Well I finaly got a somewhat modern aircraft mod in the form of CFS3 Korea. I am just wondering about one or two things in the flight model of the F-86. Is it me or does the thing not want to slow down and bleed off air speed? In one mission I shot the MiG down but got damaged from flak and lost all my fuel. I still glided for several minutes quite easily and made a rough but safe landing. I was gliding at about 210 kias and only loosing a few feet per second. In fact, I came in too fast because I had no flaps and had to go around again, without power. It's nice that I made it back and all but this hardly seems realistic. Can anything be done about this? Is there something in the aircraft .cfg file that can be altered to change it so it bleeds off air speed faster? Another thing is that the MiG can almost always out turn me at any altitude. If I am turning into him as he goes by me, I should be able to come up behind him. But he will almost always be able to magicaly turn 180 degrees and be coming right back at me before I can do this. Everything I have ever read about the F-86 says they were more manuverable than the MiG especially at lower altitudes.
