January 25Jan 25 Anyone using this bird in SU4? I'm curious if there the sim update broke anything. Snowy cold afternoon here. I thought I'd perhaps pick it up if there aren't any issues.

January 25Jan 25 Jon Beckett usually covers the majority of the good addons for MSFS, even the .mil stuff: https://jonbeckett.substack.com/p/taking-the-shrike-simulations-f-86#:~:text=Shrike Simulations have recently updated their North,take it for a test flight :) I personally don’t have any of the Shrikes, but the parent co BlackBird v2020 addons I have are all working well.
January 25Jan 25 Author Thank you. I watched that video and it was obvious he was not particularly familiar with this add-on, so if there were some less obvious issues lerking, he might have missed them. Further, it predates SU4, which broke several add-ons in various ways.

January 25Jan 25 Author OTOH, it's cheap and I loved this thing in FSX and P3D, so it's now purchased.

But I was able to takeoff and land without an incident on my first flight, so it can't be too bad. 😉 [email protected] - ROG Strix Z790-E - 2X16Gb G.Skill Trident DDR5 6400 CL32 - MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X - WD SN850X 2 TB M.2 - XPG S70 Blade 2 TB M.2 - MSI A1000G PCIE5 1000 W 80+ Gold PSU - Liam Li 011 Dynamic Razer case - 58" Panasonic TC-58AX800U 4K - Pico 4 VR HMD - WinWing HOTAS Orion2 MAX - ProFlight Pedals - TrackIR 5 - W11 Pro (Passmark:12574, CPU:63110-Single:4785, GPU:50688)
January 26Jan 26 I enjoy the Sabre - it's my goto airplane when I need to get back to my roots (the Avons were quite slow to spool up)- I bought the Hunter & was dissapointed in that - just couldn't get the seating position right - there was a free Hunter for 2020 that was much better than the new one - just my 2 cents worth Rattso Cooler Master Cosmos 700M - MSI Godlike X (Devillike!!) - AMDD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (water cooled) - 128gb Corsair Vengeance 5200 D5 - ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Liquid OC GDDR7 32GB - EVGA 2000W P/S - Creative AE-7 - intel Optane 500gb - 3x 2tb M2 SSDs - 2x 2tb Samsung EVO SSDs - 1x Hybrid 2tb HDD - Brunner CLS-63E Joystick - Honeycombe Bravo quadrant - Brunner CLS-B rudder pedals - Samsung Odessey Ark 55" - G9 49" monitor
January 29Jan 29 Is anyone having an issue with the taxi/landing lights not aimed properly? Seems to aim left and back. Thanks i7-13700KF @ 5.3GHz 32.0GB DDR5 @ 5600 RTX 3080 65" LG OLED @ 4k

I recall flying much the Milviz one in FSX, and wishing there was an Autopilot…🙂… Such a nice a/c to fly in our SIM…!
January 29Jan 29 You folks might enjoy one of these then. One of our guys in the AuthentiKit community is designing it at the moment. When it's done the files will be free to download. It's self assembly and you print the files yourself or there's a friends'n'family type scheme where others in the community will print for you.

They're quite useless for taxi. The user manual suggest this is intentional (realignment when there's weight on the gear), but it seems like a bit of a miss to me.
