I’m still working on the USAF planes but I’ve decided to just do all of them in one job lot now seeing as I’m on a roll so it might take a bit longer for the ingame pics. For now tho here is a preview of my favourite US plane the F-86 Sabre!

The Jugg is quite simply my favorite
You know, it's kind of odd. The Russians will get the Mig-15 which is build around a copy of a Rolls-Royce "Nene" engine, which they didn't get after WW2.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Andre 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

Godwin once told me a great place to get little decals for skins was from scans of stickers/heat-stickers meant for plastic models. If you didn't know that, it would be a good place to look.

BTW,(sorry for off topic), anyone like to talk a little about Saber VS MiG15 and their performence in Korea? I've read some from the offical or famous websites of US, but feel a little confused. I just want some westen ppl's views.
PS: so far as I know, MiG15 is far more than a copy of the Fw-183 with a British engine. tho seems alike, the aviation functions are much different

Oh BTW I should point out that the wings of the F-86 are a copy of a German design too, there from the Me-P1101 I think.

Here is my view:
I personally think MiG15 is something between a fighter and a intercepter, while Saber has some more fighter-bomber protential. And neither Soviet nor Chinese nor N.Korea pilot were experienced as their opponents, in most cases. So with lower skilled pilot MiG15s caused some big threat to the bombers but didn't match Sabers in a dogfight.
But I'd go Saber in combat (tho MiG looks tougher IMO ) coz the hit chance of .50*6 will be much better than 23mm*2 and 37mm, at least for an unexperienced one like me
Thx about that TA183 page. But there are still lots differences between MiG and TA. TA and Saber shared a "thin wing" while MiG still use an old style thick one; TA's rear fin is almost simplly for balance but MiG's is much more for vertical control; MiG has 2 pairs of "wind spliter" on the wing while Saber use a wing crevice but TA has nothing.
Sure MiG15 is influenced much by TA183 but call it a copy is unfair to the MiG Bureau, as well as unfair to North America.
If there is anything wrong plz tell me, thx again .
