At this very moment I am downloading the Section F8 F-86E for FSX at SIMVIATION.

looks like a flying club version, they came out with a FSX native model? News to me, i only knew of some cfg tweaks to make it work in FSX
It looks like full FSX. Don't know if it's a demo...it's in worn Flight Sim Nation colors. But a complete aircraft with lots of extra fun stuff. Looks like this great group has done it again.

As I can't afford any of the great new aircraft mentioned in these forums this could be fantastic news :woot:
It says FSX SP2 ready so, we shall see. (39.7mb seems a bit small though?)
Sloooow download too.
I thought it was too good to be true.
As far as I'm concerned SP2 ready means DX10 compatible.
This isn't.
:angryfir:
Well, I guess you should always read the "README" file first. It states: "It is by no means a full FSX upgrade with a true FSX model file; this will be done by SectionF8 themselves."
Sorry I got it wrong. See the other thread that I missed before I started this one.

Its true I was too impatient to read the README first.
Never mind. The VC view gives you a nice preview of how good the true FSX version will be when its released.
seeing how long it took the fs9 version so long to come out i wouldnt expect the FSX version too soon
If you fly in DX9 mode, what does it matter if its not FSX native ? As long as the frame rates are fine, theirs plenty of eye candy then I am happy. In fact some native fsx models I have tried clobber my computer, so I take each on its own merits.
I know, and I have a LOT of FS9 planes in my FSX hangar.
The advantages of the native FSX aircrafts is that:
- you get much better FPS
- you are guaranteed that all the engine gauges work properly (problems with starters are common in FSX, the HS.748 from Rick Piper is just one of the best examples)
- you don't have any display issue with the canopies and propeelers appearing behind the clouds
- you can use the Bloom effect
- you get the self-shadow
I have this Sabre in my FSX hangar, but as soon as the native model will be released, the compatible one will be deleted and replaced.
