Dudester22 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm going to purchase this aircraft regardless, but does anyone have any idea if it's going to be easier to learn then the A10C? I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm still learning the A10C :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradox Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well by most accounts the F-86 isn't the most docile of aircraft in its flight characteristics. The complexity of the systems obviously will be less but the flying of the thing might prove an unexpected challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceptre Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I imagine it will be easier than the P-51, if that gives you an idea of what it may be like.

Aginor Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I agree. It is much easier to learn than the A-10C. Perhaps as complicated as the Mustang (not very), perhaps even easier. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobek Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The systems are not complicated at all and the flight characteristics are comparably docile. However being combat effective without all the gimmicks that modern planes afford you is very much a different thing alltogether. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

Tucano_uy Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) +1 , Be carefull with sharp turns:thumbup: Does it have an audible stall warning or the only indication is buffeting? Gracias Edited June 14, 2014 by Tucano_uy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtPappy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The F-86 has no such stall buzzer or light. Like in the P-51, the pilot must feel the subtle buffet. Though the plane has a smaller static margin than the P-51, it has no prop wash with which to contend, so physically flying the plane should be easier at combat speeds with the exception of G overshoot which happens more easily in this aircraft.

Sceptre Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 And a lot easier to take off than with the P-51, because of no engine torque.

Brisafresca Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The only audible warning in the F-86F occurs when the throttle is below 70-76% RPM regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS F-86F-35 Unofficial Manual DCS F-86F-35 Condensed Checklist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 From what I've read in PIREPs, the Sabre is a pilot's aircraft. However, this is coming from individuals with more jet time than I, so they're probably talking from that perspective. Reformers hate him!

RNeves Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 And a lot easier to take off than with the P-51, because of no engine torque. I think you're getting it wrong... It does have engine torque, its a single engine aircraft... The only way of not having torque effect is by having 2 engines rotating on oposite directions...

SgtPappy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 He means torque as in prop wash, not torque as in moment or the gyroscopic effects from angular momentum that you're likely referring to. Don't know if those things are modeled or even need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG4_Sputnik Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Do you guys know if it will have a clickable cockpit? I own the P51 which has it and the Su-25 which has it not. So how do they decide wheater it will come with clickpit or not`? Is it even possible to make a modern jet fighter with clickpit or is this complexity too much even for a DCS module?

Yes Is it even possible to make a modern jet fighter with clickpit or is this complexity too much even for a DCS module? yes The Mi8 has clickable pit and all the other DCS titles do including future 3rd party ones like the Hawk and Mig-21Bis.

mjmorrow Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 No more videos of the f-86? For me, the best videos will be gameplay videos, supplied by customers. Watching like minded persons take personal responsiblility for endorsing a product, stating reasons why they like the product, and demonstrating, through a gameplay video, their enjoying themselves using the product, really helps me make decisions about what I might like to purchase or not.

Tom73 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) No more videos of the f-86? Could post a sh*tload of videos (popular ones) of F-86s inflight, yet feel a tad disinclined since I basically busted my Saturday evening by digging up old (and some new) F-86 ressources to one of your moderators and did not even receive an answer. :( I find it remarkable that among all those fan replies no one noted the F-86 cockpit is actually quite a tad mis shaped on the front cockpit ratios. Well, if that stays this way I happily stay with the arcade Korean era IL-2 Sabre and its (for its sim era) kickass cockpit.

Mogster Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Do you guys know if it will have a clickable cockpit? I own the P51 which has it and the Su-25 which has it not. The Su25 isn't a a DCS module, it's a lower fidelity Lock On FC series module that ED have released to work in the DCS World game engine. The Lock On title is given to ED's less detailed aircraft, mostly they have less detailed somewhat simplified avionics. They did have more basic flight models but ED is gradually updating them. Lock On is an earlier multi aircraft sim that ED produced before they moved to full switch advanced flight model single aircraft releases like the A10C. Confused, you will be :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
