AT-6 Sounds..

...Wasn't there a set of sounds for the AT-6 that replicates the sound the prop makes as the aircraft makes a flyby? The tip of the prop is actually breaking the sound barrier I think.

I think everyone's making their own (at least that is what Grant did, and I'm trying to do). ; )

Maybe I'm misunderstanding everyone's response so far, but there is a paint kit in the main T-6 folder, in the "Masters.zip" file.
The layered templates in the Paint.Net .pdn format. There is a plug-in available at Paint.Net that will allow the .pdn files to be saved as .psd for PhotoShop. :kilroy:
 
This is the look of the base texture set I'm trying to achieve, with all of the correct panel lines, fasteners, and rivet types, with all new bare metal and fabric textures, spec maps and bump maps (this is the same aircraft in all of the photos, recently restored, first in factory-bare scheme, and now in an accurate WWII-era State-side training squadron scheme):

I believe Doug Smith's soundset comes highly recommended, as found at the bottom of this page: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=110

I don't believe I have ever gotten around to trying them out, but will do so this afternoon - I imagine they'll be a keeper (though I have always liked the soundset that comes with the Wozza Texan/subject aircraft of this thread).

John, that's the one I was looking for. I actually only used two of the wavs. I renamed them to match the sound config that came with the airplane. Now I don't have that metallic clanging at top rpm and I have the external prop sound I wanted.

Sounds good, looks good, and flys good. What more could you ask for.....Life's good.

The other sound set I was thinking of recommending, is the one that comes with the Milton Shupe and team, AT-11, by Gary Jones. The engine/prop sounds are very near perfect for that of the AT-6, with that same high-power/RPM snarl as well (and superb exterior sounds for all power ranges - really!), though the interior sounds are very quiet. Worth checking out for yourself, if anyone wants to.
 
Wozza did a brilliant job on the AT-6. As several have mentioned it really does give one the feeling of genuine flight. So realistic. One of my top five favourites

I hope to be able to provide some WWII-era USAAF and USN schemes in the near future, with all new exterior textures.

Sure hope your successful. This classic is crying out for some re-worked paint scheme's.
 
I was a beta tester on this and it was a great model to test! Where are you Wozza, we don't see enough of you these days:salute:

My version of the paint kit so far, sans weathering. Eventually I will post it for downloading!

Dan, I'll be watching for that one. Back in the late 1950s, the skies of South Georgia where I live were filled with those flying out of Bainbridge Air Base, Bainbridge, Georgia.

I've had this T-6 in my hangar for many months but did not fly it 'cause is crashed my FSX. I did not know there was an update that fixed it. Thank you, Bomber, for giving the sites for the update and the fabulous repaint. And also for the info on Doug Smith's great soundset. Now I'm happy flying the Texan and scaring my cats with the growling engine. Looking forward to the USAF paint. And many thanks to Warwick Carter, David Eckert and Michael Flahault for this fantastic airplane.
 
I also had my T-6 since it came out.
Thanks for the HU that reminded me to visit my hangar. I looked for a new dress for this wonderful plane and found this Kiwi trainer.

Scenery is NL200.
I "borrowed" the Wasp engine sound from my GAS Boeing Model40 - together with Accu-feel that is better than music!
Thanks again Wozza and Co for this jewel.

Mike



BTW - I don't have any painting skills, thus I would be happy if anyone would do one of the old German Luftwaffe Texans ot the early 50's, yellow or even better camouflaged with dayglow orange markings:engel016:
 
Very nice plane, sounds much better with the sound update. Bit of a bugger to taxi though

I cant manual start it, don't know where I'm going wrong. Mags on, fuel on, prime 3 or 4 strokes, crack the throttle and press the starter button.
It turns over but doesn't fire up, what am I missing ?
 
You need to provide 2-lbs of fuel pressure using the wobble pump, then prime (as it doesn't have a fuel booster pump). Make sure that you have the proper fuel tank selected, and that it has fuel in it.

For full steering on the ground, you have to push the stick forward to unlock the tail wheel, just like the Mustang and the AT-6G it depicts - it then becomes almost too easy to turn on the ground.
