The result is very satisfying without being overkill. Also add bullet life to 9:īack in the 86.lua, extend the effective fire range out to this: Then forget the pipper and use the tracers to see your "hose arc" and dead eye marksman your own solutions. #v0 = 883, for a more realistic muzzle velocity for engaging jets.Īdjust your seat height up several clicks so you can see down over the nose some more Then in the a in the scripts-database-weapons folder, find the M2: Look at the equation and make the changes there. Use an editor like Notepad++ to reduce the barrel heat and warp effect by about 75% in the a. The updated APIT rounds are better but not great. Thanks DCS/Belsimtek! Edited Jby flameoutme

It may not be the belle of the ball, but it will turn some heads still. And its flight model and systems make it a joy to operate. So, let me say in summary, the F-86 is a simpler plane to learn because it is from a simpler, almost "innocent" time. It is, unfortunately, not available on Steam at this time.

You can read the details on "Hunters of the Yula". The other campaign simulates conflict during the korean war. You can read up on it, but whomever crafted the basic story did a great job. The museum relic campaign is BRILLIANT in how it runs a story happening today with a plane from 60-70 years ago. And THAT caused me to not buy the F-86 for a long, long time.īut I am glad I did. Personally, I am not enamored by the title because it caused me not to even look at it for a long, long time. There are two campaigns I know of for the '86. And you can view tutorials made years ago with some confidence that they won't be another frustration recipe. That's just the way things were in the 50's.Īnd that also means that as a pilot your basic skills of holding the airplane on target, and doing the few switches and dials required for flying, defending or attacking are within most people's grasp. The radar system, for example (it has one of sorts), could not be any simpler. Personally, I find it hard to learn the modern airplanes ('tho I enjoy them too), because there's just so much to learn - and when you throw in ongoing changes that don't make their way all the time into updated tutorials - well that's a recipe for frustration. You do have a computer driven pipper (no doubt analog driven), but that's it.īut that's the beauty of it.

The systems are far, far more simple and basic. So you have to learn to finesse it especially at lower speeds which is both doable and a lot of fun.Īs this was a post WWII /50's jet you are not strapped into a flying bullet with electronics that rival the Space Shuttle. Its engine takes time to spool up (apparently, like the real thing). The airbrake"feels right" in its effect as well. For example, after dropping a bomb you'll sense the need to alter the trim. It acts like it has just the right amount of mass. The first reason I love the DCS F-86 is the flight characteristics "feel right". (I feel this throttle is better for VR unless you need multiple sticks). I also use VoiceAttack to supplement my Hotas set up which is the Thrust master Warthog joystick and the Thrust master TWCS throttle. (Could not be simpler to do, BTW, if want to know, ask.). I have a "Buttkicker" and I play radio chatter in the background for immersion. So I don't mean for one minute to imply that if you like other planes better that you are some how mistaken. Simmers come in all sizes and shapes and backgrounds and preferences and skill levels. If you are considering investing time and money in the DCS/ Belsimtek F-86 I hope my comments provide some useful info for consideration. But the F-86 to me is the most enjoyable of all. I own a large number of DCS airplanes (and one helo), and enjoy many of them.
