    T-37B Tweet for Prepar3D v4 released (finally)!

    We are proud to present the T-37B Tweet for Prepar3D v4!

    Making use of the latest features available in the sim, the Tweet is the culmination of three years of systems and graphics developement. From PBR materials and custom animations, to deep systems and realistic flight dynamics, the SWS team has strived to bring the Tweet back into service!

    A trainer both in reality and in the sim, the Tweet is easy to operate and fly. Whether you are a hardcore simmer who wants to fly according to the Dash 1, or a casual flyer who just wants a quick hop, the SWS Tweet will cater to both sides of the spectrum!

    Features:
    • High detail exterior and interior model, including animated 3D pilots
    • Five liveries using 4k PBR textures
    • Realistic systems simulation, built according to the real aircraft manual
    • High fidelity flight model, tested by real T-37 pilots
    • Adjustable night lighting making use of dynamic lights and PBR material


    The T-37B Tweet is available on SimWorks Studios for 35.99€. Click here to be taken to our store page!

    Man, I’m going to have a lot of new planes to fly when I return from vacation, including this one. Thanks for the heads up, I’ve been looking forward to the T-37 for a long time now.

    Oh yeah! Been waiting for this one. .

    Might have to wait for next weeks paycheck, but this one definitely on my "to get" list.

    Just got it right after this post. It's a beauty! It's well coded and thought out, one of the better small military type jets for P3Dv4. It is a bit of a challenge to fly, not steep but you have to pay close attention to your speeds and throttle settings in high drag config for approach and landing. it takes considerable fineness on the controls and throttle to stay in the groove on glideslope. In other words, it's easy to get ahead or behind the power curve. I really like the depth of the flight dynamics, especially when you are flying solo at you have to trim and compensate for the weight asymmetry on the left side. You will learn a good bit from flying this model as it seems pretty well tuned to how the real Tweet flies according to it's manual. Worth every penny!

    Well done Simworks !

    My impression from the pilots' feedback is that the real Tweet's engines were a bit behind the power curve by default... I'm surprised they got that thing to fly with the extra weight added in the A-37!

    2050lbs of thrust vs 5700lbs (combined both engines). But the MTOW difference between the two is massive, 6,574 lb (T-37) vs 14,000 for the A-37 plus the parasitic drag of the A-37's tip tanks and stores (where the T-37 was pretty clean aerodynamically). I figure if the T-37 had J85 engines, it would have been quite a blast to fly.

    I was going to get it anyway, but that helps affirm the decision. I have an old T-37 in-flight guide somewhere given to me in high school AFJROTC, need to find. My P3D mil trainer ramp is almost complete.

    I gotta tell, being On The Hill with my PC out of action most of December and it taking time to get back into action with P3D and DCS, I jump into this T-37B sim and I felt pretty rusty at first but the way they have it put together, it made me work and focus harder, knock off the rust. Scary how perishable fine skills go bad in such a short period of time but now after running touch and go circuits with this model, I'm getting my feel back and appreciate the level of simulation in models like this one. Also of note for me, this thing reminds me of my days in primary training with real Cessna 150's and 172's, the general simplicity in the flight flows albeit this has two jet engines to manage. Otherwise, you just spread your wings and fly it. In a word, FUN!

    is there a paintkit for it? and will there be an A-37?
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    Your download speeds are pitiful, and no resume. Really ? 390 Kbs, is ridiculous.

    Really? Here in South Africa I jump for joy when I see that kind of speed.

    It's fun after I got it installed correctly, kept CTD until I read up on the add-on.cfg format issues. I spun it (on purpose) and to the left was great, but the right spin not so much. The IP looking at me when I was looking to the right got weird after awhile. I can see why the change to the T-6A for the JPATS program, she is not fast.

    Yes, that's a problem that is known about - it's already on the list of minor fixes.

    "I can see why the change to the T-6A for the JPATS program, she is not fast."

    Yeah, it was slow but in general it was safe and simple and an upgrade from the old T-33 with it's side by side cockpit. It was a good bridge from primary trainers to the T-38 and T-39. I heard it said more than once that if the UPT student wasn't cutting it in the T-37, they absolutely were going to wash out because a marginal skilled student in a T-37 would get killed trying to stay ahead of a T-38 or T-39.

    This airplane is INCREDIBLE. Hoping you release a bare metal paint kit (hankering for a stock 1960's, all bare metal ATC machine. minus the day-glo, and with the ATC badge on the tail). Ultimately would also love to see you do the T-37C with provisions for tip tanks...and of course the A-37 would be a real cherry on top of the cake...but I realize it is SO different, it is probably too much to hope for!

    The quality of SWS products just keeps improving by leaps and bounds. LOVE what you are doing.

    Finally! Just made an account on your store and will purchase the Tweet in a minute
    One slight OT question: Is it possible to switch over an old F-4B/N Phantom purchase (made July 2016) into your new store / my new account?

  17. #17
    The T-37C is in the works, along with a quite a few aircraft of the same era aimed for this year. We'll be announcing it "officially" this Friday.

    Still enjoying the T-37 immensely, but am wondering if I have a bad install (despite downloading and installing as Administrator with AV disabled). I am experiencing the following issues:

    - Fuel quantity gauge inop (to include fuel quantity light test)
    - Trim seems to be inop (not able to trim into level flight)
    - VC throttles do not move in concert with Joystick throttle
    - Speedbrake only works from switch on VC throttle...no “/“ key functionality

    ...other than that...this baby is wonderful. I am thinking of trying an uninstall/reinstall...any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Kent

    Created an account to buy this bird, but apparently the confirmation mail is not an automatic process. It takes ages...

    Priller,

    I had the EXACT same thing happen to me when I used my personal (@me.com) mail. I got no confirmation e-mail. After an hour, I gave up and re-registered with my business e-mail, and nearly instantaneously received the confirmation e-mail. So from this I conclude that a.) the confirmation e-mail is automated, and b.) it didn’t like my Apple e-mail domain...

    Some e-mails get bounced for some reason we don't know yet. I'll activate your accounts manually and you should be good. No confirmation will be received.

    Kent, regarding the trim/throttle/speedbrake issues, we haven't encountered these. Do you use FSUIPC for your assignments? If so, Jonathan Bleeker posted about setting it up it earlier today on this forum. We will be testing his advice soon.

    In any case, please log a ticket through our support page and we will make it work one way or another.

    Thanks for the pointer Kent, I prefer to keep things seperated. My professional mail is exactly that, professional. I should not and will not use it for personal things.

    Just FYI: my email is the account that came with my ISP subscription. It is official and cannot be spoofed.

    It's not the customer who should adapt to the supplier, it is the supplier who should service the customer. The customer is supposed to be king.

    Not using FSUIPC...I will submit a ticket if need be, but before I do, I’m going to 1.) see if a restart solves the problem, but if it doesn’t, 2.) again disable AV, download a new installer, uninstall my current install, then reinstall the newly downloaded version...then turn AV back on to see if it helps.

    If those don’t work, I’ll submit a ticket.

    Thanks,

    Kent

    In the meantime I'm downloading. Not receiving the emails is a bit of a drag, but I can live with that. It just means that I'll have to check on the site to see if there are updates.

    Thanks Sir_Ripper!

    Edit: got it and the downloadspeeds are quite a bit better than reported in previous posts!

    Thanks for the HU Kent. Also, please make sure P3D is ran as administrator.

    @Priller, each ISP has their own whitelist/blacklist of e-mails. While we generally score well, some don't like us and we need to get in touch with each ISP that doesn't. So far you're in the unlucky 3.5%, but we'll cover the ground gradually. It is frustrating when it happens, indeed.
