Rare Seafire as gear up landing

[conio]

- The grass color doesn't look right.
- The damage model needs some tweaking.
- The dust "puff" moved too fast.

Should have turned the engine off and glided in....imagine all the damage inside that engine!

Then again....she is alive and that's more important and at-least she wont have to reverse it into a Hangar

Cheers, MP

hahahahhaah i can't stop laughing. oh to add one, the propeller doesn't look very realistic.

I wonder why he did this though, pilot mistake or gear failure. it's sad seeing such a beautiful spitfire nose in onto the grass.

lol. True True.

Aww...

You know, in IL-2 1946 the Seafire is my favorite airplane. Handles like a Spitfire, and you can land on aircraft carriers. Have your cake and eat it too. I used the dynamic campaign generator to create a fictional alternate-history campaign where the USN bought a whole bunch of Seafires and used them in the Pacific. That series of missions was the most fun I had in '46.

At least this plane shouldn't be in too bad shape. The engine will need a lot of work, of course, but the rest is just sheet metal. You can always get more sheet metal. Just a matter of time and money.

and im sure if the Sea was in there, the waves would be to high lol

Surprised the prop was made of wood, at least it appears to be.

[pupo162]

oh yes! i had the same surprise when i foudn that 190 props were wood, whe none crashed on the sea a year back

Brilliant landing.

Glad she's safe.

Dead sticking that in would have resulted in
more damage to the airframe and engine.

Once the prop hits the ground engine on or off
the crankshaft's damaged either way.
