The question is not "why stuck a couple of tank cannons in a Tempest?" but "Why not?"

Pilot manual:
AG1 = Unblocking / locking of the rear wheel (controlled by yaw)
AG8 = Lock the flaps in position (to make the aircraft compatible with the autopilot - Raise them completely and then lock them to insert the autopilot)
VTOL UP = Normal flight
CENTERED VTOL = Takeoff (just close them in the air and the speed goes up)
VTOL DOWN = Landing (Open them after slowing down and lowering the landing gear)
TRIM = TRIM
B = Wheel brakes
The rest of the controls are completely standard.
Model details:
The model is on a 1: 1 scale and is the most accurate I could do compatibly with the game mechanics.
The flaps are fake, but some moving surfaces and aerodynamic brakes hidden in the model make the behavior consistent with the set position.
The landing gear is completely custom, and an aerodynamic brake hidden in the model makes the behavior consistent between the lowered landing gear and the raised landing gear.
Clostermann asserts in his book that the Tempest was five times louder than the Spitfire. To give the illusion of the 24-cylinder Saber engine I hid inside a small miniature T-2000, with a moddated propeller so as not to provide thrust.
There are lots of small "features" and details in the model. Enjoy it.
I don't know if it's the best Hawker Tempest V in SimplePlanes. It is certainly the best I could do.

Beta!
@LockheedLover here and now if you got the beta version download active. And do not ask how you can activate it, because I did it long time ago and I don't remember how. :P But if you activate it, you will automatically download every beta version as normal software upgrade.
@Baldovino where and how

@Baldovino wait a minute.........
This plane requires the beta version of the game which is currently undergoing testing and has not yet been released
@Pietro E' un piacere essere di aiuto. :)
@Baldovino Beh è sempre un piacere trovare qualche italiano in giro su simpleplanes!!!
grazie mille per l'aiuto!
@Pietro Ciao Pietro. Anche il mio inglese ogni tanto lascia a desiderare.
C'è una mod, per mettere gli screen in gioco invece che quelli presi nel costruttore.
