Milviz F-86 Sabre SP1 - Released

[brettt777]

Okay, I had the flap problem but went through the process of making sure everything from the original was uninstalled and then reinstalled SP1 again, and now the flaps work as advertised. I am wondering though, is the fuel feeding problem fixed where it stops at about 29% and flames out? Also, I am still having the audio issue where the level goes up and down every 20-60 seconds, and it does this constantly, throughout the flight, even on the ground. None of my other planes do this, including my Milviz T-38. I have no idea why this is happening but it is very annoying and distracting. I have changed a few audio settings around trying to correct this problem but nothing has worked.

I haven't flown the F-86 since I formatted my PC. Though I thought I would stop by and say "thanks" for the update.

[snow_white]

still getting ctd when exit f86 as mentioned on milviz forum, even after rebuilding fsx.cfg as instructed.

Sp is great but I have not once ever been able not to experience a CTD at the end when exiting flight with f86.

currently put to the back of hanger. a shame really. Well off to fly the b55 that i enjoy just as much.!

[dvj]

I have a support ticket into Flight1.

The flight1 wrapper will not accept the keycode when trying to reinstall the SP1, (says invalid key code and password). But it reinstalls the original F-86 file just fine. Don't know if anyone else has this probelm, but from looking at the few issues posted here, this is not a trouble-free update. :isadizzy:

[krazycolin]

I think it's my bad on the installation of the key.

I will rebuild it tonight or tmrw and repost it.

For the others... well.. the CTD is not, sorry to say, a game killer as it only happens when you are changing the plane or exiting the flight.

You SHOULD (this is not just my recommendation) restart FSX to flush your memory...

[JAllen]

Changing liveries, aircraft and every way with no CTD and without restarting FSX. This is a sweet aircraft!!! Thanks guys!

By personal experience of Milviz's team support for their customers, I'd like to publicly express my deep appreciation for this team's effort to not only offer their admirably nice products, but also to prove that besides commercial developers, they're first and foremost nice people and good friends.

THANK you COLIN, STEVE and all of the superb MILVIZ team.

[Roadburner440]

Thank you guys for the kind words about the product. It really means a lot to use after a lot of hard work involved in putting these birds together. For those still experiencing problems we do apologize, and will continue to work in an effort to get your issues resolved. We definately try to do everything that we can to make you guys happy even if that does mean refunding your money if you bought from F1 or our site in the first 30 days.

Hello,

Any update on this fix? My SP1 download will still not accept passwords or key.

[Stan V.]

Hello,

Any update on this fix? My SP1 download will still not accept passwords or key.

dvj, I am not from Milviz but are you certain that you purchased from Milviz originally? If not, you need to re-download the SP1 package from the SAME site as where you purchased the original. Milviz's own downloads do, in fact, use the Flight1 Wrapper installer, and if you downloaded the updated SP1 package from Milviz, you would need either a key file or a password to complete the installation. Other vendor sources, e.g., FSPilot Shop, however, do not use the F1 wrapper installer even if the product itself originates from Milviz, and once you have downloaded the update from your original source, it can be installed relatively easily without another password or key file.

[krazycolin]

Besides, you have to go to OUR site for all support issues.

[OleBoy]

I had the same scenario as DVJ. When I heard of the SP1 being released, I thought nothing of it and downloaded the update via the Milvis link.
Being as it was a Flight1 wrapper type package, it would not install with out name/reg etc.
Then it dawned on me that I purchased via Sim market.
I logged into my account, downloaded the updated installer, and it installed without a hitch.

I have had zero problems from the F-86 otherwise.

The product was orignally purchased through the Milviz site, "Buy Now" button, then downloaded via the flight 1 wrapper.

I only asked the question because you said: "I think it's my bad on the installation of the key.

I was just wondering if this had been done?

Obviously I'll need to go to the Milviz support forum. I have no response from the Flight 1 support ticket I placed 2 days ago.

[krazycolin]

I understand but I did check it and it's good.

However, I would suggest that you redownload it (again) and try it. If your key is still not working contact me at colin at milviz period com and we'll fix you up.

[Naruto-kun]

Ok normally i watch for and deal with the CTD issues...but i have been away on a camp for the past week (my first holiday in 2 years wow). Apologies for the inconviniences...

Anyways i have been doing some checking and sharing of files with one of our customers and i have a sneaking suspicion that something is not being overwritten by the installer. I am waiting for confirmation as well from one of our testers and once i have that, Ill be posting a file in the support forums which will take care of this.

Enjoy

[imn2sims]

OK, I finally bought it at Simmarket (yes I know about the impending sale but hate the wrapper business). It is vR1.121129. So is that the latest and greatest? I tried to cipher the threads here and at Milviz but only became more confused.

Thanks
Steve

[krazycolin]

Yes it is the correct version

[imn2sims]

Yes it is the correct version

Thanks Colin, only had about 30 minutes with her and she's a gem

[Naruto-kun]

FYI i uploaded a small file to the Support forums with a fix for those who are getting CTDs due to the installer not overwriting a file properly.

[delta_lima]

Ok - gave in, took the Mayan coupons, drank the Koolaid, installed with no issues.

Looks and flies quite nice - only had 1 hr or so. But I cannot turn the panel lights on. I know where they are - that triangular panel down and to the right. I can mouse over them, but they don't move or actually turn the lights on. I have followed the startup procedure - and the landing lights and positioning lights work fine - just can't get those others to turn on.

Any ideas?

thanks!

Please tell me your startup procedure routine.
