I have just flown it. Incredible realism! I am now going to need to study hard to understand this beauty. The external flight model is something else!

Can people stop releasing fabulous looking aircraft!! It’s costing me a small fortune!

Flew it a bunch of times last night. Love the flight model and realism ‘feel’ of this aircraft - it has a great realistic impression of an aircraft going through the air - great character in flight already.

Also has fantastic interior cockpit that adds to the realism. Hit another one out of the park - definitely up there in quality and realism like the 310R. Has a Comanche kind of ‘life’ to it. So far highly recommended!

Will they do a T6B also ?

Study or toy?

The T6A? I reckon study given it’s simulation heritage with USAF and Nato.

How is the turboprop behavior modeling?

That’s always seemed to be an issue with MSFS, so far.

Just bought it but it does not appear in msfs :-(((
Waiting for help in their support forum…

Did you follow their Installation TIps? Just curious, I’ve not pulled the trigger yet.

make sure do not filter for t6 or texan - filter for t-6 or blackbird

From what I can see, they use a lot of custom coding via wasm code. You can have failures and destroy the engine with mishandling it. If it includes custom ITT simulation i cant say for sure, cause the wasm code ist hard to decode for me.

That sounds really promising!

It looks like a fairly serious representation - and the user experience appears to be fully scalable to the point of basic or essential functionality only.
It’s a bit pricey for me but I think in this case anyway you are getting value for the money.
It’ll have to be wish listed for me until I can recharge the ol’ bank account.
I’m grateful though, for the developers that push the envelope and make amazing products for MSFS.

Problem solved.
I had to install it at the root on the disk and not in a folder and then copy it in Community.

Made a short fly and so far so good :slight_smile:

Does anyone else have problems to get the speed brake out?

On 9 out of 10 of my landings in this thing, it pitches itself up to a level attitude at about 20 feet, then I have to react and just land the thing normally. I’ve tried it with TAD on and off. Anybody else have this issue?

Edit: I watched AvAngel’s movie above. At 18:00–while landing–her airplane did the same thing.

Picked it up on a whim as it looks gorgeous; have started going through the manual. This isn’t one I’m going to just jump into the cockpit; it seems a rather complex/detailed simulation (yay! but i must read the docs to not break it :wink: )

It seems to handle controls in a custom way too? I’m going to have to double-check how my bindings work before I get going. :smiley:
