F-86 Sabre /MiG-15 README:

 

 

First of all I would like to think “USAFMTL” for allowing me to be a part of this effort.

 

 

Secondly thanks go to David Zurawski for his wonderful F-86 Sabre that is such a work of art.

 

 

Thirdly thank you to all that have modeled and skined the work to developed individual sub-models of the F-86.

 

 

Thanks to Jimmy Bib for all his graphical engineering.

 

 

Lastly thank you to “Fubar 512" for his expert guidance in my effort in Flight Modeling.

 

 

 

If ever the was an aircraft the looked, felt, smelt, and tasted like a fighter aircraft ; it’s the F-86 Sabre!

 

 

And being an actual jet rated pilot, with a little over 1,200 actual flight hours, compelled me to tweak , my “Sweet Sabre”.

 

 

Being my all time favorite aircraft and being an avid history nut about the Korean Conflict compelled me in an effort to add to these works that so many started.

 

 

First of all. All data contained in the data.ini files was deeply researched by “USAFMTL” and myself.

 

 

Only minor tweaks where utilized, building on the work of those that created the aircraft models.

 

 

All aircraft preform to Dash 1 specifications to the degree of 99.9%.

 

 

All aircraft where thoroughly tested by hundreds hours of actual, not autopilot, testing.

 

 

 

The yank and bank style of A.C.M. with this aircraft is gone.

 

 

 

Key points are :

1) Keeping a high energy fight.

 

 

2) Thinking well ahead of what the aircraft is, or what you want it to do.

 

 

3) The required use of the speed brakes to alter or set up YOUR fight or flight, in reference to turning radius. Not just chopping the throttle, that is a only a good way to die.

 

 

4) And for the self proclaimed, “Fighter Aces”, fly these models on the HARD setting, to truly test your skill.

 

 

5) All F-86 and MiG-15 are uniform in performance. The aircraft preform as did the actual models of this noble era.

 

 

6) The addition of armor to all aircraft end the ,“QUICK KILL”. These can be altered still to fit ones preference.
