irfanahmed1979 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I remember when I used to play Falcon 4 BMS, the maximum amount of internal fuel that the F-16 could land with was 4600 lbs IIRC. So pilots had to burn the extra fuel before making a landing. In some versions there was even a fuel dumping option but in BMS it wasn't included I think because in real life it doesn't happen (I may be wrong). Anyway, 1. Is there any limit to the landing weight of the Sabre Jet? 2. I landed sometimes with my external fuel tanks still attached but usually they touch the runway slightly but the plane remains intact. Has anyone tried a successful landing with external fuel tanks on?

Paganus Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 In the ME the max is listed @ 20611 lbs The heaviest loadout I can find for it is 19678 lbs with 4 bags and 2 heaters. It lands fine at that weight. You know your heavy but it's very doable.
Vitormouraa Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Check the T.O, the DCS: F-86F Manual doesn't seem to mention maximum landing weight. I don't have the F-86's manual here so I can't do that for you. But the Max takeoff weight is 20,611 lbs (9,348 kg) as Paganus said above. I think as long as you keep it below that, it shouldn't be a problem. SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com
Rudel_chw Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 ... 1. Is there any limit to the landing weight of the Sabre Jet? Hello, The manual of the real F-86F-30 states: 2. I landed sometimes with my external fuel tanks still attached but usually they touch the runway slightly but the plane remains intact. Has anyone tried a successful landing with external fuel tanks on? I've never had this happen to me .. perhaps are you flaring too much on landing and striking the runway with the tail? I do follow this chart, for determining the correct landing speed based on the weight of the aircraft: Best regards For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
