When I said last week that the new Spitfire XIV for CFS3 was the best Spitfire around, I lied…

The Merlin bursts into life.

Up and away, climbing out of Duxford.

Outnumbered 8 to 5, I lead the squadron into a sky full of 109s.

I single out my first victim.

A burst of 20mm sends this 109 into oblivion.

As I pull out of the debris, I see target number two.

A short burst into the engine sends out a cloud of white smoke.

Inspecting victory number two.

Ammo gone, fuel low, back home to Duxford. Look at all that right rudder I need to stay on the tarmac!

The Vickers Supermarine Spitfire MkVb. Pure magic.

Built in larger numbers than any other Spitfire the MkV in its various forms served as the RAF’s front line fighter from 1941 until 1943 when sufficient numbers of its successor, the MkIX – a MkV based derivative, became available. MkVs remained in front line use with some units until after D-Day in June 1944.

This superb Spitfire for CFS3 was made by Josh Ziebarth "Zuyax" and Bill "Spitfrnd" Wilson is available from AvHistory. GET IT NOW!!

Stunning shots, Tempest, very nice.

I got that baby too, and shes got wee bit of a temper, I was able to get 5 Krauts before running outta ammo, with that things power, those Bf-109s were dropping like flies on my computer. Only down side is that, that thing has got too much torque, makes take offs and landings extreamly hard.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

This is by far the nicest CFS3 Spitfire so far, miles better than the stock MkIX and much nicer to fly than the awesome MkXIV.
Thanks for all your comments chaps Grin

I just noticed that my gunsite in the Virtual Cocpit doesn't work, (I been flying in the HUD mode), it shows up as a big grey rechtangle, is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone know a fix? Also if your not having this problem then can you sent me a copy of the Virtual Cocpit .M3D file?
