Shrike Simulations F-86 Sabre - First Look Preview! - MSFS 

Sounds like an epic story!

I have a mate who was in the RAAF and flew the CAC Avon Sabre, loved it.

Nope, I don’t take money for reviews. Sometimes they give me a copy to review but that’s it

I don't know about the Sabre, but DH Vampire pilots used to deploy the airbrake on approach so they could keep the engine spooled up in case of a go around.

@@otterspocket2826 Yes, that was a common practice back then, to enable keeping the engine spooled without getting too fast on the approach. It was used in the F-104 especially, because it had "blown" flaps, where engine bleed air was used to energize the boundary layer for slower approach speeds. You really had to keep the engine power up, otherwise the bleed air would not be sufficient for the system to work. The really awful thing about it was that one side would quit working first, and then you had a stall on one wing before the other. Needless to say, a very bad day.

That's right. On approach, you drug it in under decent power, full dirty landing configuration with speed brakes deployed. If a go around was needed, you could jam the throttle full forward and just pop the air brake back off, and go.

yup

Congrats bud

Good thing with msfs I can do around the world tour though. I actually fly a -86 in real life. So it’s nice to fly out of kgmj and use all my local land marks. Gotta love it ❤

If you are in the area let me know, we have a T-33 for rides ;)

@@richardstoffel6585 wait I wanna go too 😂

@richardstoffel6585 yeah I suppose that's a bonus. Just never understood the whole military aircraft in msfs. Like having a non alcoholic beer. Thanks for the offer 😊

Video buffering is on your end there... but trim it will, mine flew fine, check your weight balence too?

@@AvAngel oh I know the buffering is on my end my service is being dog ass right now, but I've messed with the weight and it'll behave slightly better but it just wants to pull up as if it was trimmed to do so. I'll dig around and see if it's something I'm doing but it's virtually unflyable unless I just fight the stick 100% of the time 🥲

I'd contact Shrike then, or try reinstalling, it had no tendency to do that for me.

​@@AvAngelI'll try uninstalling and re-installing it then, in the meantime I'm wishing I just copped the Su-27 smh

Yes and yes, though you don’t open this in flight

No it's my controller lying on its stick conflicting with my throttle quadrant imputs :D

@@AvAngel Sadly, i’ve done this to myself way too many times to count - “this piece of junk, why are you … ?” followed by OOPS…it’s doing exactly what I told it to do. Truly … PILOT ERROR.

With the installer? It was normal

I have it installed to comm folder but it doesn't show up in game. No thumbnail...😢

​@@AvAngelDId you have to select the community folder manually or did it find it automatically. My one installed OK but not into the community folder . You did have the option to browse on installation.

​@@northvanracerDid it auto install in the community folder. Mine didn't I have it on my desktop I tried dragging it into the folder but no luck .let me know if you solved the problem.

​@@jeffreyuprichard3754I did a cut/paste to comm folder and it's working.

Wing span input is used to compute range from an adversary during dogfighting. Dial in the wingspan, match the adversary’s wingspan to the HUD graphic, and you know you’re at the gun’s harmonization range for the ideal gun shot.

YIKES...every time I think I knew everything about aviation there's a genius like you who pops in...well done @@haverelmink

@@charliehilbrantNot a genius by a long shot, just knowledge from a previous career! 😉

And a person who takes the time to RTFM.@@haverelmink

At least you take the time to RTFM, unlike wizkid SHTC@@haverelmink
