love this thing. flies great and looks smooth
@KingOfTypos The complete version looks really nice! If you want me to test any in VR, just tag me on the post.
@AndrewGarrison oh no i never noticed this issue until now! Thank you for pointing it out. Im thinking on fixing it on the already complete version, but without the livery, antenna, Anti-glare, and exhaust. It goes down to 347 parts, but question is, is it okay to reupload that one when it had alot of changes (flight physics wise) from this post's version?
The cockpit feels pretty good in VR. The wheels struggle with (mobile) low physics, which is what the Quest uses. This could probably be improved by adding some dead weight to the wheel assemblies. Tag me if you reupload.
@Tang0five should have waited a bit for the one with Livery lol
Bloomin marvellous, I particularly like the wing construction v smooth!
Really nice
@Pnicks15 I believe 618kph at 3200m might be TAS not IAS, right now at 3000m you're doing over 710kmh, also for the wings, maybe try using unscaled wing that follow the outline of the actual wings instead of the 0.1 scale wing you have at the root of the wing.
@DeezDucks lmao yeah, this spit goes way too fast, i did alot of tweaking and i cant find the right one as i intended to make its size and weight both a 1:1 from the real one. The real one goes 618kph @ 3,200m but even then this build of mine goes 640kph+ at 500m and thats bugging me too.

Edit:
maybe ill fix it on the final version. As for the method...ill have to find it on my own it seems...
I do enjoy me a nice Spitfire, the body is well done for under 350 parts. However it accelerates way too fast for a prop plane, it feels faster than even some of the most powerful jets. also it turns like it's on rails. I'm not sure how fast this particular Spitfire goes but it might be a good idea to tune down the engine and adjust the wings so it has a bit more character when it turns.
@ArkRoyalTheDDhunter that, i wasnt sure since i dont use inch lol, lemme edit that now.
