section 8 Sabre help..

[skyblazer3]

It's published at 185, but really you have until 200 knots before you loose hydroloics. They can be reset by slowing below 200 knots, and right clicking the vertical toggle switch behind the throttle.

I think there is also a speed at which the flaps will jam -- but I pull those up at the same time I get the gear.

Cheers

What was your airspeed? If you get above 185 knots IAS before they are up they will jam. You will top that very quickly on a full throttle takeoff.

Thanks Bleddyn and Aircanuks, you're correct.:salute::salute:
Problem solved: my fault

Is there by any chance, a layered paint kit for this lovely creature? I have the old photoreal one but the awesome camo skins here were clearly not done with that.

Regards and thanks to all

Well ... as far as I can see, Jan has cheated a little with his RAF paint in post #40 (for he has made use of the not-ready-yet camo paint kit), but my Luftwaffe JC+106 and RCAF "Bluenose" 707 actually were done on the photoreal blank metal templates.
Some of my early works...

Cheers,
Markus.

Clearly you're much better at painting than I am Markus - great job!!

Good day to all you good fellas who made this fantastic F-86 Sabre, and it's the most fun freeware aircraft I have ever flown.
Also all the tips have been helpful in getting it to work in FSX for me. Thanks to everyone.:salute:
I would like to maybe do a repaint of the G-SABR that I saw at an airshow a few years ago, the oldest still-flying F-86 (I believe)

 

[skyblazer3]

Is that the one at Duxford? If so, I believe it is the only A model flying, and not only the oldest F-86 flying, but the oldest original jet aircraft flying today.

I agree.. I fly the Section F8 Sabre about 2 hours per week as part of a virtual aerobatic team... it is one of the most amazing and detailed aircraft ever made for a simulator.... such a treat to have this bird. I can't believe it is freeware, but I'm glad it is so that many can enjoy it.

Night gauge lighting

I went over all 75 points of the panel notes ... can't seem to find any reference to cockpit lighting. Anyone know?

thanks,

DL

There is an Extension Light on the right hand side of the cockpit and a console flood light. (Section 1-7: F86 FOM)

If this is what you were referring at

Cheers

Where's that Navy Fury repaint?

 

[delta_lima]

I can move the extension light - but there is no light being emittted.

Regarding the console light - that's what I'm after - can't find the reference anywhere. I have looked in the instrument guide here: http://www.sectionf8.com/instrument_panel_ref.html

the Pilot Flight Operating Instructions and Pilot Checklist here: http://www.sectionf8.com/download.html

I don't see a section 1.7 ....

Apologize for my thickness ...

ps - yes, am wondering about that "Fury" also ....

 

[Javis]

The cockpit light switch is a bit hidden indeed, dl.... One of the many tricks a semi '3D image' plays on us while viewing it on a 2D monitor screen....

There is however no excuse for you not finding the reference to it on the '2D' Instrument Panel Ref. html....

Once you're there, click the 'Special Clickspots and Mouseover Areas' section at the top. You'll then find it on 'Instrument Panel (VC)', section 5.

Lower your eyepoint a bit ( Shift/Return ) and look at the right side cockpit wall, just underneath the canopy defog tubes.

cheers,
jan

Switch found (and as far as I can tell in right position) - nothing happens .... see screen shots.

Incidentally, only the left-most switch works of the three. Also of note, if I select cockpit 2D panel view mode, the panel can illuminate (in fact, stays on lit regardless of light switch settings). Double checked all contents of panel - contains the sf86fsx_fixup gauges etc.

thanks,

Mike Puckett has a number of Fury paints for the S8 F-86, just put his name in the search engine over at http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH

I'm guessing his question, like mine earlier about that Fury, relates to the fact that Puckett didn't do any Fury schemes in dark blue. That's why he's asking.
