Here is one I saw today. It looks like the C variant. There was another one with a cool shark livery. The Traffic Airport Quality is Ultra. The airport is KLNA. The airport is currently on military lockdown, so I don’t think it’s coming from real time traffic.
I’m curious because I don’t think this airplane is officially available in 2024. At least in the version I have.
Weird, saw some parked at a Burning Blue airfield. I wanted to buy the Blackbird Texan but it is not available anymore, not in the MS Store, any outlets or the developers website. Perhaps MS/Asobo bought the rights to the model for a future release?
I went looking for it too. But I think what we are seeing here is the Iris version.
I just checked the Iris T-6 II in the 2020 Marketplace. While the liveries in the photos are slightly different, they seem close enough. Plus, Blackbird didn’t make the T-6C version.
Not everything in the 2020 Marketplace seems to show in 2024.
Blackbird makes it difficult to purchase their content.
My conclusion:
This is not a 3rd party livery (not exactly the same than the Iris Simulation one) but it is part of the MSFS2024 base static aircraft liveries.
Thanks! I suppose we could dig around in the files to see what’s going on. I’m curious now what static aircraft are in the sim that aren’t part of our aircraft inventory.
If everything in the Marketplace was randomly available as statics, airports would look kind of funny.
