Spitfire elevator control model incorrect

Recommended Posts

Dear ED,

I am taking great joy out of flying the Spitfire in VR. So much so that I have been designing a physical cockpit for kit distribution:

 

(Heritage Flight Simulation)

 

While closely studying the cockpit layout in VR last night, I noticed that your control column elevator action was not pivoting from the bottom of the column, but was swiveled at a point just below the seat.

 

You may wish to have a look at that and correct the model. I have attached the relevant original drawing for reference, but you can also check with your colleagues at the Fighter Collection.

 

There is also a picture of the control column and rudder pedals layout as it should look.

 

The swivel point for the column is at the bottom, the elevator control rod sits just below the seat.

 

Thank you for a great simulation, I was one of your first customers and hope to be still enjoying your products in another 25 years!

Sith, It was noticed already in early days of the module...

... but we won't mind if you bump it up. I could've sworn it was fixed at some point, but the problem might be back it seems.

Yes, but if you read that whole thread it was fixed and now seems to have come back.
