Great screenshot Tankerguy72. I sat in an Evergreen P2V once.

Here is the Shrike F-86F enroute to LAX. Heavy thunderstorms forecasted at my ETA. Planning an ILS approach to 25L.

I modified the ai.cfg file and at the moment I have seem to rid myself of the aileron flutter that occurs randomly. Has anyone else experienced this, and it is a document issue with some airplanes on the autopilot. I compared the ai.cfg files to get an idea what setting other developers used, for the P-38, B-24, DC-6 and the T-33 and I have been testing different combinations to rid myself of this issue.

I also added autopilot functionality by editing the system.cfg file. Nice to have that modern convenience on longer cross-county flights. I wish Shrike would update their F-86 to have a simple autopilot and a Garmin GPS 430, but that's probably like wishing for someone to give me the winning loto numbers.

"Cool" is the appropriate word. I forgot the 182 has no deicing or windshield heat. :rolleyes: The landing was . . . interesting.

BTW, great shot of the F-86. I have yet to install that one into 2024. You've inspired me to get on it.
 
As real as it gets? I had to . . . um . . . "take care of business" during a long-ish flight, but instead of hitting pause, I found a nice place for a water landing, pulled up onto the beach, shut down, got out, and hiked into the trees. Then, I got up from my PC and went to do my thing. I came back, walked back to the plane, started her up, and continued my flight. It's like I was there. Next time, I'll have to have some pine scent and a fan in the bathroom. :)

I spent some time modifying the ai.cfg, flight_model.cfg and the system.cfg files to closely match the F-86 and it flys really well in FS2024.
It will track the GPS course and couple up to the localize/glideslope on the autopilot and fly it right down to the runway. Just beautiful. I was looking for it on Flightsim.to but could not find it. I had this sitting in a MSFS download folder and thought I would give it a try in FS2024. I'm impressed.

Great picture but gawd, that fuselage shape around the radio operator's position is still making me wince. In reality, the angled join between the raised section and the circular fuselage is evident at the cockpit end, but the join blends into a curve by the time it gets to the radio op's position - it's not an angled join all the way back.
