FlyingIron has recently updated their rendition of WWIII fighter aircraft Spitfire for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The information about the update has been shared through their website.
Update 1.0.3 focuses on updating the Spitfire to be compatible with the recent Sim Update 5 of Microsoft Flight Simulator, which includes Xbox integration and a new interaction system, as well as a performance boost.
The aircraft itself got some particle FX and a few other things, like Garmin G430 GPS in the cockpit, integrated engine block vibrations, refined and improved oxygen system realism or numerous flight model and ground handling improvements. The developer has also added a feature of turning off or on the engine damage via Radio Preset Button D, therefore the engine damage is now optional.
