The best spit of them all...one of a kind...from the Ranwers frankenplane workshop...

The Schmittfire





The unusual hybrid aircraft that used a DB 605A-1 engine and the main airframe of a MK Vb Supermarine Spitfire. In late 1942 the MKV b aircraft crash landed in Jersey (Channel Islands ) and the aircraft was taken to a testing area within Germany. A suggestion was made that it should be fitted with a Daimler-Benz engine to more adequately gauge the performance against the BF-109. It is at this point that the Aircraft was transported to the Daimler Benz factory.

The addtion of the more powerful engine also added to the operating height of the aircraft as well as the manoueverability of the aircraft. With the strengths of the Spitfire married to the strengths of the BF109 this hybrid aircraft would have made a formidable foe. As it turns out the aircraft was destroyed along with a number of other aircraft during an American bombing raid during August 1944.

Small changes to fm because of heavier engine...and it has german guns

p.s.skinners,notice how this plane uses two different textures,one for engine and spinner and the other for everything else.Maybe we could texture a plane like in FS,every part with own texture which would allow adding more details to skin.

I made a no markings version of the skin, so it can now be used with other countries.
Unzip the file into \MODS\Schmitt\3do\plane\SpitfireMkVbCAP\summer, overwrite the other skin1o.tgb (after making a backup, naturally).

No complaints, incredible loadout. Thanks for this ultra horrible lady.



BTW. I made a replacement skin showing the original babe CJ+ZY.
Used Jesters Template for Emil and Spit Vb to make it according the files it came up with.

Sorry Pivoyvo, if you encounter probs with this Skin, I really apologize. Goal of my skin-attempt was to get that Skin looking like original, but Skinning was a bit torture or not that easy. My first attempts came with a weird Canopy-Bug. There must be sth. with the default skin in QMB, so in this final version I switched everything back (backup) and started sorting out. I left skin1 files untouched (as posted by Sani) and only changed skin2 wich applies changes to nose section. That made it, in other words only skin2o.tga, skin2q.tga, skin2p.tga and $Schmittfire.bmp are essential to get that thing looking like in my Screenshot. These files underwent editing. skin1o.tga, skin1o.tgb, skin1q.tga and skin1p.tga were left untouched. Editing them caused severe probs and strange Bugs. I'm no expert in Modding. So you should end up with the Zirkus Rosarius T9+SK Default skin in QMB, but with corrected exhausts on engine cowling and a black propeller hub. Finally you have to select my CJ+ZY bmp Skin as usual to get it looking like it should. If you want the yellow prop back, just overwrite with the original skin2 tga's that came with this Mod.

Recently uploaded the corrected files to Mission4Mate Mods/Skin section,

There they last longer than on Mediafire, I hope

In the end once I saw, Hawker Hurricane with DB.601 . Built in Yugoslavia in Zmaj. Picture: http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/f/79/77/0/8

Any chance of this lively fighter being updated so it can work in 4.101 / DBW ?

It was a great plane to use in 4.09 ... but those days are gone now ...

  My heart cries after this Masterpiece, I loved this one. It has a place right next to the G-56, a piece I love the same, not perfect, but doing a great job. I would sell some Slots from my install to the Devil for it.

very nice! The original used a Bf110 engine and cowling though, would this be hard to modify?

I tried some time ago, but failed, the engine appeared misplaced, in the middle of the spinner, also, the oil radiator must be deleted.

a version working 4.10 would be wonderful enough to start with ... maybe the first mod for 2012? ...

[badderger]

Agree, it would fit in nice with 4.11. But I keep a spare copy of HSFX 4.09 on my external hard drive to test the 49ers.And this bird is awesome! Already doing missions and thinking about a campaign.
