FYI, just thought I'd let everyone know.  Been flying this bird around for awhile and I'm loving it even more.  The bird was nice before but now it's even better.  The preview release based on the videos was a little flat to me in appearance, then the release came and it was better and really felt like the first incarnation of the Spitfire, now it's polished and amazing as any high end bird we have in our hanger.  Here's the fixed present although it feels like much more was done:

 

Exterior Model

True castoring tailwheel added with new ground-handling code.

Revised livery textures for more authenticity

Interior Model

Improved textures and extra detail in some areas.

Revised coding for Alternator Switch

Engine Oil and Coolant temperature gauges re-coded to give more accurate function.

10,000 ft. needle added to Altimeter

Gyro compass and knob improved for better function

Pedal action reversed

KiGass primer re-animated ( start position IN).

Fuel Pressure cock and primer sequence re-coded.

Light leak on panel shroud eliminated.

Gear indicator lights switch now functional on throttle quadrant.

Flight Model

Improved engine performance envelope

Adjustments made to ground handling to counter SU5 and WU6 changes in sim.

Sound

"gap" in engine startup sequence removed.

Also, we have included a further livery. This one is in plain aluminium to show off the lines of this beautiful aeroplane. The legend printed on the side of the fuselage needs no explanation.

Cool will have to download the update when I get home.

I wonder if they fixed that oddity where it spawns on the runway with the engine ticking over but the mags, fuel etc cold and dark ?

I really like this aircraft. It is hard to pin down but it just "feels right", it behaves like a real aircraft should.. 

 

Looking forward to trying SU6 with 

Patch 1.5....coming

Looks so good.💗

The Spit at Duckie is a glorious combination!

Patch to 1.5.0 is released

Looks great, and seems to fly well. Lots of fine detail in the textures, and evidently a good level of system functionality. The only negative I noticed was that when the engine started the cockpit and instrument panel did not move.  Or at least very little. With this huge piston engine and prop turning, in real life the cockpit instrument panel would not just sit there as if dead. For better immersion, it would be helpful if aircraft developers started developing techniques to animate these vibrations. Like A2A's Accusim perhaps?

No update from Orbx..
