Hi folks!


The F-86F Sabre guide got a brand new remaster. It was one of these "legacy" guides that was gathering a lot of dust and that wasn't up to snuff with the current library. Therefore, I standardized the formatting, cleaned up a few sections and significantly expanded some sections like the one for the Powerplant and Fuel Systems. I added an intro, added a proper profile for control bindings, expanded the cockpit description, added a few pretty pictures, added better explanations for the A-4 gunsight and most important of all... I feel better having done this. The page count went from 91 to 150+ pages.

***

The MiG-15bis guide also had a similar treatment I also added in bonus a bunch of missing items such as the engine air start procedure, fire extinguisher system... I'll spare you the details, you can look it up and see for yourself. I do hope that one day, we get a bigger era-appropriate playground to fly these birds in. Korean War theater when? Oh, and... the page count went from 91 to 140+ pages.


*** 


But wait... there's more! Here are a few other guides that got updated during the holidays.

  • AH-64D Apache: First revision pass to fix typos, errors and inaccuracies.
  • Spitfire Mk IX: Added beer kegs (because... beer?)
  • I-16 Ishak: Updated cockpit
  • F-5E3 Tiger II: Added some missing bombing profiles.
  • JF-17 Thunder: Added configuration panel (new ground crew interface).
  • AV-8B Harrier: Added new logic for QA (Quick Access) Menu when changing between steerpoint types
  • Mirage 2000C: Added information on radar emission channels and fixed some inaccuracies
  • F/A-18C Hornet: Added ADM-141A TALDs (Tactical Air Launched Decoys), removed Snowplow mode from ATFLIR pod, fixed a few errors
  • DH.98 Mosquito: Added low level bombing and delayed fuzes.

I'm pretty sure @giullep was only "asking", not "complaining" 😉

I didn't said that he was complaining .. I was just amazed that instead of enjoy what has been given, he prefers to ask for something else. 🤔

As of now, my priorities in order of importance are:

  1. Complete the Mi-24P update 
  2. Add Black Shark III features and give the Ka-50 guide some much needed love
  3. Perform the Viper update

@Rudel_chwI can't wait to start working on the Mirage F1 once I'm done with the Viper update.

Good to know!

I hope the Mb-339 will come next... 😝

Although I am fully depended on this guides to get airborne in any aircraft, I honestly think, you should take a vacation break or slow down a bit. Seriously, the amount of content updates on old guides since the Apache guide release is overwhelming. I am worried you might get burned out at some point and l can't have that happen, since I am totally depended on you work as I mentioned. 😅 Be assured as one of your patreons, I haven't stopped support during the months of making the Apache guide and won't in the future. 👍
