Aeroplane Heaven has issued a service update for their Spitfire Mk1A. The update aims to fix a number of issues that users have been experiencing with the plane since its release just under two weeks ago. The update, that goes by the name ‘Service Update 1.4‘, contains changes to the plane model, flight model and textures. Some of the more notable issues that have been fixed are the ground handling and the tailwheel behaviour, as well as the Fuel Pressure cock. Also fixed are the engine and oil coolant temperature gauges and the alternator switch. A full changelog of the update can be found at the end of this post.
Additionally, the update includes a new livery. You can now fly the plane around in a plane aluminium livery to show off all the beautiful lines of the airplane.
