    FlyingIron Simulations Spitfire V2

    A ground-up MSFS 2024 recreation of the Spitfire, featuring multiple variants, detailed systems and a new CFD-based flight model.

    Über dieses Projekt

    The FlyingIron Simulations Spitfire V2 is a completely new recreation of the Supermarine Spitfire developed specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Rather than converting the developer's existing MSFS 2020 Spitfire, FlyingIron has rebuilt the aircraft from the ground up to make use of the newer simulator's development tools, flight model and visual capabilities.

    The package will cover several variants. These include the Mk.IX with C and E wings, elliptical and clipped wing configurations and different rudders; the Mk.VIII with retractable tailwheel and Standard Beam Approach equipment; the low-back Mk.XVI with bubble canopy and gyro gunsight; and the experimental Mk.IXc floatplane.

    Systems simulation is also being substantially expanded. FlyingIron has announced a custom Merlin engine model, detailed fuel, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems based on technical manuals, a new EFB, period Standard Beam Approach navigation, configurable aircraft loadouts and an extensive startup management system. A complete sound overhaul and new visual effects for engine flames, smoke and other effects are also planned.

    Flight dynamics are being rebuilt around MSFS 2024's CFD and updated flight-model technology. FlyingIron states that the objective is to reproduce the Spitfire's characteristic handling and engine behavior more accurately than its previous MSFS implementation.

    Spitfire: The Next Generation

    G'day Pilots!

    Today we are incredibly excited to be announcing the upcoming release of our Spitfire 'V2' module, which has been completely rebuilt from the ground up for MSFS 2024! This isn’t a small update or conversion of our 2020 Spitfire. We’ve started from scratch, taking full advantage of the amazing new developer tools and features available in MSFS 2024 to create the best Spitfire simulation we possibly can.

    The package will include multiple variants of the Spitfire, including:

    • The iconic Mk.IX - complete with elliptical and clipped wing versions of the C and E wings, as well as the broad chord and standard chord rudder.
    • The Mk.VIII - featuring a retractable tail gear, shortened ailerons, an altered cockpit layout and the unique Standard Beam Approach (SBA).
    • The Mk.XVI - equipped with the lowback/"rear-view" fuselage, pilot friendly bubble canopy and gyro gunsight.
    • The Mk.IXc floatplane - an experimental variant created for maritime operations and equipped with floats and a modified tail.

    We have gone to great lengths to capture every rivet, sound, and system with the greatest amount of detail possible. Our goal is to create the most realistic and immersive Spitfire on the market! Key features include:

    • Completely new 3D art featuring some of our finest work to date.
    • Full sound overhaul to create our most dynamic and immersive soundscape yet.
    • A full suite of Visual Effects - see the intense flames, smoke, pops and puffs of the Merlin engine.
    • A total flight model overhaul using 2024's groundbreaking CFD system and flight model updates.
    • A complete Merlin engine model, with many custom features modelled in-house including supercharger behaviour, the Auto-Mixture Control Unit and more.
    • Complete modelling of the Fuel, Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems as they are in the real aircraft; every pump, line, reservoir, and actuator has been modelled from the Spitfire's technical manuals.
    • Complete electrical system modelling, also made from the aircrafts technical manuals
    • Brand-new FlyingIron EFB app with expansive features.
    • Standard Beam Approach navigation system: practice period-accurate instrument landings using Morse-code radio beacons.
    • Comprehensive startup management and animation system, powered by an extensive in-house WASM codebase and fully integrated with sound and VFX cues.
    • Fully functional gyro gunsight and guns (weapons not available for marketplace purchases).
    • The possibility to create custom flight loadouts with options for different Slipper Tanks, payloads and cockpit layouts; all fully integrated with the flight-model.

    Stay tuned as we start to unveil some of the features in more detail over the next few weeks as we prepare for release. We hope you are as excited as we are to get this iconic bird into the skies of MSFS 2024!
