A Beautiful Flight Through Snowdonia | Spitfire MK I - Full Flight | Microsoft Flight Simulator 

Love your videos, the way you present them is so relaxing and entertaining. Thanks for the heads up on the update too, I can't believe they missed the door close/lock sound again!

Good morning from Seattle! Great video as always! My take: I really want to love Aeroplane Heaven's products. Visually, they are gorgeous inside and outside, and you can feel the love that goes in to making the virtual machine. As a WW2-era piston engine aficionado, it is pretty cool they always offer engine cowl removal to view the magic that makes the music. The flight model for the Spit Mk1 has definitely improved as well and does not have the dreadful early MSFS taildragger handling quirks. I do always feel though that something is missing in the immersion experience for AH aircraft. For example, on the Mk1 Spit, there is no engine cutout when pulling negative G. This is a small detail but important to the Mk1 Spit (which is my favorite Spit Mk being a lifelong student of the Battle of Britain) as it required tactics to overcome the shortfall until later solved. A2A got this detail right in their still-excellent and now 12-year old Spit Mk1. I also think that the sound set in the AH offerings are never quite complete. Missing the door, primer, and canopy sounds just take away points from what shows on the surface to be a phenomenal offering. I agree that the new soundest definitely gives the Spit a more authentic feel and is a nice improvement. I know for my UK friends the Spitfire is a national symbol of the nation's resolve and steadfast resistance to the Nazis during the dark early days of WW2 and the AH Spit Mk1 could be a truly outstanding product to reflect this pride. Until then, the Flying Iron Mk9 Spit offers a better fully-finished and polished product. The good news is that the FI Spit has done so through numerous updates. Now, the AH P-51 will hopefully get a flight model update (very needed as it is extremely uprated in performance) and the sounds on the P-51 really need help. I know I have written a book here but thanks all for letting me get on my soapbox... I really like AH offerings for aircraft that are dear to me and hopefully they can iron out the minor things and become an outstanding provider of vintage virtual aircraft. Cheers and thanks again for all your hard work making your videos. They are a really good tool for me to decide which A/C to buy in MSFS :-)

Your videos are absolutely superb - each and every one. Thank you so much!

6:35 To take such a beauty as the Spitfire and place it anywhere on earth to fly is such a wondrous thing.

A nice video again as usual. Cannot help but notice the sound of your voice from 27:27 onwards (and just before entering the cockpit) is of a very different and much improved quality. Not sure of that was just a test or something but that does sound very good.

Great views from the cockpit😁👍

Splendid Video Thank You

Thank you Sir for the info👍 Take care

Excellent review as always. I'm glad AH have given the Spitfire some more attention. I can't understand why some people are so ani-them, I think they do a great job, and the aircraft a quite affordable. I wish Asobo would model post-takeoff wheel spin, it makes me smile each time you say "touch the brakes", when the wheels are stationary, and have been since the second the aircraft left the ground!

I have over 100 planes downloaded/bought.... Spitfire always seems to grab my attention when I turn on the Sim. I love everything about it!

The first sim pilot that tips the breaks after takeoff! Excellent airmanship!

Excellent choice of location to showcase aircraft. 😊

I love the way the Mk1 flies, and now it has decent sounds 👌. Hoping they update the F3F. Those inter-war radials sound glorious irl.

I love the start up sound of that Merlin engine, it’s my dream to fly in a spitfire one day, just need to find a place that’ll help me do it

Nice video. Your enthusiasm shines through. Thank you for this. I am toying with the idea of purchasing MSFS 2024 and a really good PC set up. Just trying to get some idea of what I might be letting myself in for if I part with so much cash.

Just a minor nit pick related to the flight modelling, but I thought the take-off dynamics looked a bit suspect when viewed initially from within, but then confirmed via the external view. In the real world, the tail wheel would lift first as the increasing airflow over the flying surfaces gets going, and as the fuselage both naturally aligns with the airflow and as the pilot adds a little forward stick and rudder to counter the usual tail dragger issues. Then, once established in a more level and streamlined attitude, the main wheels would only later lift off, once flying speed had been reached. I think it's unrealistic, from a modelling perspective, that flying speed would be reached from such a tail down and nose up attitude, so that issue may need some more sim design work. Sadly, I have never flown a Spitfire, but I have flown tail draggers.

Comment for algorithm. Great stuff as always.

I hope Aeroplane Heaven gets around to making the FW 190 soon. Love the Spit……👍🇦🇺

When you reached the town and the castle, I realized I have actually flown there in the sim. In the Kodiak I believe. Landed at the same airfield too. I love the spitfire, but can’t see myself buying another in addition to the flyingiron mk ix.

Another nice flight and video. North Wales is a great place to fly around, I often find myself up there. Nice to see AH improving their Spit but I'm gonna stick to my Mk IX as it still seems to be the superior product. I'm completely with you when it comes to more audio feedback especially with afterburners as you said. There's some sims/planes where you get hardly any noticeable feedback at all when you kick in the 'burners and I'd find myself accidentally straying into the AB zone without noticing. Some of the best airframe sounds I've experienced is probably Heatblur's F-14 in DCS, love the way that cockpit rattles and shakes and groans when you're manoeuvring. I've noticed that your voice is changing at the start and end of some of your past vids. Guessing you got a new mic and recorded the intros and outros on that. You almost sound like a differnet person lol. Anyway great vid as always, cheers.

Nice video, I would have liked an outside whit music kind of stuff. All the same nice one, thank you.

I have so enjoyed watching your videos since I discovered your channel earlier today. I've been flying in XPlane11 for the past 2 years although I have been so impressed the MSFS2020. As for the scenery in this video is this what it looks like out of the box or did you have to purchase this scenery separately? Many thanks once again.

I actually prefer this to the Flying Iron Spitfire. Very enjoyable to fly. I also like the 3d filler cap - not painted on like Flying Iron. Maybe I'm pedantic but it's literally right in front of you when flying. Loved seeing the Mk1 put through its paces in one of my favourite areas irl.

I'm hoping to get this and the p51 for my bday and I'm super excited for it!! 💕

Great vid! I agree, the sounds were better but not a complete overhaul (as you mentioned). A separate point - visuals look great - do you use High settings or tailor them slightly?

Excellent showcase for the update. Loved the cinematography !. The lighting and clouds that really reflects a typical U.K. airstrip. Never guaranteed blue skies or sunshine !. To date I cannot make up my mind, FlyingIron or Aeroplane Heaven ?. Any thoughts ?. I always appreciate your very detailed reviews. Your honesty and integrity comes through in all your videos. A good balance of positives and negatives. Many thanks.

I enjoy this Mk 1 as well as the FlyingIron MkIX, possibly because the Mk 1 was the type used in the Battle of Britain. A bit of history I suppose. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts on the update, progress but as you say maybe a little more needed.

long time lover of the channel but im curious as to what software you use to change your voice?

Beauty of a video, plane and area. Seem to have your compass set wrong though, Caernarfon NW of Snowdonia not SW, and the castle W of the town not S. I’ll take a look at the plane although I have the FI MK IX and love that but a MK I might be a nice addition.

Wow imagine this on DCS. I hoped Aeroplane Heaven develop the BF 109 but the Spitfire will do anyway. Nice and impressive video you've done.

Hello there, which of the two models do you think is better: the Aeroplane Heaven Spirfire mk I or the Flyingiron Spirfire mk IX? Thanks.

I know X-Plane 12 will probably have the edge in terms of pure flight modeling and whatnot, but I'm sorry, this kind of eye candy goes a LONG way to helping me as a non-pilot look past it. No shame in admitting I'm the casual MSFS was aiming at I suppose, as long as they keep working at it and improving it. I'll never get to see 99% of these places IRL, after all, so this is a good way to get close.

Virtual cockpit is nice, however flying iron have set the bar. P38 and Mk9 spit are superior inmho.

I found the sound update removed all of the already limited bass to the engine sound, not sure if that's how it should be or if something was wrong with my uodate.

Wheels not spinning at 24:32. Bug? Or was the right wheel not on the runway at that moment?

I lost it when you screamed out "clear prop" LOL I just pictured your wife freaking out in the living room haha

Hello, Amazing video, what about your video settings? Thanks

I can't tell you how much pleasure I get from flying the Spit around the British countryside. I will say this one seems to have a faster roll rate than the Flying Iron version (including the clipped-wing). That said, I think I still prefer the Flying Iron. Do you have a favourite between the two?

I have her too and ok little improvements but not to make it flyable. No sound opening side door and canopy is already a no go not even wanting to start the engine and I did also for testing purposes but still no base or real rumble spitting flames so terrible. Only Flying Iron make the spit awesome. I have all ah planes and they all suffer same bad engines noises that are not loud enough and lack base. Great video .

I wonder which one is better to purchase? Aeroplane's spitfire or flying iron's spitfire

I hoped to enjoy AH products, but after getting burned hard with the Electra, i guess i won't be giving another chance at their products.

As a side note This is something some of you may be interested in a series by the RAF. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aPetW8IKfVk.html 'Johnnie' Johnson a quintessential British fighter pilot of WW11. Made as part of a series at the RAF collage around the 1970-1990

Where did the sound set come from?

i haven't any e-mail about update. is it marketplace update? i get last update around month ago 24 june. just does check

How do you change your voice to sound like you're a pilot? :D

Watching this makes me hope that A2A bring their Spitfire to MSFS as their sound set is vastly superior to this poor offering from AH.

N wales, not mining, quarrying. To be a pedant 😂

when you say merlin engine i keep thinking about the merlin rocket engine

Idling sounds fantastic, but takeoff and cruise still sound like it was recorded 2 km away with a 20 year old microphone. And interior engine sound is still way-off. Disappointing :/

Awesome vid ;). What sort of douche b signs off on getting two massive wind turbines installed on or around an active airfield? This is why humanity is doomed.
