Announcing SectionF8 Design Group

Posted on
In between my work as a developer for MAAM-Sim I have been working on a pet project of my own too. It concerns the F-86 Sabre. Been working on it off and on for about two years with help of a couple of my FS developer friends.
Hansjorg Naegele of 'VNConnie Panel' fame, who did all the custom gauges and additional XML programming, RealAir's Rob Young taking good care of the flight dynamics, and Jan Rosenberg doing his magic in the special FX department. During the process we got help in the flight model department from two retired RW pilots, Cliff Presley and Dudley Henriques, well known for his wonderful tutorials about flying 'hot props and jets' in FS.

We have finally arrived at a 'Gold' model and I have just put a web site aka PR, dedicated to our freeware Sabre Project, on line. We have called our small development team 'SECTIONF8' and this F-86E and F type Sabre is the first product of what we hope to be an ongoing project to produce just about every type and derivative that has ever been developed from the F-86, including the F-86D Sabre Dog and sea going FJ-2,3 and 4 Fury.

This initial branch of our F-86 Sabre tree is ment to be for FS2004 only. A native FSX version will be in the works eventually too.

Interested people can download the Flight Manual and view the reference doc, as well as view a truckload of screenies.

I hope to upload our pet F-86 Sabre puppy, Cadillac of the Skies, to the FlightSim.Com library sometime during the next week.

Best Regards,
Jan Visser
