Milviz F-86

These are not renders. That's exactly how it will look in FSX

LOL! Semantics.
By my definition, when something is obviously being displayed in an external program, not actually in sim, I'll personally still consider it a rendered image, okay?
But you boys over at Milviz, you feel free to call it whatever you want. LOL.
Give you all an A+ for enthusiasm.
BTW, I really do hope now it looks exactly like that in FSX, because I love it!

Apologies for mentioning this..but re-check the spelling on a few of the stencils eg above the FU code on the rear fuselage. I'm guessing it was an Easter Egg.

 

[Naruto-kun]

we will go over all of them and make sure the spelling is correct... of course, that might take a week or two...

"OMG"! (as they say) It'll probably have a flight model that's as good as the T-38. And the VC will probably be at least as good. Yeah, I'm getting this one. Is it done yet?

the vc is pretty darn awesome, as well

 

[hairyspin]

Simply astonishing WIP, VC shots please?

Funny...no one has yet to ask for shots in FSX...HINT HINT!

WOW!

Thank you guys for the comments. They are well received by all of us at Milviz... While I will not officially comment on things such as the future (Prepar3d and the like). All that stuff is in the talking stage, but we are looking toward areas we may go in the future. For the near term though we are firmly rooted in FSX. Although I have been debating getting Prepar3d for my personal use to play with... That screen of Norfolk, VA almost has me sold....

Back to the F-86 though there will be much more to come on that. Still heavily involved in coding. I myself am flying another revision (hopefully the last) of the B-55. So that is pretty much short term stuff you guys can expect from us. Jon may be kind and show you guys some screens in FSX. If not I will when I get my hands on it I promise. Happy Memorial Day from us also in case I do not get a chance to say so else wise. Especially to those that have served in the years past, and most importantly to those that have given their lives so we can enjoy the life that we have today. :USA-flag:

I meant screenshots, not the original bird! Kudos to Dmitriy, that's some of the very best modelling and texturing I've ever seen.

And I'll bite, FSX screenshots please!

It appears to be quilted. Those rivets should be flush and not nearly so noticeable. This is THE F86, unfortunately not yet for FSX.View attachment 66173

We are going back over the bump maps and reducing the boldness of the rivets if you will.. As you say jets are built with counter sunk rivets, and as such should not appear like it is built using button heads like the bumps would believe. Excellent painting though of an F-86 going vertical. Got to love doing that in fighter jets.

Rivits or no rivits, I'm giddy over the fact a native F-86 in on the way! Make it soon!!!!

 

[ViperVFX]

Guys thanks for comments...about rivets dont worry...I all will be fix...so it is not problem

I try once more, will there be a model with the -40 long slatted wing as used by the JASDF and retrofitted to many others like for instance the RNoAF?
Many countries also modified theirs (Luftwaffe/RNoAF) with Martin Baker Mk.5 seats but this involved modifying the canopy rail so that it slopes upwards when the canopy rolls past and clears the seat top. Can this be done ?

PS: Vc looks superb but the torn arm rests are a bit over the top, don't you think...... ?

I would agree with that. And Oldendirt's observation about quilting too. Is there a danger of going too far and making a front-line fighter in service with a major air force look like an abandoned derelict awaiting restoration ? 'More' is not always better.

I completely agree with that:salute:

I think you guys would be surprised at how some war time aircraft look. Especially in these current budgetary times. Pilot/aircrew comfort items are the last thing on the list of important parts to order. Granted I think before that arm rest got that bad someone would have taken it to the paraloft shop and had a piece of leather sewn over the initial tear, but that is besides the point.
