A2A Development......T33 and T6

[trucker17]

Thats right......
For anyone who missed the Teamspeak interview..........
A2A simulations announced that they were developing the T33 and T6.......
For more information on these check the A2A forums.......:very_drunk:

I have their Cub and B-17. They're nice, but I don't fly them much.
Since I've flown one many times through the years, I will eventually get the 182.

[Peg o my heart]

T33 will be their milestone...sold!

[JimmyRFR]

Sold on both.

A T-6? Sounds very interesting indeed. I knew that they were thinking of doing one before Oshkosh this year, but then it all went quiet. Been over to the A2A Forums and can't seem to find any reference to it (probably looking in the wrong place!).

Wonder if they need any help, with my past and present experience and worldwide contacts? ;)

Cheers,

Martin

Also sold! Great news! I have the B17, the P40 and the P47, the latter is one of my absolute favourites.
I'm glad they chose to enter a few non GA classics into the development line.

Thanks for the h/u, Craig.

I haven't found anything in their forums that designates New Projects, or any threads that are dedicated to either plane.

It's here, Falcon, last post page 1 (quote- It is going to be posted online (I don't know when or where though), but Scott said the next projects right now are the T-6 and T-33.- unquote ) and onwards.

Sounds great to me but what about their F-4 and F-104.... and wasn't Vertigo working on a T-33 ?....

I got excited last year about this, but, as you can see for yourself from the link posted by Javis, this news is 14 months old ;)

[falcon409]

Very little real info on either plane really, just a few lines about them being in the mix. Looks like most over there are still enamored with the 182. It appears that anything on the T-6 or T-33 could still be well off. . .maybe mid-summer next year before anything serious shows up. . . .and that's not finished projects, just WIP.

[Smudge]

Last I heard, IRIS and Vertigo were going to work on the T-33, though now A2A have put their hat in the ring, maybe that'll change things.. :)

[jankees]

I'll buy both of them without a second hesitation. My first real flight ever was in a T-6, bring it on!

[robert41]

A recent post at A2A by Scott said, the T6 and T33 where in the medium term. Hopefully they will be made. So there must be something in the short term. Maybe a complex GA? Or twin? And the P51H?

[trucker17]

On Friday Dec 12th. during the Teamspeak3 talk with Scott and Lewis, They had talked about their new Cessna 182, and what was in development......

Here is the link in their forums, even though it is not scott or lewis who started the post.....
Anyone who was at TS3 for the conversation knows what was talked about, and what was said......

I'm doing this from memory, so I may have gotten something wrong, but I recall their having said a while ago that the T-33 was the technology development platform for turbine engines, and the work done on that would then feed into the F-104 and the F-4. The turbine work took longer than expected, so all the jet aircraft were pushed back. If the T-33 is back on the front burner, that might promise well for the others.

About announcements and timing - I get the sense they got burned on the F-4 announcement-plus-severe-delay, and decided not to announce anything until very close to completion. The 182 dropped unexpectedly just a couple of weeks before release. Either of the new aircraft might come as surprises as well. In the past, they'd start talking about projects a year or more in advance, and videos would start appearing 4-6 months before completion, but it seems as though that's not going to happen anymore. Impossible to say right now where these projects stand.

I was really hoping for the VertigoStudios T-33A but I have not seen any update on the project (http://www.vertigostudios.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?378-Development-shots-of-the-upcoming-T33) since June.

Surely they must've talked about that on Teamspeak ?.....

What do you say, Trucker ? Can you give us losers that are not on TS a hint or two ?..... :santahat:

Just recently they posted a screenie of the generator cart.... I guess that's just for starters...:teapot:

I have to confess I haven't yet heard the Teamspeak interview, so I might have missed something major, but in the forum commentary from those that did hear it, there's no mention of anything about release dates or even any guidance on timelines. Right now Trucker's hint is the only thing I've come across. So yes, Trucker... tell us more!

Sorry Javis......I missed the show, so i dont know all that was said......
As for the T33....I knew about it over a year ago, they were working on it......I made attempts to get them into one of 2 T33's i know to exhist that are operational......One being at Chino Airport in Chino California, and the other being in Albuquerque NM.......Where it went from their i have no idea......

[joe bob]

I seem to recall the F-104 and F-4 from A2A got shelved since supersonic flight was a bit more involved than anticipated so they decided to go with the T-33.

I'll buy both of them without a second hesitation. My first real flight ever was in a T-6, bring it on!
Like me JK .. my first Warbird, trainer .. was the North American Harvard, .... T33 we can put that little behind, after all we, We all need some pilot training:adoration:

LOL......So true Ian.......Now if someone could explain to my kid.....The plane lands on the runway......not allover the runway.....:biggrin-new:

[roger-wilco-66]

Also love the T6, see my avatar :-) The only aircraft I ever flew in that comes close to a warbird.

The T-6 is a warbird :) - having been used armed in so many conflicts and by some many nations - Korea for example as the LT-6G. One of the examples I have flown in (an ex-Luftwaffe Harvard Mk.4) has bullet holes (repaired of course) down the fuselage when it was used by the Portuguese in Mozambique in the 1970s.

The photo in your aviatar, is that D-FAME as used to fly in that a lot when it lived in the UK?

Happy Landings,

Martin

Last trip out off RNZAF Wigram in 2006, I said on the NZFF forum , to one young chap, you will know its me .. as we circled his place I started to fool around ..... Canopy open .. Canopy closed .. Canopy open .. Canopy closed .. Canopy open .. Canopy closed .. Canopy open .. Canopy closed .. .... on my return home found James with a big smile and a big thumbs-up , really made his day .. course me being silly, spose helped :a1310:

EDIT: the last flight out off Wigram was 15/02/2009 .. figured A2A doing the AT-6/SNJ-4/Harvard IIA model i'd pull the manual , and there was the ticket.

Hi Martin,

OK, you're right, it's a warbird :-) What else if it has bullet holes :-)

I think the aircraft is the D-FHGL. Actually there are two of these aircraft (the other one is the D-FHGK). which are operated by the father and son Team Toni and Walter Eichhorn. I flew with Toni on a rather lengthy flight back then. Included were around 15 minutes of aerobatics, the whole program. You can't believe how long 15 minutes can be. And an overland flight to Koblenz with landing, where I had the chance to get my hands on the stick during the flight. Wonderful experience. I was amazed how responsive the controls were. It seemed much lighter than a C150 or C172 to me.


Cheers,
Mark

While flying Tim's T-33 a few days ago, I was thinking along the lines of "Funny that there's no payware of this one yet" and lo' and behold...
