Supermarine Spitfire Mk. 24
War is an ugly thing. So much violence, hatred, pain, and suffering. Hitler and the Luftwaffe raised themselves up against the fair people of Britian. So many brave pilots sacrificed themselves for the good of the island. This is the Battle of Britian. The Hawker Hurricane, which served in every major engagement in the great battle, wasn't all that great and needed to be supplemented by something better. Enter, the spitfire. The spitfire offered success after success and eventually became a legend.It had problems, but also showed so much room for growth. So the Spitfire evolved and evolved and evolved until... the Mk. 24 was born. The culmination of lessons learned, this aircraft was undeniably the best out of all the Marks. Sadly, it was also the last. Here ends the legend, the last of a great line. ENGINE IS SUPER POWERFUL, SO FLY AT MORE OR LESS 40%. Also, do not activate anything. I chose not to add weapons, but ehh..

6,499 XVIindustriesA great little representation of a great plane :) but I'm more of a hurricane guy.. Reliable and robust.. Half canvas plane served until 449.4 years ago

16.2k LordofLegoI like how realistic the speed is. Those idiots blathering about modded engines have their heads in the sand. Modded engines are the future.9.5 years ago

15.9k AllstarThis is one of the planes I'd like you to rate. @Rambo10509.7 years ago

1,122 LtJesterSuper sexy and I don't know why everyone is giving you hate for the engine it's either realism or a really slow plane guess you can't please everyone.9.8 years ago

15.9k AllstarI DID!!! Maybe that level of speed would have worked for an earlier spitfire, but without this engine, it wouldn't be this fast. @RocketLL9.8 years ago

19.7k RocketLL@Allstarship Well, check out my propeller planes. Do you think you're the only one having trouble with this? I used part clipping for jet engines. You should have tried other methods first.9.8 years ago
-
15.9k AllstarI'm not even the one who modded this. I found it and saw a solution to my propellor problems. This is in the public domain, so absolutely no cheating is going on.9.8 years ago
-
15.9k Allstar@RocketLL @Unstableorbit I understand that you guys have an isssue with xml modding, but c'mon. 2 stars for this plane is too harsh and you know it. Especially you RocketLL. You just jumped on the bandwagon. This is just a realistic model. The normal engines are too weak. I've tried them. Besides, y should i go oit of my way just so that i won't use ONE FRIGGIN PART that some people have a problem with. Nobody's getting screwed over here but me.9.8 years ago

19.7k RocketLLAwesome, but seriously, XML modding?9.8 years ago

Dev weebabyseamusThis looks amazing, and flies like a bat out of hell. But as some one so eloquently put it, there is a throttle for a reason. Jet props, modded props, you can never make everyone happy on this site. It just proves the obvious point that the propeller engines need an update which makes it so you can tweak the power/blades to match the replica. Especially for bigger war birds. Keep up the good work!9.8 years ago

36.6k UnstableOrbit@Allstarship I understand. My quarrel isn't with using modded pieces for yourself, but rather releasing them to the public and/or intending to sue them in MP. The thing is, people who DON'T have any qualms about being an unfair douchebag now have access to these pieces since they are being spread.9.8 years ago
-
15.9k AllstarSo what do you suggest. I've tried to use the normal engine+ small jet engine and it's still too slow to accurately portray this model. I hate having to use modded engines, but the devs have not provided a solution. Don't take your anger out on me. I feel the same way and if competitive multiplayer does ever come out, i'll be the last to use modded parts. @UnstableOrbit9.8 years ago
-
36.6k UnstableOrbitBeautiful plane, but I honestly cannot give it the rating it deserves because you went and used an xml-modded engine.9.8 years ago
-
36.6k UnstableOrbit@thomasjaf Ditto. I am absolutely loathing the rampant spread of modded engines and fueltanks on the site. It is going to cause SO MUCH CHAOS in multiplayer!9.8 years ago
-
6,133 thomasjafWhy the modded engine...? :( It's taking hours to react! The plane looks great but I hate the engine so much I can't rate it impartially...9.8 years ago

72.5k AuthrosLooks good. I assume that is a modded prop, seems too fast. About 25% throttle is appropriate for speed and lift, otherwise it just goes up.9.8 years ago
