Maybe the missing RAF variants will be included in new slots and the current ones renamed, especially since it takes no 3D work to do it (it would only need changing some parameters in the FM).

So, we might end up with a Spit Mk.I with 87 octane fuel and two-speed prop for battle of France scenarios (what we currently have, makes sense to keep it since we have the map to use it), a Spit Mk.I with 100 octane fuel and constant speed prop for battle of Britain missions, same for the Hurricanes, etc.

The E4 is also easy in that regard but it might need a bit of cockpit rework (moving the pitch control from the instrument panel to a rocker switch on the throtttle and adding the armored glass panels), but the rest of what it needs is already in the sim (the mineshells).

I'm just guessing here mind you, i just think it would be an easier way to expand the planeset than creating completely new aircraft from scratch so it might be possible.

The E-4 equipped with a automatic radiator (oil and water) and automatic Prop pitch too. E-7 equipped with external fuel tank. The /N engines (E-4/N, E-7/N) has different characteristics, than older ones (not only more powerful, but it has greater supercharger). This may mean much programming if they are not yet ready.

That's more like it. Good work!

Hopefully there are some Eyefinity and Crossfire optimizations as well.

Looking at the Hurricane shot, finally the grey perspex has been corrected to a more natural clear shade.

Cheers!
