Stepping away from performance issues, the most famous of aircraft needs a fix:-
The Spitfire Mark choosing panel needs correcting, it is applying a Mark ll spinner (the bulbous rounded one) and blade (broad root) to the Mark 1a ! There was no difference in spinner and props on both the Mk1 and 1a. The consequence of this error is that we are seeing mostly Mkll spitifires being flown by users yet the Battle of Britain had mostly Mark 1 and 1a ! Also we are seeing early black/white camouflage on mark ll aircraft which is most confusing and incorrect.

Wooden blades did not exist on any BoB spitfire, 1 1a or ll

Side aerials were not seen on spitfires for most of the period.

Crowbars were never carried in the BoB and need removing from the door.

The ability to apply Hurricane codes to spitfires and Spitfire codes to Hurricanes should be corrected.

Pilots of Hurricanes and spitfires wearing side caps and headphones looks wrong, that never happened. Lets see the pilots inside the aircraft look correct.

Give the Luft and RAF blue grey uniforms not light grey and cyan.

Give people in Luft gunners positions the correct gunsight, a simple cross hair.

The spitfire cockpit, I have yet to see in the release version a Mark 1 cockpit, see list of 18 or more alterations on other threads, some very large.

These are just some of a long list of fixes required.

I have to say that there is much that is awesome, just fantastic.
