Who makes the best T-6 Texan

[hey_moe]

I have always liked the T-6 and I was wondering if any of you guys know of a good one, doesn't matter if it payware or freeware...Mike

I have both the Alphasim and Sky Unlimited versions. I prefer the Alphasim version hands down. The racing variant modification (of the AS model) is also excellent.

I flew the SU T-6 for about 10 minutes, then removed it my hangar. I didn't like the flight model or soundset. Though I think the SU version has a superior VC.

I still want a better version of the T-6 with 3D gauges and all the latest FSX treatments. The Texan is my favorite aircraft in real life.

Did Alphasim ever fix the typos on the gauge graphics? They always bugged me rather a lot.

I'm also interested in this thread, because I still want to buy myself a Harvard to potter between WW2 RAF Fields buzzing the locals.

You mean "cilmb" isn't right?

No, I don't believe so :(

I have the Sky Unlimited version and like it a lot.

Not a bad price for twenty bucks.Have you tried the other ones the guys are talking about.

Nope. I am not a fan of Alphasim. I haven't purchased anything from them since the F-5 episode.

To be fair, I am not a big fan of the T-6. I bought this one mainly because Helldiver really liked it. I figure he knows T-6s. Besides, it was a small company and I thought I would support them.

Wozza's in the process of building one. I saw it in the up and coming freeware thread.

I have both the Alphasim and Sky Unlimited models and I doubt you'd be disappointed with either. I think the Alphasim just edges it in external modelling and textures, while the SU has a more detailed cockpit, a proper Harvard II model and (so far as you can ever really tell) a more accurate flight model. I like them both, but I fly SU much more - and it is more than $10 cheaper. I think we've yet to see the definitive Texan / Harvard.

That was the older FS9 Alphasim model, not the current FSX native one - if it was the newer one, I would be giving answers on this thread, not asking questions on it (and wouldn't need to buy an FSX native Harvard! )

(And thanks to Nick for the quick update to that review so you can read the text properly, too. )

Sky Unlimited has the Best AT-6

By FAR

I bought the SU version last week when Flightsim Pilot Shop had it on sale for 1/2 price. I got it for $10.48 US and I think it was worth every penny of 10 bucks! The VC is pretty good, but the flight dynamics can stand a little tweaking. I'm going to work on that this week. I would have spent a lot more time in her, but I just got the Duke for my birthday and can't stay out of it!

It's a good thing I'm on vacation... So many airplanes; so little time...

I think SU is the best and I have flown in one. I think it is the most accurate and has a great VC. There only a couple of minor changes I would have asked for as a beta tester but they are minor. Great job, Jesse
