The planes in this update will be found under manufacturer: REPUBLIC
There will be a choise between a version with or without wingtanks
Because of the limited endurance of the F84F, the Belgian Air Force flew with wingtanks whenever possible
Panel update:
-------------
The original panel has been altered to include a VOR2 and a ADF instrument
Also were the included radios replaced by some a little bit more contemporary
Flight profile update:
-----------------------
As the profile that came with the zipfile originated in the FS98 or FS2000 era
it didn't fly very well in the FS2002
Therefore the profile has been altered to fit the flightcaracteristics of the real F-84F as close
as momentarily possible.
Auto-effects
------------
Automatic exhaustsmoke will be generated at RPM's over 70%
Contrails will be generated at speeds between 120 and 210 Knots
