Milviz F-86F-30 Sabre - Released

[JAllen]

D/L to engine start and not a hitch. Absolutely a work of art and a great flyer. First flight from Sheppard AFB up to 30K and tried a stall recovery. AMAZING!! Took almost 10K back to level flight but then, I took my time with it.

[Barnes]

I agree - now rate this product as one of the best in hangar and a keeper.

[Barnes]

Well...A work in progress...

Great Work Cody - my version of Photoshop wont really work the paintkit so I look forward to that one :salute:

Nice bird!

It's a real beauty !
Made my first flight from Bowerman, just a few minutes, low to high altitude, just to burn some fuel before landing.
Once again, I get quite a big FPS hit with that plane, just like with the Baron and the F-15, and even with the texture_max_load at 1024. However, given the fact that many people told me they didn't have any FPS hit at all with this Sabre, I am now investigating (once more) my various settings to try to spot the cause of the hit.

The Sabre remains enjoyable (a lot) in the not-so-crowded areas, I love it so far

Probably the cause of the FPS hit it's the engine smoke effect.

Damn....Those shots look anything but CG....Too real. Any chance you can send em to me at 1024x768 or higher(same aspect ratio)? I want the top one for my desktop.

No, it's not the smoke. Actually, the FPS are quite smooth in external view. It's only in the VC. I'm still investigating on that. The amount of people affected by the FPS hit is quite small, so it had to be some incorrect graphic setting or tweak on my side.

There you go !

Thanks a bunch

I have started working on this one which I taxi by every time I fly from my club in Tatoi:

The graphics are awesome but the best thing is that they are combined with a fantastic FDE. These both give this plane some real soul!

Fly the guts out of this bird and you will have the time of your life!

Today, I will be working on a much simplified version of the paint kit so that everyone may use it... Should be done soon...

We, the MV team, would like to thank all of you for all the compliments. They are truly heartwarming...

Thanks,

[YoYo]

Is it possible to turn on gunsight?

Cant find this option.

[CODY]

O-Kay...I think it's is finished...





I'll get the rest of it done if you guys want it?

Excellent work Cody.

HEHEHE....1.12 Gig in PhotoShop...It is intense! Scrolling and zooming get's interesting...I did take a nap while it was saving some of the final files!

Barnes, I'm using CS 8...On the next couple I do I'm going to clean up PSD's and then flatten them...and then paint on them, When the major painting is done I'll transfer it to fresh PSD and save it that way. That will eliminate the huge files while painting.:isadizzy:

Right, not many time for this (yet, MiG Alley waits) but is possible:

Good to add CS Weapon FSX til the Tack Pack not released. Will try.

[Daube]

My FPS hit is gone
I switched from the internal FPS limitation (I have never been so lucky with the other FPS-limitation modules) to the "1/2 refresh rate" technique with the NVidia drivers. Now both the Baron and the Sabre fly smoooooooooooooth !!! :ernae: I haven't tested the F-15 yet.
The GPS unit of the Baron still hits the FPS a bit when I turn it on, but it's fine like that, the FPS go back up after a few seconds.

[Kiwikat]

I will be painting this one as soon as I get back home and can purchase the plane. Andy Nott was nice enough to make it for me for the Alphasim Sabre years ago, but I know a lot more about photoshop now. Will be nice to have her back in the sim again.

Damn....your sim looks waaay better than mine. FWIW though on FSX tweaks....The frame limiter in Nvidia Inspector or Nvidia drivers is the best i have seen so far. To further reduce the load on the sim, instead of running at unlimited i set it to 40-60 fps and limit it to 30 with Nvidia. Works like a charm.

[Daube]

Really ? Then I will give that a try too. Thanks for the advise
Concerning the quality of my shots, it's mainly due to two parameters:
- the Antialiasing is disabled in the sim (DX9), and forced in NVidia Inspector to 8xS
- I'm using the ENB bloom package available from the REX forums, the one nammed SUNLIGHT. The picture are always a bit too dark, though, but the overall colors are quite nice.

[OleBoy]

For those on the fence that have considered this one, have a look at these shots the team has on Facebook. The damn thing is so realistic, it's like your there.

*Note: Look on the bottom, "view larger", then right click, select "view image", then left click for full resolution.**

Simply, and utterly amazing levels of detail.
I am SO going to fall off the fence.

In fact, I just did.:ernae:

To the developing team, I would still like to have a "Factory Fresh" scheme as a base layer on the paint templates.

It is a work of art eh. I may have to pick this one up. Just watched the promo video for it on thier FB page...thank you for adding in the sounds of the aircraft in the video. So disapointing to see all these nice videos out for aircraft but they always leave out the sound of it. A shame really.

Glad to see this one has some audio in it from in game.
