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 don't know how accurate the mod flight model is but i think the real Griffon spitifires were also different in that regard from the Merlin engined variants, favoring speed over turn performance.

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.

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

Maybe the title of this sim might explain it, but I'm not 100% sure.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be included, because we all like to have a complete WW2 flight simulator I hope, in fact I'm looking forward to yet another high performance plane.

The hacked version of the Spit XIV is not all that great. I absolutely hate the normal cockpit view which is too close up and looks like what the zoom view should look like. And of course the zoom view is therefore way, way too up close! If I go to wide view, it looks about right but then everything outside the cockpit is smaller than it should be. So that's no answer either. If TD does the XIV, they should take a look at the normal cockpit view a bit. It's as if you are leaning tremendously forward in the cockpit as it is now. The gun sight and such are simply too big and "in yer face". Let us lean back in the cockpit a bit, huh?

It is not? Interesting. Care to elaborate on that a bit more? Besides that cockpit "issue" which is no business of the XIV alone.

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?

Would be nice indeed.

EDIT: And yes, the PM inbox is full. Daidalos Gmail adress cannot be full.

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