Here are some screenshots from a couple early flights in SNJ-4 N7083C. Flying, and especially landing this thing, it makes me feel like I need a lot of practice. ; )

I wish that A2A would sell the newer planes with Accusim not included,but as an option like before.
I can never afford paying 50$ and i want to have the T-6 so much.
Mike
Very valid point Mike. At least it would open it up to those who would like the airplane but simply aren't head over heels about the "accu-sim" side.

"Very valid point Mike. At least it would open it up to those who would like the airplane but simply aren't head over heels about the "accu-sim" side."

Correct,Ed.
The last plane i was able to get years ago was the Spitfire,which i bought without Acusim.Some weeks later i got the Accusim for this plane,but i never felt happy with Accusim.Simply not my cup of tea.
But to have the plane is nice nonetheless.

We split the Accu-Sim packs from the start, years back for this reason, but there were downsides that started to crop up, including customer confusion. Lewis was also hounding us to make them a single installer from the continued customer support side of things. It was getting more difficult as we grew to keep supporting both Accu-Sim and non-Accu-Sim installs. When we got to the point where 90% of the customers were reaching for Accu-Sim, it was time to simplify the package mainly for supporting the customer. So far, the reliability has continued to rise. We now have almost a 100% reliability, and to give customers a seamless and trouble free experience is paramount. I wish we could have it both ways.

Scott.

So do I. . . .it just seems to be the direction the hobby is headed. More demands for greater detail, system realism, longer development and production times equates to higher prices. I get it.

Just to not rush my purchase and need to buy another thing in the future :encouragement:

Anyone who wants a less expensive T-6, don't forget Wozza's version with John Terrell's repaints and mdl work. These have done me proud for several years. They have a realistic start up sequence and look fantastic!

I have bought the A2A T-6 today and will learn to fly it when I have time. However that time may coincide with the time when I've retired and will only be able to spend maybe $20 a month on flight sim products, so I see both sides of the discussion.

Agree wholeheartedly with that Roger. While I bought the A2A model today and have taken it for a couple of spins.. I've also had Wozza's model out this evening. With John's mod's and paints.. I'll be keeping it alongside the A2A model:encouragement:

No hesitation for me, I planned the buy, I grew up with them, just a part off life, every air show in New Zealand has a Harvard connection been for a rides and course the historical side of it ... one off the big things is the Accusim package that really kicks in, I have my own books and manuals here to read and compare then course you have Hi Res Kermy Kam videos for extra instruction, I don't work as such, this Harvard/Texan was a must for me. :encouragement:

In P3D v3.2 with dynamic reflections on. Had a blast with it! Very proud to pull a three pointer on first try. Having real taildragger experience only in a Supercub, I must say it handles like a hotrod version of it! Gonna spend a lot of time in this beauty!

I thought of the Wozza version too and tend to agree that it is also a very good alternative (Freeware) to the A2A version although it too has all of the nice touches of realism.

I've personally found that the Wozza example flies nothing like the real thing, but as a freeware example is fit for purpose. The A2A version is the definitive flight simulator T-6.

When I linked from ADX to the A2A site, the P3D pro version was highlighted - $80 so it came as almost a relief to find the FSX version was "only" $50. The plane itself flies and sounds like a real round engine but the 'Accusim' stuff is pure "padding" and the model would fly just as well without it.

I received mine this evening via an early birthday gift from a family member (who will obviously get to fly her from time to time ;) . Anyhow, she's stunning and a total joy to fly. The system realism, FDE, model options, and especially the sounds are just perfect. I've always heard that the T-6 was a bit of a bear to land (mainly the post landing phase) but I had no trouble keeping her perfectly lined up in the runway centerline during rollout following procedure. I did some aerobatics, loops and rolls are easy, the snap-roll is a bit tough (as noted in the introduction video) but I was able to perform hammerhead stall turns without too much hassle.

Anyhow, it's a winner and I highly recommend it. Looking forward to the repaints which I'm sure will be plentiful.

March 27th, 2016, 20:14

I'll be getting it, and wouldn't want anything other than an accu-sim version. I guess I can't really understand who wouldn't. I understand price sensitivity, but this plane from A2A without accu-sim just doesn't make any sense to me. I guess it would still be pretty, but A2A just means all the accurately modeled physics of prop, engine, hydraulics, ground handling, etc. that each new plane raises the bar for. Why wouldn't you want those features? These accu-sim planes are as close as you can come to real in a simulation, and isn't that why we fly simulators? For as real as we can get?

For what we get, $50 is a bargain. So just hold off on buying two lesser add-ons and get this one (for a little less than you probably would have spent on those two). You'll be way ahead on the deal that way.

StormILM

March 27th, 2016, 21:06

I wholeheartedly agree griphos. This model looks great and would probably be fine without Accusim but the Wozza T-6 covers that just fine. The addition of Accusim is what makes this model really beautiful and immersive & without Accusim, it would be completely bland. I'm not normally a low-slow flyer who enjoys this sort of model (I prefer hot piston, turboprop, and jet aircraft models with steep learning curves) but this model fills a very unique void in between the high performance aircraft and GA types. It's one you can enjoy long or short scenic flights, lesson to lesson type flights from old USAAF/USAF training syllabus plans, or outright aerobatics. The latter is certainly a bigger challenge with this model.

Bummed to hear there's no non-accusim version. I have several of A2A's warbirds without accusim. Maybe I'm in the minority but not everyone wants the study sim. If it makes business sense for them I can understand their reasoning but I'd like to have the option of buying accusim if and when I want to.

There is a great scenery file for Fantasy of Flight, but I can't remember if I found it here or elsewhere. It includes his Constellation, the PBY, most of the workshops, the water tower and of course the museum itself. Warbirds are fun there, but I particularly like the GAS Robin there! Will have to try this T-6 as well.

He has his painted up as a WASP training aircraft which looks pretty sharp.
I was looking for a historic place to fly and decided to give Avenger field in Sweetwater TX, their training base, a go.
It is a wonder that any of them graduated. In the two days I did flights out of their the wind was never under 15 knots, not always right down an available runway.
I pulled off a 16 knot direct crosswind landing which was actually not my most exciting one of the day. They say a wheel landing is best for crosswind but that has not been my experience so far.

Luckily there is a good checklist posted on the A2A forum.

I have to say, Heron's Nest is challenging enough but then I ran the T-6 off and back on a several times and let's just say, the normal landing technique is OUT THE WINDOW (or better, OFF THE CLIFF!) LOL. I had to plant the tailwheel immediately on touchdown and ride the brakes down the hill with full back pressure on the stick but I manage to stop it safely each time (except the first two runs). Oh, I also recommend 1 notch of flaps for takeoff!

March 30th, 2016, 23:17

Haven't tried Heron's Nest yet but the landing technique that seems to work best for me for short field is a tail low wheeler. This way it does not take long for it to settle. Now I know where I'm going tonight.

Still some more details to add (namely all of the stencils).

Belgian Air Force Harvard H210 as flown by Lt. Baudouin Carpentier de Changy, who was a fighter-pilot flying Hawker Hunter F.6's at the 7th Wing of Chièvres, when he volunteered for duty with the Fire Assistance Flights (FAF) in Belgian Congo. Flying his T-6 4KA, armed Harvard H-210, he managed to rescue his fellow pilot Sgt. Guy De Pypere from the airfield of Matadi-Tshimpi in pure Hollywood-style. He landed in front of the astonished rebels occupying the airfield's tower, to pick up his injured friend who had made a belly landing in the high grass bordering the airfield after being hit by ground fire. Unfortunately de Changy was shot down over the Inkisi bridge a few days later on 17 July 1960 and although he survived an emergency landing, he was killed by the rebels.

A repaint of Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight AT-6 has been uploaded.

From my description: "This repaint depicts AT-6D/AT-6G 49-3311, registered as N3931Y, which is owned/operated by Kermit Weeks at "Fantasy of Flight" in Polk City, FL. This aircraft was originally manufactured as an AT-6D in WWII for the USAAF, but was rebuilt to AT-6G standard in 1949 for the USAF. The aircraft served in the Spanish AF as a "Caza 6", C.6-167, from around 1962 all the way until 1982, serving as both a trainer and a frontline ground support aircraft, with machine guns mounted in the wings and rocket launchers under the wings. Imported into the US in the 80's, and flying on the civil register, the aircraft is painted as a tribute to the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), with the markings of Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas, where they trained. The WASP insignia "Fifinella" is applied to the cowling, which was designed by Disney during the war. This aircraft is one of those which have been covered by Kermit Weeks in his popular "Kermie Cam" flight video series on Youtube."

Well, after plowing through the manual, I certainly got a bit wiser. Yeah, just a bit :pop4:

I finally managed to keep the engine running after it started.

Have not figured out how to operate the flaps in increments, but have finally been able to get airborne without crashing straight into the water.

Wow, the sounds are amazing.

Manfred,

The flaps are typical hydraulic style for this era, in that you have three positions. Up, neutral (locked), and down. So if you want to drop the flaps a little, move the flap lever down for a few seconds, then neutral to lock.

However, for me personally when flying the real T-6, I never use incremental flaps. Once you slow to bring the gear down, you can then just drop flaps full down and bring her right in. Then all you are working with is the throttle to control your descent. You can bring it down very fast by just pulling back the throttle or flatten out the approach with power.

Thank You John for the FoF Kermit Weeks AT-6D!! One of my very Favorite Flying examples. An airframe that tells a story. A lot like "Double Vee," it is a flying History lesson for what it represents.

If you have flaps mapped to your joystick.. one button for down, the other for up.. hit the down button twice (once to unlock it, the other to start it moving) while keeping an eye on the flap indicator. When it reaches the desired position, hit the up button once to stop it;)

That is sure a beautiful scheme!! That one and N45CK are my very favorite SNJ's for the way they shine. I'm trying hard to remember the SNJ that was at Oshkosh a few years back that had the Tail-hook on it and was restored to an amazing level of detail?? I've searched my pictures and just can't find it. I was thinking Midwest Texans had done it but I may be wrong??

Bomber_12th

April 2nd, 2016, 20:04

Jim, it depends on which one in particular you're thinking of. There have been two Oshkosh award-winning SNJ-5C restorations, with the full tailhook/tailwheel guard setup, in recent years - one is the overall yellow N518WW, which was restored by Midwest Texans, and the other is the overall glossy sea blue N5615C, which was restored by Chuck Wahl (one of the most authentic Texans flying today). Both have been Oshkosh regulars. I of course would love to do both of these schemes (and several dozen more...).

(Speaking of Chuck Wahl, his warbird restoration company, Vulture's Row Aviation, have been restoring an original Navy SBD-4 Dauntless, an original Navy SB2C-1A Helldiver, and an original Marine F4U-1 birdcage Corsair, all to airworthy and all sure to be award-winners. There are some rumors that the SBD, which is nearing completion, will be at Oshkosh this year.)

When I noticed this one incoming on announcement I simply put a little away each week, you can still buy the Virtavia/Alphasim sim model which for its time is good but ever since 'Accusim' was invented , It really add's a new dimension, lotta people are just Ctrl+E so the Virtavia/Alphasim would be your market, myself I grew up around the Harvard , knew one pilot personally in the and tho know many others in the RNZAF who trained and fixed them so it was a definite, ...... biggest thing yud spend hours alone just in your home town airfield circuit .... how many people here buy an aircraft spending quite a few dollars and never really use it , I'm guilty of that but the question of cost is relevant to the whats built into it and dynamics .... I'd just save a little , You will be very happy with this one, Trust me! :angel:

April 4th, 2016, 10:52

Manfred,

One thing I forgot to mention is, if you want to make a short field takeoff, then you will want to use some flaps, up to 20 degrees. Watch the flaps indicator on the lower left of the console to know where they are positioned.

For flaps, you can just use your F7 and F8 keys. So if you want to lower them, just hit the F8 a few times (to guarantee the lever is down), watch the indicator and hit F7 when you want them to stop.

Not quite, as that would have been a BT-14 with a Wright engine and fixed gear, BUT if the French had taken delivery of the Harvard IIs that they had ordered from the Americans before the Armistice then by all means the airframe could have looked just as if it was shown here. Far more plausible than most other Luftwaffe schemed T-6s.

T-6 was probably the most used "attack" plane in colonial Portuguese wars in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau from 1961 to 1974. Think some of the armament was improvised. This one is beautifull restored and can be seen in Portuguese Air Force Museum near Sintra.

Jan Kees, thank you for the Italian paint! I hope that you'll do some more AMI birds. it's a pity that A2A did only the G restored version, I don't think it should have been a big effort to add at least an Harvard
version with no-modern panel ( being a so expensive addon!!!). IMHO we have a big product, BUT the story and the fame of this aircraft wasn't made by RESTORED planes with a nice girl in the rear seat
instead of a tough flight instructor. I'll repeat : A2A did a great job, I bought it the same day of the release and I hope that Mister Scott will consider an extension to this product covering at least the Harvard
and the Texan with old-style panel.

Does anyone know if the gray paint scheme that is on the MAAM Texan is correct for an SNJ or is it more of an imitation of an SBD?

Bomber_12th

Does anyone know if the gray paint scheme that is on the MAAM Texan is correct for an SNJ or is it more of an imitation of an SBD?

For those that know more than me, correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe it is an authentic SNJ mainland coastal patrol paint scheme (I believe the "NATC" on the tail stands for "Naval Air Training Command", thus based State-side). It is perhaps the only WWII-era configured/painted SNJ/T-6 flying today, that I'm aware of, which has bombs mounted below the wings to the stock WWII-era bomb mount positions.

Thank you Ryan! Yes, she lives at the Flying Cloud airport in Eden Prairie. It is one of the number of Texans based around the Twin Cities that I see quite often through the summer, either at the airport or over the house. When not flying, it is on long-term loan to the Wings of the North Museum, so it can be seen during museum hours, up-close. The owner is Paul Ehlen, the same guy who owns the most accurate/authentic flying P-51, "Sierra Sue II", and the most accurate/authentic flying N2S Stearman (the George Bush Stearman) - both also can be seen at the Wings of the North Museum. (The late Gerry Beck's F4U-4 Corsair is also due to be based/flown from Flying Cloud, on loan to Wings of the North, starting this spring, as soon as its IRAN (inspection/repair work) is finished.)

Good knowledge there. My friend works as a controller at FCM... he transferred out of Duluth a little while back... I'm still here though! I can't recall if that T6 has ever made it up to DLH but I'll keep my eye out!

My "Craig Field" repaint is the last that I will be releasing in the immediate future, as I'm working on a set of period-inspired warbird cockpit textures for the A2A Texan as well, based on some of the restorations I'm familiar with/have covered, which have modern gauges that have been re-faced to look of the period (a bit different/alternative direction than Stiz's work). I'll be releasing some updates of my existing repaints with the VC texture mods when they are finished/released.
