I recently downloaded SUNTSAG’s V-1 launchable assets pack and then spent a few hours trying to figure out how to get the V-1 to launch and fly to a target. There were no instructions with the download and not being particularly adept at DCS mission editing I fumbled around for a few hours trying various
There has been a lot of controversy about the DCS Channel map, with people complaining that we don’t have the correct plane set for the Battle of Britain etc ….. If you study this highly detailed map you will note that there is a PSP airfield installed at High Halden . This was built at
I took advantage of confinement to do more work on my mobile Spitfire cockpit that I intend to take round airshows, museums, exhibitions etc, so that people can get an idea on what it’s like to fly a Spitfire and who knows maybe convince a few more people to join us online. The cockpit separates
In this video posted by one of my customers on www.spitfirepilots.com you can see the Spitfire Histories flight controls in action in a full scale replica cockpit. Tore as done a fantastic job on the cockpit and his set up also feeds in pitch & roll movement. https://www.facebook.com/spitfirepilots/videos/454927888605704/ For more info on the controls
Happy to share with you photos and comments from a Norwegian customer who has just integrated my Spitfire Histories controls into his Spitfire MkIX sim pit. Tore E Larsen has spent hours building a full scale replica cockpit, but until recently he flew using classic HOTAS stick and throttle controls. He has now replaced these
It’s been some time since the last update because I have been busy making Spitfire sim kits for several virtual pilots and have been trying to do some development as well. On the development side I have added as standard to the kit an adjustable max take-off stop for the throttle gate. Previously this was fixed
This short video shows the functioning of the Spitfire Histories replica chassis control unit for Spitfires in flight simulators. The unit was adapted from Supermarine Aviation Works engineering drawings and is full scale. While the electronics are quite simple, an electro-optical switch activated by a paddle, the mechanical operation of the lever, the lever locking
Because of the growing interest in this project and enquiries to purchase a kit, I felt it would be useful to recapitulate what the current version of the kit offers in the way of controls and to highlight what is under development. The kit was re-designed in 3D from Supermarine Aviation Works engineering drawings. Most
DCS have just released the clipped wing “CW” version of their LF MkIXc and at last we can load bombs and external drop tanks to the aircraft. Unlike IL2 where clipped wings is an option in the load out menu, in DCS the clipped wing Spitfire is a specific aircraft type, so it must be
A friend sent me this link to a video of an advert by French TV company Canal Plus to promote the showing of Dunkirk and other films on their channel. At a period when we will be celebrating the RAF centenary this is a very light hearted look at Britains iconic Spitfire and its glorious
