• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

SectionF8 F-86F textures "The Huff" in high detail for 'rivet counters' only!!!!

These are newly revised primary textures with extra detail to be used with the original released edition of the FS2004 ?SECTIONF8? North American F-86E/F Saber (sf86ef.zip). Every feature of the exterior fuselage, including the front windscreen, sliding canopy section, machine gun ports, vertical stabilizer, tail section, etc., etc. has been reworked. Textures are in DXT3 format to preserve frame rates.

In addition to the revamped primary textures this set also features the personal markings for F-86F-1-NA, 51-2897 "The Huff" in h-i-g-h detail as flown by Lt. James L. Thompson, USAF; 39th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing circa 16 June 1953. The nose art on the port side of the fuselage features a large dragon which made it one of the wildest and most garish paint schemes ever seen on an F-86 Sabre. Along with the dragon and two kill markings on the left side, the starboard side has artwork reading ?Bill?s Baby? and ?Miss Jenny? with six kill markings.

Lieutenant Thompson's "The Huff" dragon motif was inspired by a similar dragon painted on the side of the first MiG-15 that he shot down on May 18, 1953. He shot down a second MiG-15 on 16 June 1953. After the war the airplane was delivered to Taiwan.

Thanks to Jan Visser for support and the motivation to produce this special set of textures for members of Sim-Outhouse.
