Correcting the Spitfire MkVc (WIP) - totalspoon - 01.01.2008

A pet hate of mine is the cockpit of the Spitfire Vc's (2 and 4 cannon). For some reason the cockpit has been set well above the plane itself. If you have 6DOF on, you can lean forwards and look down and see your prop and engine way down below. My objective is to try and fix this. As I'm new to modding I thought I'd try something easy first.

The majority of the 2447 Spitfire Vc's produced were flown by the RAF from bases in the United Kingdom and had the standard nose profile without the Volks filter. I've been playing around trying to change the nose of the RAF's Spitfire Vc2

Here's the progress so far





There's two separate spit models in the game that don't seem to be interchangable. The Spit Vb and Spit IX are layed out one way and the Seafire, Spit Vc and Spit VIII the other. As I couldn't use the ideal Vb nose, I've placed a Seafire nose (same Merlin 50/55 series motor) on the Vc. It has a few problems (wrong exhaust pipes and carb air intake) but its a work in progress....

Any help from the more experienced modders would be appreciated

If you could get the small intake to work on that it would be awesome! I have really hoped for a 5C with the Vokes filter.

How about making a new Mk. 9 from the Mk.8? By putting the 5Cs narrow chord rudder on the Mk. 8. Good luck with the cockpit fix, we'll take it.
