Spitfire MkIXe Royal Danish Air Force, 1945-1955

 

This will add an RDAF-specific version of the Spitfire LF MkIXe included in the SF2 Israel Expansion Pack. Includes correct serial numbers for all airworthy RDAF MkIXe aircraft.

 

Unfortunately, the LF.IX is not correct for the RDAF, as all MkIX aircraft in service with the RDAF were HF.MkIXs. I can not correct this myself, but if somebody else could, it would be a useful addition. The visual model is in any case identical. Danish Spitfires had rounded or clipped wingtips indifferently, and as these were interchangeable, a photograph of any particular aircraft will only show the configuration of that aircraft on that day. The "LF," "F" or "HF" designation concerns only the engine variant, not the wingtips, canopy type or armament fit.

 

This will run only in SF2I or a merged install including SF2I and the SF2I Expansion Pack.

The FM gurus may have to add a thing about this, but the way I see it wouldn't be to difficult to mod the F.IX & H.F.IX. The sole difference between those versions is for the most part at which altitude their Merlin engine developed its maximum HP, so adjusting the AltitudeDataTable in the engine section of the Spitfire_data.ini should do the trick.

 

Then again, the differences would probably be minimal and the majority of the Mk IX were powered by the Merlin 66 (that's the version rated for low altitudes) anyway.
