Based on the screenshots they have this thing is gonna set a whole new standard in freeware! That's the most realistic looking exterior textures I've ever seen in ANY sim or game! And this things gonna be free??!!

I see FEX clouds there though...

I never thought I'd see anyone make a better Sabre than Kirk. WOW, can't wait!

Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for the heads up on this one.

As a beta-tester for sectionf8, I can say authoritatively that it will not only be better, It'll drop-kick all its competitors out the window, payware or freeware!
I'd post some more shots, but I am at school and away from my FS machine.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see the manual for this? Can't wait!!!

Hi everyone.

In case someone hasn't heard yet, the files are up at Avsim
Beautiful model by the way. And the engine sounds are quite spot on.
I don't have anything installed that really compares to this one. It is better than many payware planes, seriously!

Who needs payware with freeware like this!!!! My hats off to the fine people who created this beautiful piece of work!!

Be CAREFULL with the ejection handle! The nozzle flames are first rate too. I have yet to find anything I DON'T like about it. FIRST RATE ALL THE WAY!

Now, if only we could get them to upload it here at the "V", so folks won't have to get it from the competition!

**EDIT**

Another nice touch, is the fact that if you are in the cockpit with the engine running, and you open the canopy, you're able to hear the engine noise from both inside AND outside. Closing the canopy eliminates the exterior sound again. (As it would be IRL)

This should truely have been payware!

Simply awesome! Im using it in FSX SP2/Accel, and the only issue I've seen so far is the vc glass problem that you see with many FS9 to FSX aircraft have. But the level of detail in this is amazing. Would have paid for this one to be honest! Bow down to it being freeware!

Awesome plane. I'm also using FSX/Accel SP2 and besides the canopy problem from inside, Im having a problem with the landing gear not retracting fully. Wheels go up but the doors remain open. 

Any ideas?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that had that happen! Talk about real!
The Connie will do that also with the gear and the flaps! Freeware is truly blessed here recently! Lucky for us, not so for the payware people. There must have been some kind of payware developer revolt that we haven't been made aware of yet!
