Spitfire with Griffon engine.

[malta knight]

Hi guys. Would it be possible if the Daidalos team could work out the spitfire with a griffon 65 engine or the Mk14.With other planes there are the latest versions for example the FW190 dora and TA152 etc.It is really a pity in such a wonderful game there isn`t the ultimate of the spitfire.

Indeed the Mark XIV is definitely a notable missing type of Spitfire in the game. When I was building Storm Clouds that was one of the two RAF types that I really could have used in that campaign but was not available.

It would be an interesting addition having significantly more power but with more difficult handling. Likely not the "ultimate" dogfight Spitfire which we already have

Yeah' I've been wanting one of these too (and a Typhoon!!) since FB came out, but unless someone ponies up and delivers one to DT (the er "third party" one, or otherwise) I doubt it'll happen.

Just to remind you lot of the "er third party" one:

Bring up a complete 3DS model with all LoDs and stuff and we would be happy to include it officially.

Is your inbox full yet? This is really a good way of throwing the gauntlet back to the community... The Griffon Spit have been whined about for almost decade - "Why is it not there (yet)? How can Oleg not understand? Why can't Daidalos? Why can't someone else put the work so that I get the plane I want for free?".

Now that this generous offer has been put up here it must just be a matter of days until you have a complete model with correct lods, damage states, FM, ammo loadouts, tracer colors, texts on all instruments and knobs in the cockpit etc as people already have thought and discussed it so much? We know exactly what we want!

Maybe "two weeks" for the community this time?

I find the lack of Spitfire Mk I and Mk XIV in this sim after all these years to be totally perplexing.
