Stephen Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 News! - Aircraft Released : Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXc by FlyingIron Any reference to the Battle of Britain and you automatically think of Boris Johnson!... oh sorry, not Brexit, but the other Battle of Britain and against basically the same foes... Lately the British don't have what advantage they had back then in the thirties with just the perfect fighter for cutting up the European Schumpeterian democracy... But in X-Plane we now do with the release of FlyingIron's Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXc, this is FlyingIron's second release after the Republic P-47N Thunderbolt, which in my eyes was the most ugliest aircraft to ever fly. Which is one thing you could never hold against the Spitfire, as this lovely creation was the ballerina against the rheumatoid negroitis (google it). Variants and the feature list is long : Spitfire Mk IX comes with 4 variants: Spitfire LF Mk IX (Merlin 66) Spitfire LF Mk IX with clipped wings (Merlin 66) Spitfire HF Mk IX (Merlin 70) Spitfire HF Mk IX with clipped wings (Merlin 70) Art & Sound Ultra-realistic 3D Cockpit Model that is used for SimPit recreations of the Spitfire (provided by Heritage Flight Simulations) Incredibly detailed modelling & texturing, both in and out of the cockpit FMOD Sound Design with 50+ Custom Sounds Dynamic multi-sounds to increase immersion & avoid repetition 10 Liveries included Animated 3D Pilot Flight Model Highly detailed & realistic simulation of the Spitfire Mk IX, performance matched to be within a few % of real-world data in all aspects of flight Custom simulation of the differential braking system & ground handling Tested by a team of real-world pilots to ensure accuracy & realism Simulation of unique Spitfire quirks, such as the need for nose-down trim on take-off and many, many more. Realistic spin & stall behavior for aerobatic flying Complex Engine Simulation Code-enhanced simulation of both the Merlin 66 & Merlin 70 engines, with the ability to switch between the two in-cockpit Complete custom simulation of the 2-stage supercharger of the Merlin engines Realistic operating limits, enforced by dynamic failures Systems Modelling Complete fuel systems simulation Realistic navigation systems simulation Emergency systems modeled Simulation of the original preset-radio system, as well as an optional cockpit-integrated modern radio system Complete oxygen systems modelling External Tank systems realistically modeled Particle FX Engine exhaust flash/flame FX Engine over-prime flameout FX Heat-Blur FX Dynamic Smoke FX Ultra-realistic canopy rain FX (powered by Skiselkov’s Rain Library) VR/GUI Box GUI Panel is VR-ready & integrated into the cockpit for maximum immersion (optional – can be hidden) Ability to switch between engine types, toggle ground elements and optional cockpit elements. Autopilot feature for long-distance flights Extra Features Static Elements modeled (Chocks, Tie-downs & GPU) Functional & adjustable RAF Reflector Gunsight (optional) Optional cockpit-integrated 3D GPS (Garmin 530) Functional weapons & controls (Guns & Bombs) Optional landing light But the manual isn't completed yet? which makes for a first look around and even a first flight a bit of a head scratcher?... the brake handle anyone? so I will just show you some nice pictures of all the nice things you don't know what to do with yet... X-Plane 11.30+ Requirements: Windows, Mac or Linux 4Gb VRAM Minimum - 8Gb+ VRAM Recommended Current version: 1.0 (January 29th 2019) Download Size: 1.3 Gb Requirements are of a large download (1.3gb) but you do get both the archetypal round tip, and those speedy clipped wing variants.... .... just the thing for Boris to go over there and straffle those uncompromising Euro buffoons "eh"... Overall excellent... Now available at the X-Plane.OrgStrore! ______________________________________________________________________ Yes! the Spitfire Mk IX by FlyingIron is now available from the X-Plane.Org Store here : Spitfire Mk IX Price is US$34.95 ________________________________________ News by Stephen Dutton 30th January 2019 Copyright©2019: X-Plane Reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
