Boomstick Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Fairly new to the F-86F, so this is perhaps something with an obvious solution. Maybe it's something I'm overlooking, but I'm having some problems with my F-86F. Every time I get within .5 NM of any jet, the F-86F shudders and drops like a rock. Doesn't matter if I've got a 90 degree deflection or right up his tailpipe, and whatever my airspeed or how the aircraft is angled. Get that close, I get a loud, rushing sound, and the aircraft drops. Highly annoying when I have a perfect shot at a MiG. It happens sooner (i.e at a greater distance) when I'm on his tail, but it still happens when I have a different angle. The only time I don't get this is when I am coming down from above and ahead, but that isn't always an option. What am I overlooking? It can't be jet wash (or at least that can't be the only issue), as I get this whatever the angle. He conquers, who endures. -Perseus Aliit ori'shya tal'din.
ricktoberfest Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Sounds like you're high speed stalling. Probably pulling that extra little bit to line up.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah gotta fly her like an exotic sports car trying to kill you. Respect her and she'll behave. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN.
Ramstein Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I find it bleeds of speed badly in turning.. and is very unstable in most turns,, you have to be very gentile with turns...:pilotfly: ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR
Boomstick Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah, that's probably it. I'll take her for a spin on Monday, see if it helps to be more gentle. I sadly tend to fly her like I fly the Su-25... He conquers, who endures. -Perseus Aliit ori'shya tal'din.
