This is turning out to be the Gran Turismo of console flight sims (at least I hope and pray)

You can see a parachute under the 109 in the third pic. Nice find!

These are great. Shame that they got the spit and hurri's wrong though...I hope they include the correct mark 1's in a dowload add-on pack...

Technically both aren't correct for the Battle of Britain. The only cannon armed spit used were the 1B, but they didn't have 2 .303's in each wing-and the Hurricane in the game is the later mark 2B model with 12 .303's.
The correct Hurricane should be the mark 1 with 8 .303's and the correct spit should be the 1A with 8 .303's or the 1B with 2 cannons

Now cmon, there were twenty four variants of the Spitfire alone. The differences between most of them were so minor as to be insignificant. If it wasn't a major change to the engine, armament or airframe, who cares, honestly?

At some point, you have to say "ok, that is a spitfire with X engine and X armament" rather than "Hey, they didn't have 2 .303s in 1941, that was only in 1942!"

It's basically the equivalent of complaining in a warfare game about a Panzer IV being Ausf G when in fact only Ausf As were available at that particular month or something. Meaningless quibbling, in short
