Like the original, this Seafire Mk I is a modified Spitfire Mk V with the addition of folding wings, opening canopy, tail hook, etc. More importantly it has an effective carrier launch and landing system that makes operating from correctly scaled carriers like the Ark Royal or Zuikaku practical and fun.

The aircraft has a 'built in catapult' and a fully loaded Seafire will get airborne well before the end of the deck on carriers like the Zuikaku or Ark Royal. Then on approach with the hook down and 20 knots of breeze this fully loaded Seafire will stop in less than half the length of the deck. The hook also simulates catching a 'wire' by pitching the aircraft forward (without bending the prop). With the hook retracted, the Seafire lands like a normal Spitfire and the catapult system can be disabled with the 'A' key to allow for conventional takeoffs.

In the download there is a comprehensive guide on how to place, launch and land the Seafire on the Ark Royal & Zuikaku and five training missions.

Special thanks to Tailslide for his Spifire Mk V update on which the Seafire Mk I is based and Jedi for the opening canopy and moving 'spit' stick.
