Sabreliner for FSX?

[falcon409]

Aside from Mike Stone's and Kazunori Ito's (T-39_both without a VC), is anyone aware of one "with" a VC?

[Sundog]

Not that I'm aware of, but I would love to have one as well.

....three guys who want a native FSX Sabreliner!

ME TOO!!!! I wish FSD had finished the GA jet they were doing for FSX....what an awesome plane!

....I'd LOVE to see a JetStar as well.

FSD had an almost ready FS9 version of a JETSTAR(not Sabreliner)which they dumped for a "Better" FSX Version-->which never appeared.I would even pay for the FS9 version as FSD planes usually work fine in FSX coming from FS9 (Aerostar 700)


But seems to be a NO GO

Yep....I would too. Jetstar was always a fav of mine...especially those USAF lizard paint jobs!

Looks like Ito's Sabreliner will have to do and I'll just work up a new 2D panel. Haven't flown with a 2D in ages but I can probably suffer through it, lol.

Very frustrating when something that looks this well developed gets dumped. Would port it to FSX in a flash (I actually like making the usually few tweaks to make ports work) and one would have thought they would release what they had already sunk the time and cost of for cheap $ or as a goodwill freebie. Same thing happened with Bill Lyon's Turbo Mallard after he retired.

Funny to read the suggested system specs. Those were the days, huh?

The screenshots sure looked nice.

A group effort did a good job of bringing the Falcon 50 into FSX. Maybe the same can be done with a Sabreliner?

I agree, however, therein lies the problem, there is no Sabreliner worth putting the time into to get it into FSX. There are only two and neither one has a VC. By the time someone (or some group) invested the amount of time necessary to revamp one of them and develop a comprehensive, functioning VC, it would be more logical to simply build an FSX Sabreliner from scratch. At least that's how I view it. My guess is that will happen just like a native F-100 Super Saber will happen.:salute:

Hey Ron Zambrano....any chance Razbam would take this on??

The Navy and Marines did in fact fly the Sabreliner for many years.

Is the Sabreliner still used by the USN or the USMC at all now?

Chief, the Navy does in fact still operate the T-39 today, just had a flight of 3 about a month or so lined up on the ramp at my FBO here in NW Montana ... Mike :salute:

From Wikipedia - "Today, VT-86 trains Naval Flight Officers and Navigators/Combat Systems Officers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Systems_Officer) in the U.S. Navy's T-39 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-39) Sabreliner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabreliner) and T-45C Goshawk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-45_Goshawk). Retirement of the T-2C Buckeye (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-2_Buckeye), which preceded the T-45, was completed in September 2008."

I flew the T-39 at VT-86 back in 1977, so they've been operating those aircraft for a long, long time.

Yes and a constant for now in the skies around NAS Pensacola, soon to be phased out. I'm using the Stone model as AI, but wouldn't mind having one to fly around in FSX, a real classic jet.
