The Growl of the Griffon.

At last, a real Spitfire for CFS3 . Lets take a ride with Kiwi Ace, Wing Commander Colin Grey in his Spitfire MkXIVc.

The Spitfire XIV cruising along looking for something to shoot!

I see something down there, lets take a closer look.

Down on the deck. This plane is superb at low altitude.

A spot of strafing.

Air to air time. Will this Spit live up to my expectations?

Turning into a 190A.

I put a few rounds into one and turn away before I run into him. I never saw the one that passed right under my nose until I took this screen shot!

I catch up with the first one again and finish him off. He starts trailing smoke and goes down.

Inspecting my

Hehehe. I was going to drop you a PM telling you of this bird.

Nice shots. And shooting for that matter. I shall probably pick it up myself sometime in the week.

But honestly now, does it really beat using the Tempest in a dogfight?

[HawkerTempest5]

If I'm totally honest Woody, the Tempest is far more stable and harder hitting. The Spit is faster and I found myself having to throttle back to stop myself running into my target where usually I have to fly full throttle and hit the WEP all the time. I should also add that it has the propper slipper tanks also rather than those Mustang tanks on the MkIX.

I wonder how long it'd be before we saw Hawker and the infamous droptanks! All in fun, but they do bother you don't they?

Great Pics there. Reallt must re-install my CFS3 one day.

Great shots HawkerTempest5. For a second I actually thought you had posted pictures of a Fairey Firefly.  Then I remembered that the Firefly wasn't the only plane with a Griffon engine.  How could I forget the Spitfire MkXIV?

Well, for the first time in about three months, I now have the desire to go fly CFS3.

Yeah, they do. I know I go on about it. Sometimes I think I forget it's just a sim. It's the Warbird enthusiast in me talking I think.
(P.S. I didn't mention that the MkXIV shouldn't have a solid arial mast did I )

Well, for the first time in about three months, I now have the desire to go fly CFS3.  Now see what you've done!  If it had a bubble canopy, I would have to excuse myself for a few weeks.  

Pip old chap, I hear a whisper that a bubble top is on the way Next one should be an "E" wing version.

Thanks for all the comments chaps

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!    Hawker, do you know if that'll be for CFS or FS?

[HawkerTempest5]

Pippin, I am guessing CFS3 and I think by the same chaps who did this one. I did hear F Mk21 mentioned also. Hope so

[Fitter]

I think I will install again this cfs3 too...but somebody know if this game is fully compatible with direct x9 or there is some update for it...cause I
