You have to edit hier.him and rename gear parts to match calls in java from moveGear method from Spitfire IX.

On the Spitfire IX there are two parts concerning the tailwheel, named GearC1 and GearC2. The Spitfire VIII has 5 parts, named GearC1 to GearC5. C1 is the wheel itself, C2 is the bracket holding the wheel and C3 is the strut. C4 and C5 are the tailwheel doors, and since these are not found on the SpitVc from which I took the parts I moved the doors into the fuselage to a point where they can't be seen in either open or closed positions.

I'm wondering if it might not be a better idea to use the MkVc as a base and add MkVIII parts (ironically this is exactly how the real MkIX was made) because this would solve the tailwheel problem, and it is easy enough to reposition the other parts.
