Cold War Aircraft Archives -

Experience an epic fighter aircraft drag race in DCS World featuring the newly released F-100D Super Sabre! We put some of the fastest military aircraft from the late WWII, Korean War, and early Cold War eras head-to-head in a low-level 5-mile speed challenge to see just how rapidly fighter technology evolved between the 1940s and 1950s.

Competing in this high-speed showdown are legendary aircraft including the F-100D Super Sabre, MiG-21, MiG-19, FW-190 D9 (Focke-Wulf 190 Dora), and Bf 109 K-4. From powerful piston-engine warbirds to early jet fighters and supersonic-era aircraft, this race highlights one of the most dramatic periods of aviation history.

In just 15 years, fighter aircraft top speeds nearly quadrupled. Which aircraft will dominate the drag strip and claim the title of fastest fighter in DCS World?

Today we introduce the F-100D Super Sabre and take a full first look at what this classic Cold War fighter brings to DCS.

In this overview, we explore the aircraft’s additional options, loadout possibilities, cockpit layout, cockpit visuals, external model, sound design, ZELL capability, and basic airfield takeoff and flight handling.

The F-100D is an iconic early supersonic fighter with a distinctive Cold War character, combining raw jet-age power with classic analogue systems and challenging hands-on flying. This introduction gives you a broad look at the aircraft before we begin pushing it further in future missions and tests.

Watch as we walk through the aircraft from setup to takeoff, giving an initial impression of its features, presentation, and flight experience.
