This is an update for FSX of the F-86H Sabre by A.F.Scrub.  I added a hud and a nav/GPS switch to the 2D panel and resized the GPS.  The hud could not be placed correct on the VC.  I updated the flight dynamics and added a centre tank to the aircraft.cfg file.  This is the whole aircraft.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft to the main airplanes folder.  If you already have the aircraft, you might want to back it up in case you don't like the update.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=130.00
full_flaps_stall_speed=104.00
cruise_speed=485.00			//knots over the ground at 36,000 ft. (288 indicated)
max_indicated_speed=700.00
max_mach=1.00
max_level_speed=609.00			//knots over the ground at sea level.

To get the 288 indicated at 36,000 ft. you set the throttle so the N1 gauge reads just under 80% after you level out at 36,000 ft.  Climb to altitude can be done at 60 to 70% N1.  That is just a guide.  Do what ever you want for the climb.  As far as I know, your life won't depend on what you do in the simulator.

For those that don't already know: the ground speed can be read in the lower left corner of the GPS.  Also note that at low altitude, below 5,500 ft. the GPS does not seem to read the correct ground speed.

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.
