    Looks real good!
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.

    If i may quote one of the most distinguished rock&roll legends who passed away last year :

    " GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY !! " (would look good on a Spitfire's nose too, éh ? ;-)

    Holy mother of all Spifires! Looks like you truly hit the jackpot with this all brand new iteration of one of the most distinguished WWII propfighters, Baz !

    Thanks for the kind words mate. Well, if we were going to do this icon real justice, MSFS has to be the place to do it. Lots of finessing to go but she's coming right.

    And another one from XP11 this one a MK IXC...Both looking good, congrats, but not buying any of them. Have too many Spits already and very good ones from Aeroplane Heaven and some other devs, going to keep them flying on P3D v 5 (good enough for me). As stated before not going to spend money on ever, and ever, and ever, the same models although I understand devs opinions.
    Regards ,

    That looks great! How's the ground handling? I haven't figured out yet if MSFS has trouble with tail dragger ground handling or if it's a rudder authority / vertical tail volume control issue? Also the power of the slip stream effect from the prop on the tail surfaces. I just know a lot of tail draggers I fly now are absolutely uncontrollable / The rudder is useless on the ground. Having said that, it definitely will not stop me from purchasing this Spitfire. Thanks for the previews. Ken

    Can you imagine MSFS without a native Spitfire, Beau ?? That would be a disgrace, wouldn't it !

    This is not gonna be a Spitfire as we know all of them sofar, far from it. They were all beautiful and great, one after the other, but time has changed and our beloved virtual flying world has changed... Dramatically !!

    We NEED a Spitfire ( or two, three...;-) in our new dramatically changed virtually flying world. And we're gonna get it ! I mean, did you have a real good look at the screenies, Beau ? And the're just screenies, right ?

    If you go here you can see them full screen: https://www.facebook.com/Aeroplaneheaven/

    P.S. i'm not affiliated with AH whatsoever. Just a Spitfire nut who thinks it is THE most beautiful and gracious looking prop fighterplane in the world. Real or virtual. I'd rather dump MSFS than go without a Spit in it. ;-) ( and the same goes for a DC-3/C-47 ;-)

    Jarvis, If I may hijack the thread, just for a moment, to share a Chuck Berry experience. Around forty years ago my wife and I attended the New Orleans Jazz Festival. Chuck Berry was one of the headliners. We arrive for his performance early and found ourselves a nice grassy spot to sit on. Little by little others came to sit around us. They then lit up their favorite pot products. Since, we were not marijuana users it didn't take us long before the residual smoke had us figuratively floating above the ground. Let's just say that Chuck Berry's performance that day was extortionary for us.

    Now, back to Baz's Spitfire.

    Will you be giving this a proper soundset? One can only hope the AH Mosquito will be coming soon. The spit is so over-rated. ;-)
    Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

    If we had a release date, I would be counting down the hours. Really looking forward to this, Baz!

    Smoking story, Jmig !

    I can imagine even without floating above ground a Chuck Berry concert must've been extraordinairy exhilarating ! Envy you, never had the pleasure myself. I do adore the Hail,Hail Rock&Roll tribute to him organised by Keith Richards. ( fascinating to see how Chuck constantly tries to jeopardise a song just for fun and Keith constantly disapproving and rejecting it. If he wasn't grey already he would've turned to it right here! ;-)

    Just for the record, jmig, i was actually referring to Richard Wayne Penniman, aka Little Richard. Chuck died in 2017, LR last year..)

    Ok, back to the tent, errr.. Spit

    Splendid- just the ticket for those Biggin Hill to Duckie runs at low level!

    Baz- have you tried Imgur for the BB photos.... that might do the trick for you.
