This is an update for FSX of the F-86a by KIRK OLSSON.  I want to apologize for not checking everything out before my last update of this aircraft, and ask that the webmaster remove my last update for this aircraft.  While the aircraft worked as advertised, I did not realize how the changes I made affected things like the ability of the aircraft to side slip to lose altitude or crab into the wind on a crosswind landing.  That is why it is called dynamics, change something and something else is affected.  As now corrected you can side slip if you want or need to. This is the whole aircraft.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft to the FSX airplanes folder.  Copy the gauges and effect to the main FS gauges and effects folders.  No need to overwrite anything already there.

The gauges for the old panel are in the old panel, so if you want to use the new 2D panel and the VC, you will need to copy the gauges from the old panel to the main FS gauges folder.

To use the old panel you need to remove the f86 from the panel= line of any of the paints you want to use the old panel with.

The drop tanks can be toggled, there or not there, by the tail hook key(s).

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed= 110.00
full_flaps_stall_speed= 98.20
cruise_speed= 450.00			//252 knots indicated at 38,000 ft.
max_indicated_speed=675.00
max_mach=1.00
max_level_speed=605			//knots indicated at sea level

The above speeds will put you in the ball park of what the aircraft will do performance wise.  They can also be found in the aircraft.cfg file.

Anyone:  You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions:  One, you don't try to make money with them.  Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
