Milviz F-86 Sabre SP1 - Released

To be 100% clear, the updated file will only be available from the place you bought it originally. Downloading it from the MV site will mean you have to buy it again...
 
Thanks to MilViz and all who helped sort out the hiccups I was having since installing the service pack. Flaps are functioning as advertised. All is well now after I followed the posted instructions.. Loving this plane! :salute::medals::applause:
 
I do have one question.......is there a simple way to disable the exaust smoke? I am getting an FPS hit with this version that I wasn't getting before. the only thing I can think of is the exaust smoke and its texture.

Nothing has changed with the "smoke" except it is now more black and somewhat more dense. That should have zero impact on frame rates.

In any case, it's a simple matter to open the aircraft.cfg, scroll towards the end of the file, and comment out the [SMOKESYSTEM] entries. :icon_lol:
 
How about a little SP1 'Flaps for Dummies'? Mine extend and retract in a mind-boggling 40 seconds - each way. I'm using the joystick button that worked so well before and tried the mouse. While that starts the up or down action, there's no movement of the cockpit lever. Spell it out for me and assume I know nothing.

The answer is a few pages back :)
 
OldernDirt, You will need to do a completely clean install. Look back at the previous threads to see just what files to delete. If you have any addon paints be sure to save you entries in your aircraft.cfg file. I had the same problem but with the clean install all works perfectly. There are several gauge files that must be replaced. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Stovall and Diego. For those, like me, who have reached the age of special care, from FSX\Gauges, delete 4 (four) MilViz F86 .dll files. From FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes, delete MilViz F86. From FSX\SimObjects\Misc, delete 3 (three) Milviz F86 Bombs/Rockets/Tanks files. Reinstall the SP1, downloaded from your vendor and. If you've already misplaced your repaints, get busy.
 
If you bought from places other than Flight1/Milviz website then you should have received a link from the store telling you there was an update. I know our SimMarket customers have been taken care of. Please let us know though if they do not have the SP1 and we can try to work things from our end to try and get them to upload the latest one for you. Good to see so far everyone is having fun with the bird after the initial hurdles have been cleared.

I tried that but it didn't work.

A couple of quick flights and it seems to me the stall speed has been lowered or at least the point where the buffet occurs. Also seems less critical to be near Vx or Vy for stability in the climb.
Much more docile in the pattern. I used to work up a sweat with it doing touch and goes like I do with the T-38.

Sorry, missed your post. As mentioned already in this thread, there has been absolutely no chance concerning the FDE in SP1. The only change is the buffet effect which starts now at a higher (correct) AoA.
In fact this makes the 86 more difficult to fly because the buffet sound doesn't serve as a pre-stall warning anymore ;)
The more docile handling illusion is simply because previously you were just on the edge of the buffeting onset during the approach which isn't the case anymore.
She departes controlled flight as before but with much less warning...
 
Flaps work but still have audio issue with SP

Okay, I had the flap problem but went through the process of making sure everything from the original was uninstalled and then reinstalled SP1 again, and now the flaps work as advertised. I am wondering though, is the fuel feeding problem fixed where it stops at about 29% and flames out? Also, I am still having the audio issue where the level goes up and down every 20-60 seconds, and it does this constantly, throughout the flight, even on the ground. None of my other planes do this, including my Milviz T-38. I have no idea why this is happening but it is very annoying and distracting. I have changed a few audio settings around trying to correct this problem but nothing has worked.

I haven't flown the F-86 since I formatted my PC. Though I thought I would stop by and say "thanks" for the update.
 
still getting ctd when exit f86 as mentioned on milviz forum, even after rebuilding fsx.cfg as instructed.

Sp is great but I have not once ever been able not to experience a CTD at the end when exiting flight with f86.

currently put to the back of hanger. a shame really. Well off to fly the b55 that i enjoy just as much.!
