Spitfire for FSX

[Sokol1]

Better if A2A guys have modeled Margaret Horton to hold this Spit tail.

Even at my age it would be a treat to see Spit Girl with a short skirt holding down that tail section

Well BoB addons for FSX seem rather popular at present.

I have never quite understood why - on those rare occasions that I do fly FSX myself (it runs like a dog on my PC) I tend to fly things I have flown in real life over the years like Skyfox Gazelles, C152/C172 and Piper Warriors.


They do look mighty prurty though ....

Nice sky and clouds in that video......wonder if Oleg plans to show us some Atmospheric shots any time soon rather than the fluffy cotton ball IL2 ones we keep seeing?

Cheers, MP

As you know, OM and Luthier have said that the 'weather' simulation they'd been developing for CloD was too clunky at this point for CLoD but would be available as part of the FMB in a 'use at your own risk' offering, apparrently it my work on some people's rigs on some small maps. Once they've refined the 'weather' it'll become part of the sim proper. Untill then we're stuck with fluffy clouds and monodirectional map wide wind.

Given that I think showing shots of what the 'weather' is capable looking like would be misleading at this point and would sure to come back and bite them in the ass when customers complain that they've got lame fluffy clouds instead of the towering storm fronts they saw in some screenies.

First: You cannot compare FSX and IL-2 ... simply two completely different concepts.
Second: If you have to concentrate on producing only one plane and do not need to care for any limits, you can do wonder - no matter what.
Third: Bf109E's never carried a desert scheme over England - well done, Just Flight! XD

... and maybe as Fourth: Ever anyone been able to fly a Hs129 anywhere else?

I am wondering though, when A2A said that there are elements to their Spitfire which has never before been modeled, I am imagining that they are referring to a released product.
I am hoping that they are only able to say this as Cliffs of Dover hasn't yet been released.

Also, comparing Cliffs of Dover to FSX is apples and oranges, as the saying goes.
FSX does a decent job in giving you the impression of flying anywhere in world you want, however, Cliffs of Dover and even Il2, do a far superior job in giving the impression and feel of aerial combat.
