This will probably be the best Spitfire simulation available.

Indeed, this may be an early Christmas present to myself come payday
Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
Looking forward to the Spit, even though I'm more exited about the Viggen at this point. I really hope they get the sound right
Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
I'm excited for both! And VEAO released screenshots of their Mark XIV too, which looks decent.

Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
I really don't know about the VEAO Spitfire - the model is probably the best we've seen from them, but after the whole Hawk debacle I have zero faith in them as a developer.
Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
They've made huge strides on the Hawk though. It has multi-seat capability now (to a lesser degree online but they're working on that still) and the flight model is really good.
Then again I shot Andy's elevators off in it the other day and it carried on flying around, so...

Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
Quite excited about this
Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
Just pre-purchased it, now we play the waiting game - although first, let's see what Leatherneck has for us on the 28th
Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
I feel that their aim is to release it this year, but I think the 28th is just a live stream of the release date announcement. It's a Monday so it wouldn't be released until the end of the week anyway (patches always on Fridays)

Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
Yup, I also think it's just a stream, but hopefully with some info on when it's going to be released

Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
It's a lot of fun, even though I can't land the damn thing - take offs are fairly straight forward, but every time I land one of the wings (usually the left one) dips and I end up in the field next to the runway... Need a lot more practice I guess
Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
You're landing too fast.
Honestly, that's the cause of every bad landing I see. You have to land at about 75mph. I couldn't touch the damn thing down, even with rudder pedals, without going off and ground looping, but once I twigged that the landing speed is *so* slow, it's become a doddle.

Re: DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX available for pre-purchase
I was finding taking off the hardest but as soon as I was told to give it full right aileron and stick back to counter the torque, I found it much easier.

You might be on to something Sam, I think I might be flaring too high, will have to test some more when I get home

I've learnt to "dance on the pedals"!
