Version History

This model was developed using the official USAF 1T-6A-1 Flight Manual and SNFO (Student Naval Flight Officer) P-880 Aircraft Systems explanatory guide.

Version 12 now available (XP11 version still available)

Two default liveries, USAF and U.S. Navy TAW-5.

30 (!) additional liveries will be available on the X-Plane.org freeware download manager.

This is the T-6A model with federated (many small units combined into one system) glass display panels.

The project has been in development since February 23, 2020 and is our most detailed model to date.

The Model

High quality 3D model with high-resolution, 4K PBR textures.
Fully functional virtual front and rear 3D cockpits with more than 380 control manipulators. Everything works, fly from either cockpit.
Both pilot and instructor models visible in cockpit views.
Optimized to save FPS in VR.
Ground equipment.

The Flight model

Fully aerobatic, high performance dynamic flight model tested and approved by several former T-6A pilots.
Single “Power Lever” control of engine and propeller enables "jet like" simplicity.
Unique T-6 Trim Aid Device (TAD) is accurately modeled. This compensates for most engine torque effect with automatic rudder trim.

Sounds

Professional FMOD sound package by SimAccoustics

Version XP12 (March 1st 2023)

new XP12 version

Version 1.1 (December 6th 2022)

1. FIRE 1 can now be tested with only the Aux Battery switch ON for ";over the rail"; checks.
2. Increased available elevator pitch trim after US Marine Corp pilot feedback, which led to the need for...
3. Revised takeoff trim settings for engine running start and optional TRIM annunciator.
4. Robust low speed flight model improvements for more accurate performance in approach and stall speed ranges, as a result of ...
5. New custom Pilatus airfoils with optimized high and lo Reynolds numbers versions, which led to the need for ...
5. Recalibrated Electronic Air Speed Indicator (EASI) for improved accuracy throughout the needle's sweep range, which led to the need for ...
6. Revised T-6A User Guide has additional information for flying different approach and landing methods (Air Speed or AOA), which resulted in ...
7. Default AOA indexer colors are now the US Navy style green, yellow, red from top to bottom.

Note: "Navy style"; AOA approaches are flown from ";behind the power curve"; so the aircraft nose is decidedly nose high during the approach compared to Air Force style approaches flown referencing airspeeds. When behind the power curve aircraft rate of descent is controlled with power.

Note: With Options ON you get an enhanced Air Force style red, green, yellow top to bottom indexer. This eliminates the need to manually edit a script file to choose an indexer style, though if you want the enhanced version as your default you can edit aoa_indexer.lua script; lines 100 and 215. Line 100 edit if(get(as_switch,16)==0) and make it ==1, and line 215 edit if(get(as_switch,16)==1) and make it ==0 8. AOA indexer left to right twist rotation increased from 45 to 180 deg. It was 6 oclock to 4:30, now it twists from 9 oclock to 3 oclock.Note: the AOA indexer is twisted all the way left or right before formation flight to gauge distance on the flight lead during join up. Ref AETC MAN 11-248, Table 9.3 Range Estimation.

9. High altitude, max speed flight model improved by increasing engine critical altitude from 16,000 to 17,500 ft MSL.

10. Based on further pilot feedback, slightly increased propeller minimum pitch in order slightly reduce airborne idle prop drag and ...
11. Implemented ground (60%) and flight (67%) idle modes as per 1T-6A-1 Flight Manual to improve ground taxi and approach handling characteristics.

12. Re-coded the ";tad"; lua script to enable pilot rudder trim input AND dynamic rudder trim compensation by the TAD correction formula.
Note: See 1T-6A-1, page 1-43 TRIM AID DEVICE (TAD)

Finally, there are now over 28 additional liveries available on the X-Plane.org freeware download manager under:
