Spitfire with Griffon engine.

Lol, like this one?

When the tools for COD appear I might give the old mesh a re-vamp and try it out. I did make it originally for IL-2, but that was a long time ago, the window closed for inclusion.

You mean, it was meant to be included by Oleg, prior to the illegal opening of the game files? Then there is a chance, that you made it up to the direction of the demanded standards? Sounds interesting.

Is that an ingame screen or a rendering?

Well, that is clearly a Spitfire F Mk 22. Kind of out of context with the first two being delivered in June/July 1947.

Well... taken all the available '46 and 'what if' content into account, it would still be a nice addition. "Einem geschenkten Gaul..." - oder?

Under that aspect, of course. Any addition is a good thing.

That was the plan. It's a bit academic really, there's not much left of the original, other than LOD 0 I think. The c/p disappeared somewhere, so that'd have to built from scratch again. I'm just trying to remember the name of the fellow who was building a MkXIV. He'd built the geometry/damage/LOD's, when the window closed, IIRC he was working on the textures. Shame really.
Yep it was a render I took, before life got in the way, lol. S'funny...I was having a dig through some old FB files found the materials and stuff I used on the Su-2...Ahh happy days

Zorin,

If I remember my history correctly, the first production Mk22 flew in March 1945 (which at the time I took part in 3rd party), was still ok for inclusion as the rules stood at that time. If I'd had time it might have ended up in the 'what if'.

I see. If you find some happy new about it... don't hesitate to make some noise.

@Malta Knight: no... in fact we currently don't have that much resources for making it on our own... if you speak about manpower and not manuals/pics.

Rare bird except with auxiliaries.

The F24 saw more active service ... including Malaya.

Caspar,

Is the modelers guide still around? I seem to remember Ilya, or someone writing on all those years ago, had all the materials stuff and the rules for pivot points etc. It's all very hazy in the back of aging grey cells. I still remember the frustration of not being able try the mesh out in the engine before submitting it, is one of the reasons why I'm waiting with baited breath for the COD tools. I can only guess you guys have arrangement with 1C regarding the tools? If you get a mo, PM me on what the deal is.

I'm not promising anything but maybe building a XIV, or something might be a good way of getting back into it again..Dunno we'll see.

Cheers,

Biggs
