Thank you, but the quality is very small. Well pleased and it is there.

[Jafa]

Yes its just a copy of what I had , if I ever find the original ill post it.
What do you want it for anyway ?

[Kant]

I am very happy for your some help, I had in mind the size of the image that would be very small for these drawings to work with 3d Max

[ton414]

Sure, this is good.

[Jafa]

Hi ton , that looks pretty spot on , I think its worth noting on the 47 they a running a revised griffon with a two stage twin speed Griffon so the nose and radiators go back to XIV size and depth also the wing was redesigned  , this of course is from memory , ill try and dig up more info on the latter and get back to you.

And Some Info For Doc ...here is a Mk21 with experimental contra's

Put some barn doors on the wheel wells and redesign the fin and you have yourself a new Mk...almost 

[ton414]

Thanks Jaffa, yes, changes in the wings, rudder, keel ..., new engine: Griffon 87, and sure, some more details:



I have found this interesting book:

Hey ton, the Mark 45 looks astonishingly similar to your original Spitfire XIV contr prop

I tried this plane out today and everything seemed to work fine until I got a CTD during a quick mission.  I and my flight were cruising back to base after a prolonged dogfight while the second flight was already in the pattern.  The CTD occurred immediately after the number 8 plane requested landing clearance.

EDIT: Just ran another test, this time with a scramble mission.  CTD at 100%.  I suspect there's a problem with the landing gear, given that both CTDs occurred at a time when the gear was likely down.

Hallo

I am a great collector of alot of versions of one plane in IL-2  (Bf-109, Spits, FW-190 etc)  ... but..

for not overstressing our beloved 3d-artist we should only ask for the really final developement versions of the seafire and spitfire !

Seafire FR.47   and Spitfire Mk.24

In principle all earlyer variants (despite produced in important numbers) were developement steps on the way to handle the enormous torque of the mighty Griffons.

Whyle the Navy choosed the contraprop way,  the airforce (they had trials with contraprops too) chossed the way of a way bigger tail/Keel/Rudder. already the last Mk.21 had these bigger tails.
The early Mk.21 were: " not flyable for average pilots..."
All of the last Spit-Seafire versions had the modified shorter AND stiffer wings for better rollrates

Its just my meaning


Thx @ all people who supporte the developpement of these powerfull planes

Cheers

Thankyou Doc Holiday for this great mod.I am just having a ctd when I lower the undercarriage, similar to Blackbird.I also get this crash happenning when I start a scramble mission in QMB.

Hi Dinga

In my Game-Installation (newest DBW heavy modded) I can`t reproduce Your problem with the undercarriage.  In QMB and FMP I can start and land without problems ??!!

What Installation (Modpac UP, SAS, DBW....) do You use ???


Cheers
Doc
