FSX Spitfire MK IA Prototype K5054 1

Spitfire Mk IA prototype K5054 (Eastleigh, March 1936) gets crisp, corrected replacement textures that eliminate the blurry look seen in the original repaint, keeping external views clean and period-accurate. Designed for FSX, it requires the WoP3 Spitfire base package and updates the existing TEXTURE.K5054-1 folder.

Spitfire MK IA Prototype K5054 - Eastleigh, March 1936. Texture fix for SPIT1-1.ZIP. By Grant MacLean.

Side view of Spitfire MK IA Prototype K5054 in flight.

Replacement textures to fix blurries in original TEXTURE.K5054-1 (in SPIT1-1.ZIP on this site) With apologies for original snafu.

THINGS HARD TO BELIEVE:

1) That after many previous repaints the "Include mipmapping" button could still be left ON (easy to do, but a really basic mistake).

2) That when testing and shooting a series of external views in FSX, the blurry textures could be missed (stress of too little time for a complicated project, over-tired eyes, but still ...).

3) That after hundreds of downloads only one person would email to comment on the blurries.

INSTALLATION:

Move/copy the extracted TEXTURE.K5054-1 folder to the WoP3_Spitfire folder, merging/overwriting what's there.

With thanks to Nico Jurgens for -- most politely -- pointing out the blurries.

Repaint by Grant MacLean using Martin Catney's paintkit.
