actually with the amount of aroma gadgets on the market, designing a small hardware adapter with a software interface for the sim should not be too hard. After all you can use your apps to control stuff around the house so it's only one step away from that.
I'm off to register Aerosmells.com Back soon.:engel016:
With a surgeon general's mention: The navigator fart aroma does not contain fecal matter! :biggrin-new::biggrin-new:Quote:

You do that, Bazz ! You could sell photoreal RAF Type G Oxygen mask mouthcaps to go with Spitfire smells. :cool:Quote:

when can we get it. ETA?
I´m really looking forward to getting some warbirds into this sim, but it also bugs me a lot that they take off a Spitfire with the flaps extended in their video. Does that even work from a thermal point of view with the radiators almost fully blocked while the engine is delivering take off power? I´d really wish for some system depth also, at least to the Accusim extend, but that´ll take a while I guess with the core of the sim changing with each update and the SDK still in it´s early days. I´ll wait for what people say about this one. ;)
Yeah, that would cause the glycol to heat up fast for sure, having the flaps down on takeoff. I remember the late Bill Greenwood, who owned and piloted Spitfire T.9 TE308, describing that you don't even want to have the flaps down too long on approach for the real possibility of overheating, and you also don't want them down after landing for very long either for the same reason.
Right now I am really interested in this Spitfire just for the looks, and I just hope it flies fairly accurately too.
Hiya,
The "bug" with take-ing off with the flaps down, was the first thing i mentioned when applying as betatester. Was in fact a small mistake in
making the video i was told. It's indeed real-life a no-go, because of the drag created by the flaps and indeed to shield of your coolers under the wing.
About the ETA, please contact FlyingIron Simulation themselves, as betatester i'm not at liberty to say. I only may only tease you with screenshots. :pirate:
One thing i can say is this bird has great ground handling. Can make donuts on the runway and take-off with small rudder inputs, same for landing.

Radio mast is too big and too circular. Odd as everything else looks great.
Hi,
Mmm, think it's the right height only indeed a bit too "fat". Do we have some nice reference shots i can send?Quote:

This is from a model but the exact shape along the z axis can be seen in the mid plate. Sort of a stretched droplet :

I knew you'd come up with something too, John. Beat me to it by a second or two. :)
Merci guys! Will forward them.
