Auto Credit Based on GhostHTX's Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXb

The Supermarine Spitfire is a british all-weather, land-based medium fighter. Amongst it's variants, there is the Griffon-powered Mk. XIV. In War Thunder, this aircraft is either the Mk. XIVe, a Rank IV with a BR of 5.0, 5.3 or 5.7 (AB/SB/RB) or the Mk. XIVc, a Rank IV Premium with a BR of 5.0, 5.3 or 5.7 (AB/SB/RB). I depicted the premium Mk. XIVc.


Armament

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XIVc was armed with 2 .303 M2 Browning machine guns and 2 Hispano Mk. II 20mm autocannons.


Things I added or modified from GhostHTX's plane
New Griffon piston head covers
More realistic top speed, acceleration and maneuverability
Locking rear steering
Kind-of working gunsight
New flap system
New canopy
New prop and prop hub
Cockpit zoom
Realistic armament, including tracer colors and bullets scaled accordingly to what's historically accurate


Controls
Activate 1 and use the VTOL slider to control the flaps
Activate 2 and use Yaw to steer on the ground
Activate 3 to use the cockpit zoom


Have fun!

    @StukaCover Ok. It's solved and published. Your prop problems were caused by a turbocompressor (that, sadly, doesn't affect final airspeed), so I removed it.

    Very good Spitfire! I like how you included the camera zoom.
    Now…
    …make one that works for low physics (the prop constantly breaks).
    This device performs horribly at medium and high physics.
