Nice screenshots of such an ugly plane. The inside of the cockpit looks good though smile

Is it just guns at the moment?

In the earlier shots I noticed the pilot wearing that green helmet. I mentioned, in a post, that maybe someone can paint that helmet white. I see that the helmet is white, now. Are they listening!?
Really, though, beautiful shots.

Ahh this looks amazing. I will probably be getting it regardless, just because I love the F-86 Sabre jets so much, but I will ask anyway. How is the AI in combat? Do the enemy Mig 15s put up a good fight and really make you work for it?

I don't mind if they occasionally make bone headed mistakes, because that sort of stuff happens in war. But do they also fly to their planes strengths more often and make you really work hard for the kill most of the time? If the AI is good, it's a must buy for me.

And a few more from tonight's online flying:


Ready for take-off!



Close formation



Buggy landing lights



Our big friends are in touble: flak!



Good news: they stopped shooting at the bombers. Bad news: they shoot at us now.



Lovely morning #1



Lovely morning #2



Oh-oh... those contrails suddenly turning towards our bombers are up to no good...



Say hello to Mr. Mig



Business end of the Sabre



"...late afternoon the Air Tasking Order came in [and] we found the A-10 part and we said, "We are going where!? We are doing what!?"
