Topsy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Having done some research on Spitfire LF MkIXc's, with the Merlin 66, operating in June & July 1944 in Normandy, I note that the following serial number ranges were present for this model of Spitfire : MH, MJ, MK, ML, NH, PK, PL, PT, PV. However in the board number box in the load out menu we are limited to 6 characters, 3 for the squadron 2 letter code & aircraft letter and 3 digits for the serial number, with MH inserted by default as a prefix to the serial number. Example of current situation : entering LOD526 in the board number = LO°D MH526 on the skin. I wonder if ED would consider adding two characters to this field so that users could replace the default MH serial prefix ? (without having to create new skins). It would be a real plus for those squads who would like to re-enact missions of the era and who like to fly in historically accurate markings. What do the rest of you think about this ?

Nealius Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I've been able to add non-MH serials simply by typing the entirety of what I want displayed. E.g. "JXBPK123." Works just fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Thanks guys. Egg on my face ! I didn't realize that the default MH which appears when the field is empty got overwritten when you added more than three characters in the serial number. So a customer need well anticipated by ED ! I trust that my post is nevertheless of use to those who are looking for appropriate serial number ranges for the Normandy landings period.
