[MOD] AMT - Spitfire L.F. Mk.XVIe Pack Version 1.0 - F22-Raptor-2006 - 24.12.2009
The Aviator Mod Team presents the Spitfire L.F. Mk.XVIe
This is the first mod to be released by the Aviator Mod Team! This pack represents the Spitfire L.F. Mk.XVIe with the bubble canopy, which appeared in RAF service around late 44/early 45. With the Luftwaffe barely coming to the fight, these aircraft switched from the interceptor role to ground attack. Some units even armed these aircraft with 2x RP-3 rockets on zero-length launchers. With the Packard-built Merlin 266 engine, clear view bubble canopy and clipped wings, this represented the ultimate Merlin Spitfire variant and is undoubtedly one of the finest piston fighters ever produced.
Information- This Mod Pack includes 4 variants, Full wing and clip wing bubble top spitfires, either with 18lbs boost or 25lbs boost.
- Canopy can fall off at speeds over 250 kph TAS so do not exceed this whilst flying with it open.
- Download is an automatic installer, please point this installer to your IL-2 Sturmovik Directory Folder. Further, more detailed information is provided in the installer.
- air.ini, plane_ru.properties and weapons_ru.properties will have to be manually added. (Please note depending on your game install they may not be in the same location as the readme file states, but the majority will be).
Features- Represents the Spitfire L.F. Mk.XVIe variants with bubbletop
- Sliding Canopy (Do not exceed 250kmh TAS when open)
- New 3D for nose, canopy and fuselage
- Custom Flight Models
- Dynamic Centre of Gravity
- Historically Accurate loadouts

Known Bugs that will be fixed in due course:
4xHispano 3D does not show up in aircraft selection page due to game limitations
Cockpit internally is not quite correct
A few LOD problems still remain but nothing substancial(i.e. something disappears at a certain distance or isn't quite right)
(These will be fixed in a later patch after New Years)
