Section 8's Sabre

I do love this model, but I've never had any luck with getting the speed brake to work in FSX.

I had the same problem. you need to have the first patch/fix installed, and then I PM'd "Hansi" over at the SF8 forums and was sent a a replacement file promptly. I'm sure you can get the same assistance. I will look and see if I can find the email again....however you'll probably get the thing working faster if you you ask him!

Thanks. I did the update, but didn't PM anyone.
 
Below is the Panel.cfg that should have shipped with the SP1, which didn't make it into the download I got aparantly...This is the fix that Hansi sent me way back when. ***USE AT YOUR OWN RISK***BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FIRST***

Should be fine, but just a standard precautionary statement... :)

I guess there is a faulty gauge controller called out in the old panel.cfg file. So you can try this out.

Thanks, guys, i'll do my best to hand it over to Santa who could then rap it up in Xmas paper and place it underneath the Xmas tree with jingle bells and all.

I wish i could ! ( i work at night now too, using up all 24 hours in a day.. )


or else you're using the infinite poly hack for fs2004, right?

Don't even know what it stands for ....? :rolleyes:

Jan, your work in the VC is astonishing! Excellence through and through. :) Thank you for raising the standards continuously over the years, and for the many great flight sim gifts from incalculable hours of investment. No one should have this much fun! :applause: :medals:

Should be fine, but just a standard precautionary statement... :)

I guess there is a faulty gauge controller called out in the old panel.cfg file. So you can try this out.

OK, I tried the alternate panel cfg, and that did the trick. The upside is that I really honed my formation skills, since an inop speed brake really makes you pay attention to thrust and energy management.

Thanks again.

Jan this is one of the very best of the vintage jets ever produced for fs9 and one of the greatest FSX port-overs! Thank you so much for all great work! The price is hard to beat too! You and your development team set the bar for this vintage jet! I had the pleasure of being one of the beta testers and I can't remember when I had so much fun with my clothes on. Your team of developers are just the CAT's MEOW Amigo!!!
Ted
 
Woooooeeeew, the cat's meow? Been awhile since I heard that! But I concur, this is one of the best portovers that I have had the pleasure of using, thanks for all your teams hard work, it is really appreciated. Don
 
Anyone else counting down the days and hours until Christmas like the girl in the Hallmark commercial? :jump:
 
Working on it, boys. A few bumps in the taxiway to the Xmas tree. Sorry we missed it... :redf:

Please allow us a bit more time.

cheers,
jan

Don't sweat it. I've been swamped with a family health crisis since before Christmas, and wondered whether I'd missed the release. Thanks for the update, and your efforts.
