Spitfire Mk.V

6,143 FredDeane  7.4 years ago

A better working version of my previous upload. The Mk. V was produced in late 1940 because there was a need for a fighter that could fly at higher altitudes to confront the new Junkers Ju 86P bombers. The Mk V was basically made from a Mk.I Spitfire with the Merlin 45 Series engine. This new engine incorporated a new single stage supercharger. The carburettor also saw some improvements to allow for zero gravity flight. I hope you enjoy flying this legendary fighter, I can only apologise that the flight characterists are not what they should be, regrettably this is as good as I could get them.

    @Cypfire I use fine tune to put everything in place but the mod is not essential.

    @Cypfire What I do is take a fuselage block, scale them to the right thickness and then they do just sit on the wings in the right place. Give it a go, I use some of the mod tools to use fuselage blocks for the ailerons.

    Do you use a mod for putting some wings into those fuselage block (to create a non flat-wing)
