F-86F Sabre on July
 

 

Press Release
 
 
DCS: F-86F SABRE TAKING OFF IN JULY 2014
 
DUXFORD, UK, May 29th, 2014 –The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics in cooperation with Belsimtek to release DCS: F-86F Sabre as a digital download in July 2014 
 
The North American F-86F Sabre was the most capable western fighter of the early- to mid-1950s. This swept wing, single engine jet was the most important western aircraft of the Korean War and often tangled with Russian-made MiG-15s over the infamous “MiG Alley”. It was a hard struggle not only for the Korean sky, but also between two excellent aircraft builders of the East and West. In addition to its primary role as an air-to-air fighter, the Sabre could also carry bombs and air-to-ground rockets to attack ground targets.
 
The Belsimtek simulation of the Sabre is by far the most authentic recreation of this famous warbird to date. Feel what is to fly the Sabre with a professional level flight model, an interactive cockpit, fully functional weapons, a detailed damage model and a richly detailed aircraft. Experience the strengths and weaknesses of the Sabre in combat and find out why seasoned fighter pilots often look back at the Sabre as the most enjoyable aircraft they ever flew.
 
As part of DCS World, fly the F-86F Sabre in a fully realized combat environment with working weapon systems and capable air and ground threats.

Looks nice!

 

I wish I had enough time to spend on DCS/FC3 to justify buying more modules.

I can't wait! It will be torture trying to decide whether to fly the F-86 or MiG-21 and also trying to stay proficient on the P-51D, F-15C, UH-1H, and Mi-8. Of all of them, the Mi-8 is the most challenging just transitioning into a hover before landing. I think I have almost got the landings down on the P-51D despite the difficulty of trying to do a soft-touch three-point landing with a tail-dragger.

Suddenly my Sabre feels so....  "Inadequate".

 

I wonder if poly-envy is a treatable malady?  :crazy:

Your Sabres still look and work great in  SF2. Nothing to feel inadequate about. One reason I feel TK never ventured into releasing a Wings Over Korea game is how well the free mod was done, and aside from the terrain, it was clearly centered on your F-86 variants.

I am not sure which aircraft I am looking forward to flying more: the MiG-21bis or the F-86F. I am going to love both.

The DCS F-86F appears to be the "hard wing" -- no slats. Great on paper, but slats eventually came back for a number of reasons.

While looking for "hard wing" vs "soft wing" for the F-86F, I found this very cool write-up:

http://sabre-pilots.org/classics/v21gunnery.htm

Lots of good info, but I liked this:

 

 

The '86s we had at Willie were a mix of hard and soft wing (with slats) aircraft. I got more air-to-air hits with the soft wing birds. The hard wing '86s were supposedly faster, but they were more difficult to hold on a target in the classic 4g pursuit curve and therefore less accurate.

I have the F-86F flight manual. It is very clear on the issue of slats vs unslatted: slats lower the stall speed vs weight/altitude graph curves by 15 knots across the board AND more importantly, unslatted aircraft are not as friendly at high AoA: turbulence, yaw, roll, depart with little warning. Hopefully, the DCS:F-86F models high AoA behavior accurately as I want the challenge of the hard wing if that's what they are providing. Of course, I would love to see more F-86 variants from the F-86A to the various blocks of F-86F. But I will take what I can get.
