Shrike (Milviz) F-86 Sabre Now Available!

And bought today! :jump:

Finishing up on some stuff (chores) and then I'm off flying this thing!

Been an expensive FS week I must say...

loving this machine !!! :applause::jump::applause:

Oh, yeah, taking that rusty cockpit absolutely for granted because the rest is absolutely awesome !! (apart from the sounds, has nothing to do with the beauty of this model, i guess you can't have it all for this price) To quote Steve Miller "This thing flies like an eagle ! "

Good thing too is that the VC textures are not really as bad as in the Shrike Sabre's video's. I might even get used to them. Surely wouldn't mind a new VC texture set with a lot less wear and tear.

Thanks very much Milviz/Black Bird/Shrike for this fantastic rendition of the venerable F-86 Sabre !! Going to enjoy that in every MSFS version in the pipeline ! I'm sure !! :ernaehrung004::biggrin-new:
 
The GPS is optional. :)

Brilliant shots guys!!

Hope the repainters will take her on. I'm already missing the 32 FIS Wolfhounds paint of the original Milviz bird!

And of course MiG Mad Marine, Darling Dottie, ... The possibilities are almost endless!

I believe the sounds are a bit of a work in progress, since there was some stuff that wasn't entirely finished (due to recordings coming in late) for the initial release.
 
A stupid question from a stupid boy (if you know, you know): what is the white light where the co-pilot's seat would be?

Yes, i can imagine that the sound suite will be worked on a bit more to bring it up to the quality of the visual- and flight model which are absolutely excellent if you ask me. I just watched a Jon Beckett video flying the Shrike F-86 thru the Starwars Canyon and i might just believe it all sounds a bit better than my own experience. He talks about updates as well. Remarkably there's not really much difference between the internal and external sound during flight but that's not at full throttle. Overall it's not bad but it's not 'strikingly impressive' neither. I know full well that particularly representing jetfighter sounds inside and out in a flight simulator is a major challenge (not that developing a prop aircraft soundsuite is easy, far from it. It's just easier to recognise a great prop aircraft soundsuite. Luckily there are several :)).

Stupid questions there are non, stupid boys i've met a few, i'm sure you weren't amongst them. That thing underneath the canopy is not a white light, it could've been modeled a bit more detailed. It's the ARN-6 Antenna Loop Assembly that serves the Radio Compass.

And since we're talking details, according to the external model this aircraft has no brakes because the're simply not there.

The brakes on a real F-86 :

Obviously the flange doesn't turn with the wheel.

Oh well, we're used to a good bit of imagination. You might not be familiar with Sublogic FSII on a Commodore 64, that's where it all started. We had to imagine literally EVERYTHING but the runway, a rudimentary external aircraft model and panel. We can imagine a few brake claws, can't we.
 
It's not nice to turn a prop junkie into a nozzle head! Christ is this thing nice. Priller, it appears the PS layered textures in the Milviz FSX conversion will work just fine for a paint kit. Hopefully Jankees will do his thing.

Does this Sabre use WWise sounds (e.g. does the volume/tone etc. change when the canopy is opened/closed, among other things)?

Is the gunsight collimated?
