Milviz F-86F-30 Sabre - Released

I will be painting this one as soon as I get back home and can purchase the plane. Andy Nott was nice enough to make it for me for the Alphasim Sabre years ago, but I know a lot more about photoshop now. Will be nice to have her back in the sim again.

My FPS hit is gone :)
I switched from the internal FPS limitation (I have never been so lucky with the other FPS-limitation modules) to the "1/2 refresh rate" technique with the NVidia drivers. Now both the Baron and the Sabre fly smoooooooooooooth !!! :ernae: I haven't tested the F-15 yet.
The GPS unit of the Baron still hits the FPS a bit when I turn it on, but it's fine like that, the FPS go back up after a few seconds.

Damn....your sim looks waaay better than mine. FWIW though on FSX tweaks....The frame limiter in Nvidia Inspector or Nvidia drivers is the best i have seen so far. To further reduce the load on the sim, instead of running at unlimited i set it to 40-60 fps and limit it to 30 with Nvidia. Works like a charm.
 
Really ? Then I will give that a try too. Thanks for the advise :)
Concerning the quality of my shots, it's mainly due to two parameters:
- the Antialiasing is disabled in the sim (DX9), and forced in NVidia Inspector to 8xS
- I'm using the ENB bloom package available from the REX forums, the one nammed SUNLIGHT. The picture are always a bit too dark, though, but the overall colors are quite nice.
 
For those on the fence that have considered this one, have a look at these shots the team has on Facebook. The damn thing is so realistic, it's like your there.

*Note: Look on the bottom, "view larger", then right click, select "view image", then left click for full resolution.**

Simply, and utterly amazing levels of detail.
I am SO going to fall off the fence.

In fact, I just did.:ernae:

To the developing team, I would still like to have a "Factory Fresh" scheme as a base layer on the paint templates.

It is a work of art eh. I may have to pick this one up. Just watched the promo video for it on thier FB page...thank you for adding in the sounds of the aircraft in the video. So disapointing to see all these nice videos out for aircraft but they always leave out the sound of it. A shame really.

Glad to see this one has some audio in it from in game.
 
.... having a senior moment here gang !!

purchased the F86 .... very nice indeed, install went well but I'm encountering some issues with the startup process.

Start up is via the manual,but it wants to cycle on its own during the ignition process and not ignite ?

Could someone pls tell me how you register on the Milviz Forum ...... not my day !!


Thank you inadvance
 
Bought, downloaded and flown in FsX/A and Dx10. After at first having the missing canopy issue I found that after my next flight it was there in all it's glory. Funny how Dx10 seems to learn that some texture it doesn't like at first, will reappear in a subsequent load.
Got to get to the bottom of the manual (and print off some pages) before going any distance!
Great job guys...oh and I like the sound pack too.

Some of the screen shots in this thread are hard to distinguish from real photos. The glass reflections from outside the ship have a lot to do with it, I think. I may have to get this one after all...

Must be one of the very few who hasn't successfully downloaded this. First my 'G-Data' protection, with all functions OFF, would not let it slide through. Uninstalled that and installed a free 'Avast'. Shut that down but it too said infected file. What now?
 
....quick note,

Don't know if this was the main issue causing my engine start problem but I did have the Section 8 Sabre loaded as an addon including the Milviz Sabre file...... ???

Have deleted the Section 8 Sabre and my start up problem has disappeared.



Cheers for now

Ignore the "false warning." This is a very well-known and widely discussed issue with ALL protection programs for which none of them seem the least bit inclined to fix!
 
Downloaded and installed without any problems. Only had time for one very quick flight, but it looks, sounds and flies superbly.

Well done to all involved, the bar has just been raised again.:applause:
 
Lighting problem

Can't get logged into MilViz forum, so I'll ask here. I can't get the landing lights or NAV lighting to operate. I get panel lights fine. I have read the manual and set the switches as indicated. I know I am missing something, but be damned of I can figure it out. Help??

Hi John ... to access the MilViz forums, all you'll need to do is send an email request to roadburner440 at milviz dot com. Those folks are extremely responsive and I'm sure you'll get the answer you need quickly.

EDIT: Rats ... I told you they're responsive ... Roadburner440 responded before I could type my reply ...
 
roadburner440 responded faster than a speeding bullet, or F-86.....
Okay, I'm old and had two senior moments. Used the wrong login for the forum and missed one little itty bitty instruction in the "quick start" procedures. I didn't turn the battery on after hitting the starter position as clearly indicated in the manual. Am I too old to "fly" this thing?
Anyway, I really love this plane. I flew my old AlphaSim F-86F for a long time and it was good...but a very primitive looking VC. MilViz has done a fantastic job.
 
It is no problem. By chance do you have access to the F-86 support forum already? Good to see that you got your other issues sorted though. Always a few bumps when flying new planes, but once you get the hang it is smooth sailing (or flying) from there on out.
