OK boys'n girls ... Looks like I'll be releasing an updated version of the F-86 Saber sometime this week.New/updated things: 1.) Working and very functional airbrakes. 2.) Small details (pilot tube, stall fences and fuel pylons). 3.) DanW's awesome release skin! 4.) visable gear-door holes. 5.) FM is making reasonable headway. 6.) semi-working shadow (works on some surfaces and not others). 7.) External droptanks Left to do: 1.) FM..FM..FM ... and then more FM. 2.) Damage-modeling 3.) fix the shadow? (very low priority) So without any further rambling ... here's some pics to drool over: http://zursfilepile/webjump.com/Alpha1.jpg http://zursfilepile/webjump.com/Alpha2.jpg http://zursfilepile/webjump.com/Alpha3.jpg Hopefully ... I'll release this before Friday.  IP: Logged |

Zur,They look great mate  A good mate of mine in Sydney has a book on the CA-27 Sabre, so he sent me some stats on its 30mm cannon ......So for when the time comes ... (gunInit (gunName 'gun2 gunMV 2600 gunWeight .200 gunROF 1200 gunWarhead 1 gunAmmo 162 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndCannon2")) (gunInit (gunName 'gun4 gunMV 2600 gunWeight .200 gunROF 1200 gunWarhead 1 gunAmmo 162 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndCannon2")) The only things I plucked here are the 'gunWeight' and 'gun Warhead'. All the others are accurate .....I guess we better watch our trigger fingers with this one  Cheers, AGAS 5

.... ArgonV,No ... I still have to consider it an ALPHA until I square the major FM and DM issues out. As much as I'd like to call it beta ... I have a lot of pride in what I do and refuse to advance it until "I'm" happy with it. ...Won't be too much longer though! IP: Logged |

Zur, lol I noticed it (Saber instead of Sabre) but forgot to say anything about it.... slipped my mind. DOH! I even went out of the way to change the Loadout.ppf file. LoL! Im such a crack head.  P.S. Glad you are set on completing this plane. [This message has been edited by ArgonV (edited 08-21-2000).] IP: Logged |

Zur,Noticed that spelling too ....sorry ... Glad that info was of help.... Forgot to mention.... the 30mm had Ball and HE ammo ....I guess you'd call this load out HE because combined with that ROF it really makes a mess of things.....  I've got some contacts in the RAAF so I'll try and dig up some correct figures on the 'gunWeight' & 'gunWarhead' for both Ball and HE ammo. Cheers, AGAS 5 IP: Logged |

LOL!Speaking of loadout.ppf ... I don't suppose anyone noticed I took the time and trouble to do text for all the languages ... "It's the little things that count"  IP: Logged |

Zur, your internationalization effort has been appreciated... But, if I may suggest, some human translators could finish the job  IP: Logged |
