Totally fictional
Totally fun
Much better if you download and install the Reno Race scenery - that includes the different circuits for the different categories of racer. Ideally you should fly the "Unlimited Class" loop, but the smallest loop is rather "fun"
To install, you must have the latest version of the payware FlyingIron Spitfire Mk IXc installed. Simply unzip the downloaded zipfile either direct into your community folder or to a "storage" folder and then move it to your community folder.
NOTE! The download zip file contains two further zips - each needs to be unzipped separately; one for clipped wings the other for standard elliptical wings
_______________________________________
Version 0.1.3
Fixed checkerboard spinner
Checked against SU 5
Clipped Wing version added
_______________________________________
OK folks, Standard and clipped wing versions are now included in this update - either version can be installed (or both) and functions independently. Use standard wings, clipped wings or both.
Sorry for the delay
Hello, since the last update the livery does not work anymore. The plane is totally transparent, we only see the pilot and the cockpit. Can you fix this? it's my favorite livery.... thank you very much

Hmmm... let me check...
OH! The clipwing version is "broken". I still see the normal US Flag livery on full elliptical wings. Let me look into it.
But basically I will not promise a fix - due to very poor health I am no longer sharing my liveries nor am I creating shareable personal liveries.

OK, I think I have it now. Sorry for the delay folks, I have been unwell. Plain and Clipped versions will be here in a few minutes.

To all...
I have fixed the clipped wing issues and will be updating my repaints for the spitfire in the coming days. I still have an issue with locating the liveries - at the moment they only show up in the standard elliptical wing library in msfs, and I have also spotted a few texture errors too.
Still some work to do, but I am still on the ball.

Really nice paint. I am however getting a pink checkerboard for the spinner on the prop when the engine is running, like a texture or something is missing? Spinner is fine with the engine off.

I am still rebuilding my PC after a major meltdown (a.k.a. SU5 and the patches...)
Once I get my sim back up to speed I'll see what I can do - in the meantime: have you updated the Spitfire to v 1.0.3 hotfix 1?

I followed the instructions, step by step, it's not working
What about here ?
[models]
exterior=..\..\flyingiron_spitfire\model\mkix_exterior_cw.xml
interior=..\..\flyingiron_spitfire\model\mkix_interior.xml
Is the interior=..\..\flyingiron_spitfire\model\mkix_interior.xml value, without interior_cw.xml ???

I was worried that may be the case - I think I will have to creat a special DL for CW versions. I'll see what I can do when I get back.

Does it work with the CW version ?
Can't see the livery, when I select the CW Spitfire
Thank you

Let me see... you'd probably have to edit the aircraft.cfg - don't go away.
Make a backup fof your community folder irst!!!!
Copy/paste MY LIVERY PACK in the community folder and rename the "new" copy Eagleskinner-Spitfire-IX-Reno-RacerCW also rename the folder in Airplanes to: flyingiron_spitfire_Reno_RacerCW Take care with the minus signs and the underscores so that a unique identity is maintained

Locate the "model.racer" folder in ...msfs\Community\Eagleskinner-Spitfire-IX-Reno-RacerCW\SimObjects\Airplanes\flyingiron_spitfire_Reno_RacerCW
Rename the model.racer folder to model.racerCW
Locate the model.cfg file and open in Notepad or whatever plain text program you use. EDIT the section models as below:

Where I have used BOLD and ITALIC type in this post, you should use plain type.
I have just written these notes from experience - there may be difficulties. MAKE SURE YOU ONLY DO THESE EDITS IN THE RENAMED COPY OF MY DOWNLOAD. Removal is simply a case of deleting that copy.
I have not done this myself yet as I am away from my sim PC for a while.
That should/might cover it. Remember to work only on the copy! Delete this if it fudges up.
