Thought you'd use that paint Dave. :lol:
Pretty sure there's an RAF camo paint around somewhere too. *-)

Nice one Noddy :thumbsup:

Yes Dave.. got that one too. The jury is out on UK Camo F86's. Nothing wrong with the paint and I know it's authentic.. just that the F86 LOOKS American and to see it with UK markings is a little odd.. not quite right if you see what I mean :lol:

The Section8 F86 sabre is superb though a bit tricky to install into FSX.
The cockpit is nicely aged and fully functional, it has good smoke effects and models overspeed damage to the undercarriage and flaps if you don't get them up by 180 knots. It is slow up to about 300 knots then takes off and just keeps getting faster. Its particularly good for fast, low level flying.
Speedbrakes only work on a key control not an axis and you need to use them as it doesn't like slowing to mundane speeds, as for landing.
One of my favourite planes alongside Dave's Mosquito and Rob Richardson's Hornet (with modified sound pack).
Great fun
