A quick one for you Andy..
You've applied the paint (according to the aircraft.cfg entry) to the 'Hard Wing' model which is where I've put it. However, the Hard Wing versions are all F86.. the F86a being the 'Slat Version' which is what G-SABR is (unless the wording on the fuse is wrong) :shock:
Only a small point and in reality I'm more than happy with the paint.. impressed in fact which is something that doesn't happen often!

Will have a fiddle and see if I can squeeze it onto the Slat model but no prob if I can't

I was looking at all the photos I had and I was 50/50 as to if it was slats or not. I could not find a single shot with them open!! I'll get a new cfg entry sorted asap and post it here (and update the download)

That's ok mate. Were it not for the fact that all the F86a models are 'Slat's.. I'd not have twigged either!!

Cracking paint regardless of what it fits

here we go, just pop the textures in the F86A folder, and use this in aircraft.cfg:

[fltsim.X]
title=gmaxf86a G-SABR
sim=gmaxf86a
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=gsabr
kb_checklists=GmaxF86_check

The download link has also been updated to include the new info.

Nice job Andy, it's great to have a rendition of G-SABR at last

Sorry Dave (and Andy) got to make a correction, while it might have been built as an F86A, s/n 48-178, G-SABR has the 'hard' 6-3 wing, compare the photo here

http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0902209/M/

with this reference from Duncan Curtis' web page

http://f-86.tripod.com/wings.html

you'll see wot I mean!

Also of interest, there was no plain F86 designation, for 'Standard Fit' the first production models with slats were F86A, later models,F86E/F gained the '6-3'hard wing, then to confuse things even more, slats were re-introduced on an extended span '6-3' wing F86F/K and on a short span Canadair '6-3' wing for the Sabre mark 6

This doesn't take into account aircraft like G-SABR, which were fitted with
the hard wing as a field modification!

The general concensus of opinion at Sim-Outhouse is the the versions modelled by Kirk represent F86E and F, the E being available with or without slatted wing.

Now, likewise the RAF ones were,in the main, Canadair Sabre Mk 2's and 4's which had....wait for it....slatted wings but some of which were
modified both in service and at build, to have the '6-3' hard wing.
When they were returned to the USAF, these were all designated F86E(M) the (M) for modified..regardless of wing fitted..confused..you will be!
