The Spit IA should have a Constant Speed Prop

[IvanK]

Devs have been informed directly of a number of issues (mechanisation and graphical) on relation to DH and ROTOL props on the Spitfires.
This includes the option of DH 2 pitch VP, DH CS props converted from 2 pitch. ROTOL CS props.

Hopefully where its going is this:

Spitfire I DH 2 pitch VP
Spitfire IA DH CS
Spitfire IIA ROTOL CS (i.e. as it is now)

Engine differences between the Merlin III and Merlin XII, 100 Octane usage have been fully documented and are with the Devs.

As Jonsey says "Dont panic ... dont panic"

Sounds great. Mission builders should have the Spitfire I DH 2 pitch VP for early war scenarios and the two other for BoB scenarios with CSUs.

Note: pilot armor was introduced to Spitfires at around mid-June 1940, there were none equipped so at the start of the Battle of France/Dunkerque, so optimally the 2-pitch ones should get a corresponding graphical and DM update (i.e. no armor).

Same goes to Hurricanes, iirc four Squadrons had pilot armor installed on 10 May 1940.

Great news. The inclusion of the variable pitch and CSU MkI's will really flesh out the Spitfire range and make a lot of people (including me) happy.

Hopefully a lot of the work has been done so we get our early Mk1's before we start needing MKV's!

Cheers!

Good news. Just a note that might have been overseen: according to pilot's notes general 2nd edition the 20° props (i.e. DH mod. to CSP) don't have enough pitch range and may cause to high rpm in a dive with very high speed. 35° props (i.e. Rotol) don't have that problem.
