Thanks a lot KB.

ATM having the most jet fun with Jeronimo#s newly meshed F-84 cockpit and his outside 3D fix in UP 2.01.
Panthers are also cool jets!

Will check the FX later, atm I work on downgrading my MA 5.3 install (way too many mods).

Cheers

Sounds nice T, link?  I'll have a crack at getting it working for 4.09 modact...

Companion Panthers and Skyraiders for Tom's F-86 moved to new thread, so as not to hijack Tom's F-86 thread any further.  See here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,48860.0.html

Cheers all, special thanx to Tom for inspiring my interest in 4.09 flying all over again!

I thought Jero's threads were common duty for SAS chaps.

Will post a little update to these pits later this month.

[SAS~Tom2]

Small update for Sabres, only red cockpit gauges..

Screen from IES 3



Also added a panel with alpha channel back in, to avoid issues.

Greybeard offers some constructive criticism and is hereby welcomed to post any finding and/or improvement or simply discussion material for interested users and modders, not the first time I regret I cannot work code.

Hi Tom!

Thanks again for this detailed review of Sabre cockpit (and more). I had reason to download and install only now and especially appreciated the rearview mirror for its exactly historical placement. Couldn't believe to my eyes when, opening canopy, I saw it sliding backward! I could have bet it was more easily fixed to the top of windscreen frame...

Nevertheless, I would point out that Freddy's cockpit lacks a Shift+F1 view. I extracted and applied the relevant settings from DBW. Here follow the modified Body86.msh:

It includes a raised POV. This latter has the inconvenience to bring reticle outside of the gunsight glass:



If you don't like the raised POV, just delete row containing CAMERAUP <BASE> and third line of [HookLoc].

Thank you for the body mesh mod and your feedback via pm as well.
The credit for the mirror model of course went and goes to Jeronimo. I only had to adjust it on the cockpit..and put some additional pieces together, a.o. from cromhunt. Never gave up hope Freddy one day came back and added a few "never seen in any sim" extras.

As promised, if all family issues go fine I will check this out tomorrow.

Today I am on F-80 and P-38 "diet".
Best Regards

Thorsten

Here an additional mod, thanks to greybeard for pointing it out and to SAS~Epervier for reworking the code:

New hydraulics code for the flaps and airbrake position on takeoff and hyd pressure gauge functional now in the 3D pit:

Before:










After





Gauge spooling up






The mod:
https://www.mediafire.com/download/a7o0wc86tvilnzj/F-86_Fix.7z


..keep one thing in mind: Use the slatted 3D mod from page One as the non slatted 6-3 wing aka the wing with the fence will show the error as on above screenies, the non slat wing of course will not move downwards.
 Other than that, no objections..

Cheers

Hope the timing of the mod will ease the Italian chap's frust a tad wrt to the very close Football match today where both teams played great. My regards to the Italian team, even as non soccer fan I admit they played outstanding.
