Question about the Milviz F-86 Sabre

Hello,

I purchased the Milviz F-86 Sabre, and although it looks very nice indeed, I cannot get it to start or fly.

Is anyone aware of alterations that can be made to the panel.cfg file so that I can just get into the bird and fly it?

I tried the quick start mentioned in the manual, but for some reason that doesn't work.

I would appreciate some help here, because now the purchase amounts to a waste of money. I just don't have the time to figure it out.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Dumonceau,
OK I am just loading my F-86 take some shots and will post up hoping this will help. Give me a couple of mins.

Since it uses the Flight1 wrapper I assume their 30-day refund policy will also work for this aircraft.

It's really not that hard to start, just follow the instructions on page 5 of the manual ("Just tell me how to start it."), the only tricky is the timing to click the throttle. Wait about 3 seconds to click it after clicking the battery switch.
 
I'm really frustrated about this. Why can't they include the ctrl+e functrionality in every model?

Not all of us are real life pilots and some of us just indulge in this hobby to blow off steam and relax...

And I'm way past the 30 day refund period...
 
You can't start her up since more than 30 days ? Now that's what I call endurance ;)
Starting the Milviz F-86 is as complicated as pressing ctrl+e !
 
4 or 5 clicks and your bird is ready... refer to the manual and you don't have to wait so long, it's more easy than you think!

Endurance? Hardly! A lack of time and a busy life are more like it. I just have a life, a busy one. But obviously Milviz couldn't care less about people who have a life...

is there really no one who can tell me what to comment out in the panel.cfg to make this bird just go after ctrl+e?
 
Checklist

1. Throttle out of cutoff and into "Idle"
2. "Shift-2" to bring up ground options - Select "Ground Power" and "Chocks"
3. Engine Master Switch - "On"
4. Battery - Starter Switch (just below Engine Master Switch) to "Starter"
5. Watch RPM gauge, when RPM stabilizes, hit "Starter Stop Button"
6. "Shift-2" to bring up ground options - DE-select "Ground Power" and "Chocks"

Ready to Taxi....

I will arrange for reimbursement for you should you wish, just show me your purchase info. Unless, of course, you don't have the time....

As to helping further, not until I see your purchase info. This is, after all, a support issue.

I'll mail it to you. I'm not about to plaster my personal details on a public forum.

For what it is worth, I don't want the money back, I just want to fly the bird.
 
I note that Milviz accurately describe the principal features of this aircraft on its website.

One of the advertised features is realistic start-up and shutdowns.

Milviz also provides the opportunity for a potential purchaser to download the manual, without any purchase commitment.On my reading, the manual leaves no doubt as to the start up procedure required.

The reviews of the product, which I have been able to locate, also record and refer to the start up procedure.

I would like to congratulate Milviz on its transparency and honesty in the marketing of its products.

best
