I made this mod for a new version of the Spitfire MkIX, based on the MkVIII model, a while ago, but I haven't had a chance to finish it until now.

Anyway, because the new models use a completely different skin mapping to the default MkIX, and needs to use the MkVIII's cockpit, I want to put it into a new slot to avoid online problems.

I don't really know how to create slots, and my efforts to do so have mostly resulted in the game crashing at 20% loaded, which I'm told is a sign of bad or corrupted Java files, so I need either someone to create slots for these planes (MkIXc, MkIXc CLP, MkIXe and MkIXe CLP) or teach me how to do this.

I would also like to have opening canopies for these planes, and none of the MkVIII or MkIX FM's have these (apart from the MkVIIIFB, whose slot this is using at the moment), so I would need a suitable adaptation of either the MkVIII's or MkIX's FM in standard and clipped winged versions. The opening canopies aren't essential but would be nice to have, so if this isn't possible the existing MkIX FM's can be used.

If anyone would like to see this mod out there and can help with either of the problems I have, please contact me via PM to discuss this further.

Regards
