Hmmm..... slightly exaggerated, my muddy marine friend... :173go1: , too bad we can't verify that anymore, éh ?... :d

I know it's freeware and I really do appreciated that! But all the endless teasing is REALLY begining to suck!

Too bad we can't verify that neither anymore but i'd like you to try and recall that in most cases it was *you guys* overhere asking about if there was any news on our Sabre project. I just answered the question with a couple more WIP screenies. What else would you have wanted me to do ?

Learned my lesson, no more WIP shots from me. :banghead::a1451:

Btw, this thread here ain't no 'teaser' at all, just announcing that our dedicated website has gone on line... And again, like most of the time before, it wasn't me who started it... See ?.... :a1310:

So show us the money!hehe:costumes:
Click to expand...

Any more of this and i'll make it PAYWARE! Then you can show ME the money !! $95.75 to be exact. And another $45.50 for the additional skin package.

Oh! FSX version will cost ya.....mmmm..... let's see.....$147.25.

I could do that, you know.... :costumes::costumes:

Just kidding here, Mud, fully understand you guys like to fire up that J-47 yourself instead of just looking at screenies. Hey, i'd come in here myself complaining about it ! But if you want a highly detailed, top notch FS aircraft model for free you gotta wait......, and wait......, and wait......, and wait some more..... Oh, and did i tell you you'd have to wait a while too ??......

I hope you all realize how much time and effort goes into a fully detailed, photoreal inside and outside FS aircraft model featuring nothing but customs made gauges, countless XML programmed goodies, top notch flight dynamics validated by 2 RW pilots, sounds that you won't normally hear in other FS jetfighter models ( sound getting louder when you open your canopy, tire squeeks when you start yawing across the runway during take-off, typical brake sound when you brake during taxi roll just to name a few ) and so on.

Anyway, thanks for all the nice comments otherwise, gentlemen ! All your waiting will be rewarded next week !

Nah..... just teasing.... :d

Cheers,
Jan

NEXT WEEK ? NEXT WEEK ? :banghead: :banghead:

It's Sunday already, so this is already a new week.
So, does that mean something like 10 days from now?

Aaaaaaaaargh.........

Just kidding, much as we think we won't, I guess we'll survive till it's ready.
Thanks again for what looks to be an absolutely world shaking package, and all for FREE !:ernae::ernae:
 
One of the reasons I retired from these projects was that they were taking up to 11 months to do and our projects were no where near the quality of this one. I can understand the impatience :banghead: but you simply can't rush perfection. We should be grateful that Mr. Visser (and team) is willing to dedicate a tremendous part of his life to bring the community a product of this quality. :applause: Remember that realism comes only with an enormous price of development time. :kilroy:

For the 8 years that I have known of Mr. Visser, he has continually set the bar higher and has been an amazing inspiration to designers world-wide. I fear that, without world class pole vaulting abilities, the bar may be out of reach for mere mortals. Showers of accolades will be forthcoming for Mr. Visser and the team. :medals: :applause: :medals:

Thank you, Milton, that's very kind of you to say but WAAAYYY too much honour, Sir ! :isadizzy:

You know, without you, i might've still been busy figuring out how to get that nose wheel to steer properly ! :mixedsmi:

Thank YOU very much for being such a great inspiration and for all the help you have givin me !! :medals::ernae::medals:

Cheers,
Jan :wavey:
 
Don't take it the wrong way........I feel exactely like Milton does! I see you left out the part where I say " I know it's freeware and respect that". In other words.....THANK YOU!:d 15 was an exaggeration but it's not too far off the mark. My comments had nothing to do with the team but with the talking heads that throw the "S" word around too often. Truthfully, I took a deep breath awhile ago, and as always, my attitiute is she'll be done when she's done!:costumes:

I was going to do Cindee Lind myself, even though it's an H-model.. Ha ha. Drive past her nearly every morning. I've got a few pics for others and I've got a source for some unpublished pics.

Cindy Lind was Dave McAllister's (Del ANG Commander) wife. This H (53-1296) was his last airplane. Dave had several fighters that bore Cindy Lind's name.

I believe Jan is planning an H down the line. If you want to have a Cindy Lind before that, you might consider one of Dave's prior mounts. Cindy Lind the 6th was an F86A with the tail number 91117

Jan, thanks for giving us something to ponder. It's always puzzled me how we simmers can be so impatient and demanding of freeware (?) developers, especially projects like this one that, as Mr. Shupe so aptly put it,


..."For the 8 years that I have known of Mr. Visser, he has continually set the bar higher and has been an amazing inspiration to designers world-wide. I fear that, without world class pole vaulting abilities, the bar may be out of reach for mere mortals. Showers of accolades will be forthcoming for Mr. Visser and the team."


Oh, and I enjoy the updates which serve to heighten the anticipation.

THANKS, Jan and Team.

I was excited about this project, well I still am, but when I saw you guys plan on modeling the entire line, including the H, I realized my wait just became much longer. At least I'll have this F-86 to hold me over until the H is available. :jump:

Thanks for all of your hard work and the updates. Having worked on a few projects, the waiting really is the easy part. Based on all involved I'm sure it will be a spectacular release. Cheers to the Section F8 team! :ernae:

I think I remember someone saying that those vairant will be FSX only...but I may be mistaken. If so that sure would be very sad.
 
To everyone griping about the wait...SHADDDUP!!!

Javis, I was expecting this to be payware (the quality certainly warrants it), but the fact that it's to be freeware will be a nice bonus!

Waiting patiently...and a few more WIP shots are always welcome!
 
Jan, we're all just griping about the wait because we know what you're capable of producing for us, and the suspense is driving us crazy! However, rest assured we are NOT griping at you, just blowing off a little steam in eager anticipation!

Dudley, the A-model Cindee is a great idea!

I was working on this one for Kirk Olsson's airplane, but I'm not sure what the colors were.

Do me a favor. You seem to have some inside data on the old 142nd Del ANG.
If you have anything at all on Captain James R. Shotwell Jr. (images or text doesn't matter) would you be kind enough to let me know please. I'm interested in anything other people have on him that I might not have.
Many thanks
DH
