A2A T-6 Texan Released!

[gribouil]

I can see that this beauty inspires all the SOH talented repainters... and that's great!!!

[alehead]

I agree. I love watching the work of the best painters in the industry roll in both here and on the A2A site. Thanks all of you for making your outstanding repaints available. There are so many, I don't know which to choose!

No doubt, someone will chime in with the words, "then choose them all!"

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!

So there is an alternative to that GPS cockpit? Surprisingly hard to get information about the cockpit variations (?). A sales method?

Ryan,

I must be missing something.

I read that post the other day, and read it again just now.

It states it is a WIP, so not avail yet. Am I right?

As I read it.. both the panel and paint it was sitting in are still WIP. No sign of a link for release versions Manfred

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.

The a/c repaint (yes it is TFC's) is on the "released repaints" thread, as is someone else's version of the same aircraft...

You'll probably want to download the Welshman's version.

Can't comment on stiz's panel I'm afraid. He'll have reply on that one!

Thanks for the HU John. Looking forward to them

EDIT: Thanks for the HU too Ian. Those threads get so long.. I lose the will to read through them and often (by the time I get there) the links are dead!!

The paint's been released, in fact there are 2 versions by different artists. Check the "Released paints" thread over at A2A.

[DaveB]

Downloaded both versions Ian. I think I'll keep yours. The other one is a bit dark on my rig.. very nice but dark

BTW.. if you want to feel just how easy the A2A Texan is.. spend a week flying the Milviz F-4J then jump into the Texan

That's welcome news. Looking forward to the updated VCs.

Best current reference for A2A T-6 paints is this page at freewarescenery.com. Lags by a day or two and there may be a couple missing here and there, but pretty comprehensive and a lot easier to read than the A2A threads.

One Hell off site and many many still not added , impressive turnout Rob's done a great job.
