[MVP] Mugga

Thanks guys, great to see some focus on how awesome the F86 Sabre module is for DCS! Ive searched and I cannot find any other builds online. If anyone from the community has built something, shout out! Picked up a neat original canopy open/close bracket and switch for the sim last night too. Photo attached.

AND SO IT BEGINS! Hey fellow F-86 Sabre pilots we are kicking off an epic F-86 Sabre Sim Pit build within the MVP community, for those keen to follow, feel free to jump on the MVP Discord https://discord.gg/brSBc9BWaZ The venerable F86 Sabre is now 73 years old having entered service in 1949. Withdrawn from active duty by the late 1960's the Sabre had become one of world's most iconic combat aircraft ever produced. Built in the US and under licence in Canada, Australia and Japan, a total of 9,860 aircraft were manufactured and delivered. Today only but a handful of flying examples remain in operation. What is my inspiration to build this sim pit? In 2020 I had the incredible opportunity to meet two of the 'RAAF Marksmen' airshow display team pilots who had flown the CAC CA27 Mk32 Sabres between 1962 and 1964 - both in their early 80s. To my surprise they were incredibly interested in the virtual world of flight simulation, both always eager to share their knowledge of the aircraft and their airshow flying. Unfortunately the last two Marksmen flew west in early 2022, at which point I decided I would make the sim pit build a priority with the goal of completing it in the colours of the RAAF Marksmen in recognition of the the team. The project will incorporate as many original authentic F-86 Sabre parts, and will be specifically setup for VR use. Meaning, all switches and selectors will work, but there will be no need for working instrumentation. We have already gathered together a decent amount of material, but still lots to come. If there are any other F86 Sabre sim pit builds, we would love to see them! Throughout the build, I will aim to post as many photos as possible so that there are plenty of reference images for future builders etc. If anyone would like specific images of any parts or assemblies, please just let me know and I will do my best to publish them. I warmly invite anyone with an interest in the F86 Sabre to follow along and to be part of the community.

Now we’re talking! ED we need this! Please give the F86 some love at the next update by including centreline exhaust smoke, with red, white and blue colours!

Apologies if this has been touched on before. We have recently formed the Virtual RCAF Golden Hawks and are wondering if there is a way to have the smoke coming out of the exhaust - as in real life - rather than the pink smoke from the HVAR rocket stations? Whilst the HVARS are useful, we would like the shows to have white smoke that is period correct? Any assistance would be helpful.

Not sure if this has been discussed in previous posts.... is there a way to produce airshow smoke form the aircraft exhaust, rather than the two rocket pods on the wings, which are pink? We have recently formed the Virtual RCAF Golden Hawks and we have no airshow smoke for the displays, that is unless you count our black smoke trails! Has anyone addressed this earlier? Is this possible? Thank you in advance.

Outstanding work, they look so damn good!

Just downloaded the upgraded sound files. Thanks enormously NIN, appreciate you going to the effort to help make the Fishbed Great Again! We have formed a Mig21 Formation Display Team called 'Inexplicable' and we have been training on the Aerobatics Online Open Beta server for the past two months. I will get all of our pilots to download and update their sounds so that our promotional videos sound that much more awesome! If any Mig21 driver would like to join us on our Discord, please feel free to add yourself using the following link; https://discord.gg/pRfjWe Introduce yourselves on the GENERAL channel and feel free to join up for some fun flying! --

Just downloaded and read through, thank you for posting. Some fantastic insights in that chapter.

Would be great to see you online!

Fellow Mig21 pilots, just a quick heads up that we have formed a Mig21 Formation Display Team called “inexplicable”, which is a reference to the US Air Force Have Donut project. If you haven’t read the report, it’s well worth the read. Our Discord is at: https://discord.gg/WsNYv6 We welcome all Mig21 pilots to come say hi. We often fly the Aerobatics Online Open Beta, along with private servers for intensive training. We have pilots training during USA, UK and Australian time zones and would love to connect with as many of you as possible. Regards, MUGGA
