Seeing models not in my library (T-6 Texan 2)

I keep seeing the T-6 Texan 2 at airports, but it does not appear to be in my library. I only have the vintage T-6.

In 2024 are we being streamed additional airplanes? I thought the T-6 Texan 2 was a 3rd party and we don’t have a 2024 Marketplace yet.

How do you have the “traffic airport quality set” ?
At which airport are you seeing the T-6 Texan 2 ?

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.

How are your Traffic Airport Quality and Air Traffic set ?

Just tested at KLNA, with below settings. I can see a T-6 but not with a custom livery:


Any idea why it’s showing up if it’s not officially in 2024? I know it’s available as a 3rd party in 2020.

I was excited when I saw it and went to find in the aircraft page. :slight_smile:

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. :sweat_smile:

They sure do :sweat_smile:

Spawning again at KLNA I now see the same livery as reported by OP:


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.
