You can never have enough Spits.

Hey if all that means Congress will go away and we'll finally get decent beer, it could be a significant improvement. I'm not giving up American football, though...

Hahaha! That really is good. I can imagine a dog saying those things easily.

Ooh yeah! I just love Sea Vixens. Nice one Kevin.

Most cool! Thanks so much, dude.

Happy Birthday fellas!

Got it! Thanks Kevin.

Blue Leader, this is Starlight Control. Trade for you...

So Cool! I built a 1/72 scale model of this Spit when I was a kid. It was my best work ever. I can't wait to get this one installed. Great job, Ndicki! Slartibarfast - any chance you could upload that music. I'd like to use it in my BoB install.

Action over Tunisia

That's just great stuff. I would've been acting like a kid too if I was in his place.

Mission Accomplished I hope they did a double-tap (you can never be too sure), put a stake through his heart, garlic in his mouth, and cut his head off. I hear they dropped him in running water. Good move. This pic kinda makes me think of Perseus with the Gorgon's head.

I have to go with the Mk XIV with the bubble canopy. Great lines and a certain amount menace (necessary in a warplane).

Looks fantastic Ndicki. Keep on rollin'/

Nice going, Cocas!

Awesome work Ndicki! Can't wait for you to post it up. I've got Gepard's BoB terrain and Baltika's British voicepak installed now. The new Mk I will look fantastic in it's native environment.

Hey Dude - I dragged my feet getting back to you (life happens), but here you go I tried it in hard mode, and again I loved flying it. By chance, I went up against the P-51D-30 (not the AvHistory FM), and it was like taking candy from a baby. That's great, but it's "too easy." The Mustang is the natural enemy of the 205. They should be about even in most respects with a slight advantage to the MC.205. It should be a real struggle for the 205 to defeat the Mustang, but as the player against the AI, you should (just barely) prevail. So it happens, that I made an FM for SF2 for this plane a long time ago. I wanted something else for the TW Mustang to shoot at. So I compared our two FMs. The major differences between yours and mine are here [LeftWing] / [RightWing] Yours: CL0=0.1006 CLa=1.3474 Mine: CL0=0.0112 CLa=1.085 Next section: [LeftOuterWing] / [RightOuterWing] Yours: CL0=0.0330 CLa=1.1675 Mine: CL0=0.0115 CLa=1.575 So your FM gets TONS more lift at 0 AoA (CL0). Any increase in speed and you'll get more lift, LOTS of it. If you pitch up (CLa), you still get LOTS more lift than I do. This means you lose very little speed in the combat turn, which means you can sustain the turn better than anyone. When I landed I tried to "spill air" to lose speed and altitude, but I couldn't because any nose-down attitude increases speed, and thus, more lift. I got it down, but I missed the airfield by about a mile. Take all this with a grain of salt. It's only an opinion. If you're happy with it, run with it. I certainly do with my FM mods. My rule of thumb is: Fly with the new FM. Once you're happy with it, switch to the other side and fly for it's enemy. Does it still seem reasonable? Does it match historical precedents? Is your a6m2 out-diving your P-40? If so, and the historical P-40's only real effective escape from the a6m2 was diving away, well something isn't right. Back to the drawing board. And I swear, I DO go back...for hours on end. *sigh*

In some of these I added sounds I collected. The FM is set to use them, but you can always change that if you prefer different sounds. Spitfire Mk I SF2 Spitfire MkI FM.zip Based on the TW stock Spitfire 9C. Just paste this folder into the aircraft directory and copy all your Spitfire9c files in there too. It's meant to be in a folder named "SpitfireMkI" Bf-109E-3 SF2 Bf-109E-3 FM.zip Rossouk's/Ndicki's work of art, plus a sound I pulled from somewhere. Ju-87B Stuka SF2 Ju-87B FM.zip Pasko's work of genius. Just the FM for this one. Take the Spit against the 109 for a bit, and get ready for vicious knifefight.

Your Mk I skins look terrific, Ndicki! Can't wait to get my hands on them. I'm getting ready to post new FMs soon. It'll be awesome to put them together. I wonder if it wouldn't be easier overall to use Cocas' Spits. Then we could get Mk Vs and VIIIs to order. Of course that means a lot of work for Cocas if you're up to it, buddy.
