This is an update for FSX of the F-100F Super Sabre by Kazunori Ito, and repainted by Mark Rooks.  I have updated the flight dynamics, you can now descend at 2000 ft vertical on the VSI while maintaining a reasonable speed as set on the autopilot; see read me.  I changed the position of the GPS, and made a few other tweaks.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft to the main FS airplanes folder.  Copy the effects to the main FS effects folder.  No need to overwirte anything already there.

If you have not already done so, copy the .cab files from the default aircraft panel folders that have them to the main FS gauges folder.  For some the .cab files will be .zip files as .cab files are a type of .zip file.  Default aircraft are the ones that came with the simulator.

BIG TIP: IT SEEMS THAT RECORD 1504 IN THE AIR FILE IS THE ONE THAT CONTROLS WHETHER THE ENGINE(S) OVERSPEED ON DECENT.  I USED THE SAME 1504 FILE AS THE ONE IN THIS UPDATE ON THE DEFAULT B737-400 FROM FS9 AND IT CURED THE PROBLEM OF GAINING A LOT OF SPEED WHILE DECENDING AT 1800 FEET PER MINUTE.  THIS SHOULD WORK WITH MOST, IF NOT ALL, AIRCRAFT YOU HAVE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM OF GAINING TOO MUCH SPEED DURING DECENT ON AUTOPILOT.  THIS WAS TESTED AT BOTH 220 AND 280 SET IN THE AUTOPILOT SPEED WINDOW.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=115.00
full_flaps_stall_speed=95.00
cruise_speed=514.00		//knots over the ground at 40,000 ft. (280 indicated)
max_indicated_speed=980.00
max_mach=1.50
max_level_speed=766 (mach 1.33)	//at 35,000 ft. (480 indicated)

The above is for quick reference to the flight envelope.

This aircraft has more range than it is supposed to, but to me that is a plus.  I did not try to find out what is a normal fuel load for the aircraft, with, or without, the underwing tanks.

There is a tail hook on the aircraft but as far as I can tell it is not animated.  If it is, and you know how to have it work, please share with the rest of us.

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.
