[Daveroo]

i believe his nick is Wozza?..derick Warrick?..maybe thats where ive gone wrong?..anyway ive spent a couple days now trying to find the plane itself ...to no avail ,ive found a bunch of Bomber12's repaints...but not the plane itself...can someone help?

[racartron]

Warwick Carter

[Kowalski65]

Is this the one?

If so a LOT of repaints

[dhasdell]

Try here: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=fsds_t6_ver1.1.zip&CatID=fsx&Go=Search. This should be the updated version. The file you are after is fsds_t6_ver1.1.zip

Wozza was Warwick Carter - Derek Warwick was a Formula One driver!

[huub vink]

Make sure you also download the update as otherwise the repaints will have an issue with the cowlings.

Cheers,
Huub

[Dumonceau]

And if you do like Huub suggested, you can have something like this, freeware with payware quality!

Your link worked thanks:encouragement:

The other links http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib....rchid=34324054 (http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=34324054)
and the repaints
http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib....rchid=34324089

(http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=34324089)were a dud... so where are the repaints? :engel016:

Edit: I have a collection of repaints from the previous version, perhaps they will work with this V1.1


Edit: John Terrill did an FDE update file called jt_woz_t6_fdeup.zip
Its purpose was and I quote "This is a set of modified flight dynamics for the freeware Warwick "Wozza" Carter AT-6G Texan. These modified flight dynamics keep all of the good things about the original flight dynamics in-place, but improves the engine and prop performance for more accuracy. Requires the files t6texmod.zip and fsds_t-6update.zip to be installed first."

Sent John a PM and asked his opinion on his FDE update to see if it is still applicable for this V1.1

Film at 11 :)

[Bomber_12th]

Version 1.1 of the aircraft was released way back in 2010, only days after the original/initial release. Only one repaint, that I'm aware of, was ever released for the original version of the aircraft, that being woz_t-6_rcaf.zip by Michael Flahault. All of the other repaints that I'm aware of require V1.1 to be installed in order to have the cowl texturing show properly. I believe Flightsim.com is the only site where you have to download both the original/initial release and the update separate, where as if you download the aircraft from Avsim or Simviation, released later, it's packaged together as a single unit.

After a closer look, I noticed that I already had this V1.1 installed. Thinking that the very name of the file included V1.1 to it, I assumed it was newer then what I had installed.
Long story short, I restored what I had deleted and the readme file had version 1.1 in the intro this is because I had installed the older version then the V1.1 update file over it.
I then added John's FDE update. Nice to know that there is one complete file (V1.1) that will do the trick instead of what I when thru earlier.

As John mentions... you could just get the exclusive updated package (http://www.fsxairsports.com/air_racing/classes/t6/FASA_T-6_Racers/) from us, and apply Johns fantastic skins with it?

I just d/l it. Looks nice. :encouragement:

Thanks. :adoration:

[gray eagle]

How is the pilots canopy opened? I see a red lever on the left side of the canopy that I can click on and I see a canopy open/closed.


Shift + E works the back seat canopy okay.

[Bomber_12th]

Click on the red lever, which unlocks the canopy, then pull on the canopy framing itself to open it, however much/little you desire. Clicking on the red locking lever again will lock the canopy in-place, wherever you leave it.

And a cold start needs careful use of the primer and the wobble pump!

One question,

I saw on link above ^ that it features a New Flight Dynamic Model. Would this be John's FDE update already applied to this package?

T-6.air in the racer package is dated 3/3/2014 and John's is dated 5/23/14.

[fsxar177]

In regards to the flight model.. I cannot speak for John's, however the Flight Model in the Racers package is entirely new, using dozens of reports, many first hand. They are designed around a regular-flying type modern day T-6, however still remain relatively stock. Don't let the 'Racers' thing fool you, the aircraft still performs very much as a stock aircraft, when operated within the recommended limitations.

Thanks for the reply, I was trying to find out which of the air files would be the best of the two. Some of the racers pack files are interchangeable with the Wozza basic V1.1
including the air files, that is why I asked if there is any appreciable difference between the two.

[fsxar177]

The Racers package should remain stand-alone, as the .cfg, .air, and .xml systems programming all work together.

- Joseph

[Bjoern]

I like the racer version. With a plane as slow as a T-6 every bit of additional horsepower counts, lol.

[T6flyer]

I've just flown the Racer package for the first time. Love the detail and the work that has gone into this and learnt something about the Racers too. I've found the sound a little different from the stock T-6, but then again haven't heard a race tuned engine. But then thought they would have both sounded the same?

And as to landings, find it very easy every time. Once took my feet off the pedals and it ran in a straight line. Find this with both versions. Dialled in a crosswind and tried again and although had to compensate for the drift, still didn't seem to have any major problems. Believe the real thing was difficult in the landing stage?

Cheers,

Martin

[fsxar177]

Martin, Thanks for the feedback.

I should thing that the biggest audible difference that there should be, would be from the extra RPM that the racing guys use. (Up to 2675, vs 2250).

Your thoughts on landing are probably correct. It's probably too gentle. Just curious if all of your realism sliders full right, for P-Factor/Torque ?

Most reports are clear, that she can be swirly in the landing stage, particularly if the pilot is not just a little bit ahead of her. This is mostly due to the CG, and narrow wheelbase. (Unlike high performance fighters, which would have even less visibility, yet a wider gear stance, and much more dangerous hazards on a rapid power-up for go around)

Just gone and had a look and yes, everything is over to the right as per normal. Can't see any point of the sliders being to the left as its meant to be a simulator! ;)

I have a lot of experience in T-6s, all from the backseat and been around them for over 25 years. Flown in most variants (Harvards of various marks, T-6Gs, SNJs), but not for some reason a stock AT-6. One of the Harvards, a MK.4 was a Reno Racer in the 1970s called 'Super Slug' N13631. Was Editor of a European T-6 magazine for 4 years and then European Correspondent for NATA for 11 years. Researched over 65 individual histories and 5 British T-6s are flying in my schemes. Last year added two more to the list and looking forward to another two this year.

And experienced the dreaded ground loop! :)

Best wishes,

Martin

[fsxar177]

I had figured you had significant experience :)

Any advice would be considered, if we ever decided to update the package.

[Bjoern]

Hm. Couldn't find the release thread for the racer models, so here's a bit of necromancy.

I flew the T6 yesterday for a bit, but had difficulties starting it. No ignition; had to use CTRL+E in the end.

Tried going all manual for the last 45 minutes or so, but the bloody engine just won't ignite. Did everything by the checklists, did everything by Wozza's original readme, did everything by posts I've found across the web. Nothing. Nada.

1. Battery, generator, avionics switch
2. Throttle to ~11%, mixture 100%, prop 0%
3. Fuel selector to Center2 (fuel level at 100%)
4. Pump until I have 3 psi(?)
5. Prime about 8 or 10 times (cold&dark, ~10°C CHT)
6. Magnetos to "Both"
7. Push starter button (or press the key combination that I use for the starter)

I'm expecting ignition, but get nothing except for a bit of spinning. As I've said, CTRL+E works at that point.

Looking at the VC model's XML stuff with ModelConverterX, the starter only seems to set the simulation variable for the magnetos to "4",which I assume is "Ignition" for a piston aircraft.
I did the math for my situation according to the XML code for the fuel system and it all works out with 5 priming shots to set everything to "true".

Something that's needed for FSX piston aircraft startup isn't being set by the T-6's systems. But what...?

[Bjoern]

(Darn "edit post" bug...)

Finally got it started, thanks to monitoring the system's L:vars.

(At 10°C OAT/CHT)
1. Throttle closed
2. Mixture full rich
3. Fuel selector to "RES ON"
4. Magnetos to "BOTH"
5. Fuel pressure at least 1.5 psi
6. Prime once or twice (didn't need more)
7. Push starter button

[Daube]

Thanks Bjoern for that summary.
I also had a lot of troubles starting that plane. The thing is: it won't start until all the parameters are exactely where they are expected to be, and this can be frustrating at times...

[margon]

Hi, I just tried this plane and i loved it, without no doubt the best t-6 avaliable. I would like to know if the paint kit is avaliable for downoload somewhere, I did not find it in avsim. I am planning to make repaints for south american Texans. Thanks.
