F-86 Release date?

If that sound isn't WIP, I'd say that's what is misleading. I don't want to sound all grumpy, but really, if that sound isn't planned to be part of the module, I'd rather hear how it actually sounds.

 

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed when I heard this was added in. The actual sound effects would be nice.

I wonder if ED is considering or working on upgrading the sounds to reflect close to what you hear on these promo videos. I would assume they are in tune to the hype they read on these boards.

Actually if EDGE isn't out when the Sabre comes out, then the footage we have seen is a bit misleading.

 

Well we know there intent is to have EDGE out soon, we know its in testing and tuning... I dont think its going to ruffle too many feathers if the video is put out showing what is to come... including EDGE.

Oh man.....why do they tease me with the F-86, tell me that it's coming in July, and then won't let me impulsively grab my credit card and slap down the cash?!

DCS......Stop dragging my heart around!

 

Yeah, ED should consider selling coupons, perhaps to allow us to load them up to refill our "bonus accounts". Or just to purchase stuff from the e-shop.

 

That way we could spend money all the time, whenever we feel the urge (after each of Wags postings, new screenshots on facebook, etc.). And that without the feeling that we would waste money (as in buying the fifth Blackshark ...)!

 

 

Nah.

 

 

Better don't, ED.

 

 

 

... what would I do with a "bonus account" balance of 5000 $ ...? :D

just noticed in some of the screenshots, that the Canopy Rail looks like it would take the pilots head off when closing...

 

or is it my aging eyes?

Can you link the one you mean? I'm not sure if I see it.

 

There's this one, and one from before,

Just looks like the canopy frame would end up going through his head.

Like he's sittin a tad too high, or he's Kareem Abdul Jabbar

You are correct, and this actually was the case. The training films for the aircraft taught the pilot to bow his head as the canopy closed because of this. Also later German-flown Canadair Sabres with larger ejection seats had a modified rail that moved the canopy up as well as back.

What still needs to be corrected is the pitot tube. It isn't bent like it should be on all hard-wing F-86's.

Like in the P-51, the pilot with a helmet on would have to bow his head down when opening/closing the canopy.

ahh, So hopefully the External Canopy Closing Animation has the pilot bow his head :).

 

I think I'm gonna make that screenshot the desktop background on one of my screens, the polished silver is shiney and nice......

What's wrong with seeing this happening every time you close the canopy?

just what speed do you think canopy is closing? Plus to close /open it, pilot needs to reach controls which I would think move pilot a bit. And heck, after first "whack" on helmet, pilot will learn. ;)
