Classic British Flight Sim

The prolific Mr Ito has released a rather nice F-86D Sabre Dog, available over at Flightsim.

Usual caveats when considering any new Itosan production, the FDE will probably need work; in this instance it has been made easier by the existence of Bob Chicilo's existing updates for the Wooster Sabre.

Lot of excitement about this over at the Outhouse; they are waiting for his permission to release a 'shiny' model which should make for some awfully nice repaints.

I've got it, it needs afterburner effects adding. I don't think it's a big step forward from the Wooster Dog but I am pleased Mr Ito is well enough to continue his prolific output.

The Wooster Dog was not particularly easy to repaint, which is why people like this one, it looks like it's going to be a lot easier to make repaints - and are there a lot of potential repaints waiting to be done, or what!!

Sorry Harry to the best of my knowledge the 86 (any model) never had afterburner/reheat

I was surprised as well Leif, but apparently the Dog Sabre (and the L & K) did have afterburning J47s!

really......well Im blessed if Im not blowed......to quote Mr Grouser.

I stand corrected myself

Mr Ito in his introduction confirms the D model and its derivatives did have an afterburner. This was to boost the climb to interception altitude as the D carried a lot more weight than the original day fighter Sabres and climb rate would have suffered. I don't think top speed was vastly increased. I've used the same afterburner effect as the Wooster Dog with some tweaks and it looks OK to me.
