That cockpit is terrific, and I hate to be a pain in the butt...however...that is a pre-war Spit cockpit. At the beginning of the war, the RAF began to replace those old ring and bead sights with reflector gunsights. Every photo I have of an RAF pilot sitting in either a Hurri or a Spit, shows a reflector gunsight in front of him.

The Spit cockpit does have the reflector sight in the screens without the photo.

S!
Do they have all the screens that were posted here at SimHQ and have now been removed? No one seems to have downloaded the full set.

i think the interesting thing here is not just the detail...but the view angle.

obviously head vector is not only supported but it looks like some of these may be viewed from outside the pit, as if one were standing on the wing root.

That's in 3DS Max... You could do that with any 3d game ever made. It's not in game, it's in the modeling program. You could zoom a mile away if you wanted.
