Tom73 Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 :music_whistling: Hi chaps, after an extended break from sim forums (former IL-2 modder/forum admin etc.) I decided to come back to simming as more or less very silent member. The F-86, along the P-51 and F-5 family and the 104s is my favourite object of desire. Been such a nerd, must have watched literally every video on the Sabre I could get a more or less thorough search result on the YouTube Google arena. What I totally like about DCS Sabre videos is the outside 3D smoothness and the FM as far as I watched videos, not yet dived into fast speed videos. What all the years prevented me was the pit. Frankly, even with the front armor glass fix available, I do not like it at all.:huh: What IMHO is fully wrong is the canopy frame aspect and proportion, too wide in relation to height, too thick in comparison to the front panel and well...the front armor glass, speaking about later Sabre models from E onwards incl. Canadair Sabres and Avons...is wrong. This is what I had hoped for...I'm a aware there is already a plethora of related shots, videos, threads with similar topic content here.. Made myself a modded IL-2 F-86 pit mod as well, but for obvious reasons and since I can't code or model 3D for cookies...won't help me here lol. So, in closing the request /topic and annyoance...I would like to ask if the pit might one day sooner or later get a revisit in the 3D shape area, rest seems well...except the mirror, same as above, wrong ratio and rest is cool.. Thanks for reading. Cheers T
Tom73 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Edit, aka PS: I would like to close the slightly frustrated above post with the following comment: If there is a modder or 3rd party gent willing to give this cockpit some extra love with minor 3D adjustments I am willing to fully support with all the references I can come up with and maybe help with some extra on top in form of a minor front glass texture mod. Did the same for a Sabre pit in IL-2 and do not know why it should not be possible here. I think I will buy this segment as it's simply my favourite jet next to 2 Mach 1-2 capable jets.:thumbup: Cheers Tom (That might easily be my last Sabre post anywhere lol .. ) Edited December 29, 2017 by Tom73
