Scott posted this at A2A. It looks beautifulSupersonic flight and jet engine complexity have proven difficult for accusim development hence the F-104 project has been put on the back burner for now. The T-33 will be a great project in the interm, let accusim get it's jet 'teeth' on the T-33. Still very early in development but good to see A2A has not forgotten the warbirds.

2015 ? That would make it appear at the same time as the Phantom....I just hope they won't use that T-33 as "another reason not to work on the Phantom yet".
I think it´s not looking good for the Phantom in the nearest future. Same problems as mentioned from A2A for the F-104 (supersonic airflow, J-79 engine).
With the F-104 on the back burner (they were modelling the "wrong" version anyway), I reckon the F-4 will be pushed back even further. Personally, I think the T-33 is an excellent choice as a "interim" solution
. The repaint possibilities are beyond endless

Shame.... With their quality in modelling I wouldn't mind having the F-4 and 104 without accusim options, maybe under their 'Aircraft factory' label.

You'll notice, the picture says "If development continues..." which to me says, it's not even a confirmed project. More like an exploration. Although, I'm with the idea. A T-33 would be fantastic.

Isn't Vertigo Studios also working on a T-33??

If at first you don't succeed, try, try,try again. ... or go read the manual.
You know, the Skunkworks Zipper is a very good 104. Too bad A2A is not working on a B-24.
Yes regarding Vertigo Studios and the T-33. So what it means (and I hope I'm wrong) is that a viable FSX T-33 is still YEARS away in either case.
Bummer 'cause I LOVE the T-Bird!

Wake me up when they do something with the F-4.
The F-80 would be good, but only to augment the T-33A...as the sales (and repaint) potential is huge for the latter, as opposed to the former. The T-33 was, quite simply...ubiquitous for 40 years.

lets hope for the late ANG and TAC load outs......
Can't disagree there-- an AT-33 alternative would be nice.lets hope for the late ANG and TAC load outs......

I think simply to get an A2A jet is, well be in its own league, how the team builds on it, it is going hit after following everything else their stable so be looking forward to see the future updates and i'm guessing won't be too far away before we see progress.
Hope you're right Ian-- I'm ready for a new T-bird! [with tip of hat to Tim's T-33, updated by Ed, of course...].

I think placing an A2A post means this may actually be a quick mover, least the engine dynamic's are more sedate than a J79 .. I'm guessing we may be in for an early treat.
Also Lancaster would be nice!
Ian.
Can't disagree with that!
