Thanks Dreamk, I´ve been learning something new everyday here.

This link summarize what you said: http://modelingmadness.com/reviews/preww2/gb/bakerfury.htm

Great plane!
Is cockpit historically correct, or taken from Spitfire?

I didn't work on the cockpits, only the template and skins. However from what i gather, all cockpits are temporary cockpits, not meant to be definitive nor accurate. I think DreamK's point of view was that it is better to have a flyable aircraft with a placeholder cockpit at first, and then to later wait/hope for a definitive cockpit that is more accurate.

This would be the same thinking as was implemented when all the old ai planes from 4.07/4.08 were made flyable in some of the first mods. Those planes too often used borrowed cockpits from planes that were not too dissimilar ...

And I am quite certain that if anyone who has more experience making cockpits wants to try his hand, DreamK will be tickled pink and grateful.

Rock, please don't give up, maybe we can have both british and spanish versions the more, the merrier!

Dreamk, please.. i have a life, or maybe i HAD a real life outside, before this easter.. i do not have enough words to thank you, simply..

S!

Cockpit is a modified Spit1 cockpit - bitmaps coloration modified, new windshield, new gunsight, editing of 2 bitmap gauges to suppress the retracting landing gear - not an extensive historical cockpit but the kind of things I can do routinely - and yes, all help from cockpit modders would be a blessing!

DreamK,

Haven't even loaded it yet...[pant...]

Unbeleivable work.  Good Show.

Good Show, Cheers

What? The Fury?  ??? ??? ???
You've superated yourself this time DreamK, I didn't see this one coming, I was expecting another Frenchie. You didn't even pronounce a word when the Brit version was requested. 
BTW, Rock, don't give it up, as Dreamk says: two pretty different planes (many more differences than between any pair of the gazillion  bf-109 versions...just jocking)
Then, what can we do now but loose more valuable sleep hours? but WT...k
As Hidalgo de Cisneros would say: ¡Que salga el caza!

Well after we finished with the French fighters, we needed to deal with the remaining ones, isn't it. Two more planes are still to come - including, tomorrow, my personnally most preferred one!

I've come across a few images of Hawker Fury's with different cowlings:







are these essentially the same as the Fury without cowling, the streamlined looking version?

[juanmalapuente]

Fury is beautiful with radial engine too, but I prefer her Spanish pointy nose and skinny legs. 
BTW, I just tried her and 
No wonders why they lasted so long in service and survived so many fights. A real pleasure. And talking about pleasures:

No-o-o-o-o  ??? Is the first letter a C? OK better don't tell me.

A C? All I can think of in a SCW situation is a Caudron of one type or another ... and those would be so unexpectedly obscure ...
