This is actually a CFS2 Spitfire by Paul Rebuffat, with a new FS9 panel & repaint by Morton over at The Sim-Outhouse. Also incorporating some proper engine sounds by Lawdog, also at SOH.

Wish I could afford the Realair Spitfire. But I have found with some trial and error and tweaks, my end result is a pretty fair alternative, judge for yourselves ...

Added my own 5-bladed prop texture and not bad for a 10 year old CFS2 Spit! So I spliced all of these mods together and it makes quite a nice package, the only drawback is the contact points for the tailwheel, and I can live with that.

Why not join and explore www.sim-outhouse.com - it's free!

The livery seen here is a MK.XIV flown by a Dutch RAF unit late war. The Orange triangle is the identifier for Dutch fliers.

Flying initially out of RAF Barkston Heath with a touch and go at RAF Cranwell. Flying further to RAF Coningsby for another T/G and then finally landing back at Cranwell, home of the RAF College.

All sceneries are right here @ Flightsim for FS9.

Including one bonus pic of Morton's repaint of a Luftwaffe ME-109F seen in North Africa, circa 1942.

Cheers & Enjoy! Mike ;)

I do love the Griffon engined Spits. They look so pretty with a 5 bladed prop.

Brilliant shots Mike. Nice scenery too.

Lovely stuff mate. If you package it in a zip file and send it to rorythomson#ymail.com (change # for @) Ill try to fix the tail wheel issue for you.

Wow, you've really made yourself a nice Spitfire.

I spotted a couple little flaws in the physical model, but only the biggest Spitfire geeks are going to see 'em. (notably the fact that its a BF109 in the last shot...)

Very nice set, and congratulations on your inexpensive solution!

Very nice set. You should save and definitely get the Real Air Spit. Not only it's beautifully rendered but the flight model is superb.

Great shots Mike, it looks pretty good for an old model.
