Wish we had an F-8...

Wish someone would do an F-8E/J and RF-8A/G for MSFS and MSFS 2020. RFN's F-8 was gorgeous...but for FSX/P3D...Need the MigMaster back in game!
 
I have the F-8E by Roland Laborie.
It's not on par with modern standard 3D quality but the cockpit is not bad at all.
Flight-model wise, once you set the CG at the maximum back position, it flies nicely. It's completely unflyable if you let the CG at the default position in the load manager though.
 
I've got the F-8E by Laborie as well. I managed to wrestle it around the pattern (barely). I agree that the cockpit is decent, but there is no paintkit. Can you please share how to move the CG to full (Looks like it's in the flight model .cfg file...). It appears that the default for CG aft limit is 0.3. Going to try 0.5 and see what happens.

Thanks,

Kent

I just move it backwards (drag and drop by mouse) on the default MSFS load manager screen, where you set the fuel and other payloads.
