Inspired by Mr B, I thought I'd have a crack at a He111 formation as well, but from a different angle.

On patrol.

Spotted something...

Closing in...

for the kill.

Rat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tat!

and back home for tea and medals.

Nice one Dave
I was going to spend some time doing another flight with Spits flying to meet them to make the story complete and now it is

I don't think I have the JF Spit.. I may have at one time but I don't now. My memory of the one I had wasn't favourable but it was FS9 and a long time ago. From what I can see of the cockpit in those shots.. it looks like a different model. Still using the RealAir model which works well with AirTrafficFX and has a dedicated AI model. Sadly.. the main model skins don't fit the AI model.. a major drawback but the full model isn't that high on poly's
The ailerons on the JF model look fine in the air but look like they've let go on the shot of it on the deck

Cheers Dave. Only re-installed the JF Spit yesterday. Didn't seem half as bad as I remembered either

The RA Spit IX is normally my Spitfire of choice too, but fancied something different this time.
Not sure what happened to the ailerons in that last pic

Think one was up and one down as I made a pigs ear out of the landing and it's the just the way the light caught it.

Those screenshots are stupendously brilliant!
Suitably gobsmacked
Did you edit the shots or does it look like that in your sim?

Great pictures Dave. Thats a lovely Spitfire. I'm not too sure about the cloud reflections in P3D however. I've turned them off because they are simply too visible. I can't ever remember seeing such clear reflections on the sea, and of course deselecting them saves me FPS.
