Back to a temporary slide show when I approach other 'planes.

There's definitely a texture loading issue.

Oh heavens it's a beast - I'm glad I'm flying VVS this month! Fantastic work as usual.

[ruby_monkey]

Was there ever any concave mirrors used in the spifire? The flat mirror is rather uhh, well not relaly useful since it has like a 5 degree field of view and I don't have trackir to easly look around it.

Convex, no? A concave mirror (like a shaving mirror) would only show you the Bf-109s in your left nostril.

 

But I think they were all flat, anyway.

Unlike some I seem to have got a performance gain from the update, even with grass on max over Moscow airfields and the new enhanced forest rendering.

 

After reading of issues I downloaded the latest nVidia drivers, but my current version from few months back is working better than before, and I haven't updated yet.

 

Using GTX1060.

 

No Kuban for me yet....unfortunately... but great to hear everyone's impressions of the Spit.

[216th_Jordan]

No fun here .....

 

 

Downloading the update

 

Fps max 5

 

Game is no longer payable

 

Before the update 60 fps  on normal settings

 

 

 

 

amd six core

geforce gtx 680

8 gig ram

 

As others have said before in this thread, update your graphics drivers and try again

Same here. The performance gain is remarkable. With my settings before the patch I had stable 45 FPS with High settings. Now I got up to 60 FPS smooth & stable.No lags or stutters.Even on high populated servers with many Badaboom around me.

 

...and this with my GTX750 (OC)

Even though I don't quite like the Spit, it's a blast to fly it in VR!
Perfectyl great update, thanks devs

 

(And bring the A-20 and Hs129 already!!! )

(And Kuban!)

(And Pacific!)

(And a better AI!)

Geeez am I adictied, since VR I don't barely touch anything else...

[SYN_Mike77]

I'm having trouble getting the radiator to open and close with my throttle quadrant axis.  Is there a special key binding for the Spit or something?

[[CPT]Pike*HarryM]

It has fixed settings so can't use axis, bind to open/close buttons.

[SYN_Mike77]

OK, so how do you control it?

[LukeFF]

OK, so how do you control it?

Same buttons as those used with the Bf 110 water radiators.

[No601_Swallow]

OK, so how do you control it?

 

I don't know, since I'm on holiday away from my computer (Booo!), but I expect you can bind the open/close radiator commands to the same ones you use for other aircraft like the He111 or the, erm.... can't remember!

 

Edit! Luke beat me to it!

Edited July 6, 2017 by No601_Swallow

[SYN_Mike77]

Ok thanks, that did it.  I had to look those up!  They did not add the Spit to that keybinding 

[Irgendjemand]

and how do i open oil radiator please? cant find the setting

[Sokol1]

As for the water radiator: I get that there are 5 positions, but I would still prefer to be able to use an axis on my Saitek to control this - after all the RL pilot does move a lever around an axis to get to the 5 positions, he does not have to press buttons (and squint at a keyboard to do it).

 

To be fair RL pilot need press the button on top of lever to unlock and be able move the lever for the next catch (radiator position). 

[LLv24_Zami]

Oil radiator can`t be controlled, just water.

[PapaFlo]

Oil is automatic, no controls needed.

What? Five minutes with full power.

[Jizzo]

Thank you very much, for such an awesome Spitfire.

 

Keep up the fantastic work! 

 

[deckerrunner]

Hi Decker,  Spit Vb has cannon installation with 60 round drum for each gun so not a lot of firing time - around six seconds worth.  Spinning out with flaps?

 

Spitfire flaps are for landing only.  Nothing else.

 

Good luck

 ty dd-arthur      i think it installed and i went straght in and tryed it was like hmm but then i went back in it seem fine, it sank in proper so it needs a littie bit of de-bugging around the top of a climb and flaps are open but you pointed that out and ty, so looks like i jumped the gun and about 10 mins ago it hit me she sex with wings im loveing how it all comeing along and the sounds are very near if not im more that happy cant stop pressing the f3 and i have tryed her a diffrent speeds and pressing the f3 wow nice job the ammo just seems like the timeing  off or speed of the cannon eats up the ammo  before it should and im good at holding back on fireing 2 sceond bursts,pls do a white cliff of dover map  ,i ask to much i no but im happy she here, great work team and jason if i my be so bold ~ slute .

[PicksKing]

Now I can handle 4K with >60fps and max details. The performance boost is stunning.

[Blutaar]

I killed 5 Ace 109 F4 AIs within 9 min and got 40% cannon ammo left and my emergency timer replenished in no time. Is it just me or does it feel a bit overpowered (cannons and engine cooldown)?

[1.JaVA_KEBEN]

It works Jordan , videocard driver update .. it works fine now !

[unreasonable]

To be fair RL pilot need press the button on top of lever to unlock and be able move the lever for the next catch (radiator position). 

 

True - but the RL pilot can easily change the radiator setting without having to look down into the cockpit, which is something I can do with a Saitek axis but not if I have to hunt for a keyboard comb like R-Ctrl + =

I've killed 5 Ace spitfires in less than 5 minutes Maybe 109 is overpowered?

[ScotsmanFlyingscotsman]

Magic, THANK YOU for the Spitfire, but you do realise you will now be plagued with Brits saying 'It does not sound like a Spitfire etc,' The sound is unique and generates a quite moment at every airshow. Me, I'm delighted with it. Been in one and it's the right colours etc.

Does anybody know how much the spitfire mirror hits the performance? Any experience with that?

Excellent job 1CGS,

 

Thank you for this masterpiece, this Spitfire has a lot more character than all the other sim models i flew.  And what a sound, it's like there's a lethal monster buzzing in the skies!!!

 

Congratulations, you rule the sim world

hehe, i just tried to repeat the 5 kills but had no luck yet.

 

But seriuosly, the emergency mode recovery is very short. Did tried it 5 times now. Have to try it with the 109 now, maybe it is shorter for every plane.

 

 

It is just you.

Ok

 

BTW, the Spit feels very good, nice job Devs.

 

Dont get me wrong, i it was just meant that i only needed 60% cannon ammo to down the 5 109s, not that i want to show how good my skills are.

 

AI is just to easy especially in a turnfighter so no skill invovled from my side, sry for not being clear enough.

It's right there on the loadout page.

Oops, with "performance" I meant the frame rate

[PapaFlo]

Great Update. The Spitfire was always one of my favorite birds and this one right here excels my expectations. Thank  you very much!

 

Just one thing i find a little strange - is it me or is the Spitfire missing exhaust flames?

That's how it's meant to be with these particular exhaust stacks.

Spitfire Mk.VВ a beautiful bird 

 

In the description of Browning's .303 the caliber should it not be 7.7mm instead of 7.92mm?

I've been making this over the past few days to celebrate the release. Congrats, team!
