Happy to announce we have released the SP1 for our F-86F-30 Sabre.

 

You can download it here: http://milviz.com/fs/item.php?id=F-86

 

Simply click "BUY NOW" to purchase or reinstall.

 

Vendors will have SP1 as soon as they update their files.

 

All the best!

Great! Got a changelog? As in - it's pretty damned great as it is, so what changes when we update?

Too many to count. Seriously.

 

The biggest and most noticeable would be the canopy shape when seen from the front... the pilot sitting more forward and leaning down to avoid getting his head cracked...

 

Some minor FDE changes, CTD fixes in a variety of areas...

 

Lots of stuff...

Is SP1 available to AVSIM Store customers?

it was sent.

Since AVSIM has decided to close their store completely, it may take a few days for them to update their server with the new SP1 installer... :blink: :wacko:

 

According to the announcement Tom made today, AVSIM will continue to provide service to existing customers indefinitely, but will not be making any new sales.

==========

 

1) Leaned pilot forward, adjusted head

2) Pilot will "duck" when canopy opens, then straighten slightly

3) Mirror folds up so it won't smack the pilot in the forehead!

4) Raised GPU cable so it will lie properly with full loadout and fuel

5) Fixed mapping for speedbrake pistons so they are fully chromed

6) Included Jon's latest gauge builds

7) Softened up the on ground panel vibrations (now tied to nosegear compression

8) Changed landing light to turn on when nosegear strut is fully unloaded

NOTED ISSUES REMAINING

======================

1) HUD "screen" still not working when viewpoint is "off bore-sight."

 

CHANGE LOG

10/21/2012

==========

1) Installed AoA "Shake System" with sound effects. Shift-4 to bring up a test gauge to see actual AoA numbers for reference.

2) Added mouse and animation to CRS knob, which will set pilot's desired HDG on the gyro compass's dial. Pilot steers until needle is aligned with top of card.

3) Fixed the altitude "unsafe" warning flag. Below FL160 window of altimeter has red/black diagonal stripes.

 

CHANGE LOG

10/19/2012

==========

1) Lowered GPU a bit to contact ground

2) Connected exterior's interior to the fuselage to close gap

3) Reanimated the right main gear door's strut animation

4) Added mouse repeat and tooltips to both rudder and aileron trim toggles. Oddly, aileron trim does not work even using the keyboard commands (Ctrl-NUM4, Ctrl-NUM6)

6) Darkened and thickened the engine "smoke" as much as possible, moved closer to the exhaust pipe

7) Eliminated the extraneous angled "smoke" when LL are turned on

8) Fixed fuel qty and fuel totalizer to exclude tanks.

8) This installer includes the new GPU sounds, but won't be heard until Jon's new gauge is ready

9) This installer also removes unneeded sound files that are never used

10) Removed my "temporary" gear in transit XML script so it won't interfere with Jon's final gauge.
