FSX SP2/A T-33-A Rev A. Uploaded

To everyone who worked on this, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. :salute::salute:

Second that!

And since my (quite neglected) FSX install still is in a non-accelerated status, I was keen to find out how it looks:

Henry's awesome RNoAF repaint (above Stavanger Sola) in FSX/SP1.
Those reflections are great!

It's time to roll her into the paint shed to start my USAF/AFCS repaint (as seen in FS9) with the big textures... :jump:

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Yee Ol'd T33

This "OLD" aircraft continuosly revamped by all you talented folks just simple "ROCKs" Always a favorite to fly about.... It just keeps getting better and better..

I am happy that this effort went well. I cut the distro to keep it under 100 Mbytes so people can actually download it. Because of that, not everything that I have could be put into the package. I hope that everyone has fun with this package. It is really a community development starting with Piglet's source, my mods, all of the great art from Falcon and HenryW and others.

There are some other projects coming down that pike. Stay tuned.

Hate to bother you with a stupid question but....
On my previous version and this one there were no panel instruments, other than a small radio stack and two navaid indicators. Followed the 'readme', I think. Unzip gauges and effects to FSX/gauges and effects - also the two folders. 'T33' folder to FSX/sim obj/acft and the 'dll' file to FSX. Looks good, flies good - what haven't I done?
 
FSX SP2/A T-33-A Rev A. Sound file

The T-33A sound file is an aliased file

the contents in sound.cfg are the following

[fltsim]
alias=lear45\sound

//to be used with FSX-A
//alias=FA-18\sound


The implication is that the lear45 is available on your system.

If you are flying FSX-A you can open the sound file and change the alias to point to FA-18\sound for a more realistic environment. Alternatively, you can download j33sndfs.zip from flightsim.com and install that sound package in the sound folder. This package is an exterior and interior sound package for an Allision J33-A-35 turbo and is very realistic.

I hope this helps.

PAnel and Gauge Issues

It sounds like your version is not picking up the gauges from FSX/Gauges. Look in your FSX/Gauges folder, all of the gauges that are in the in distro should be there. Question, is the clock and magnetic compass showing. These are aliased to the DC-3 magnetic which should be on your FSX system. If it is not then something else is going on.

Radioman123,

I have approved the airfile revision, and I added a folder to the original upload. After the updated airfile has been in the library for a while and the download frequency tails off, I will remove it because it has not been included in the original folder.

Thanks. It is as close as I could get it. I am hoping that some T-33 pilots can comment on it.

"The T-33A sound file is an aliased file

the contents in sound.cfg are the following

[fltsim]
alias=lear45\sound

//to be used with FSX-A
//alias=FA-18\sound "

Anyone know of the whereabouts of sounds for the Rolls Royce Nene engine used in Canada? I remeber the distinctive whistling sound overhead, especially in sub-zero weather'

Thank you. The Allison sound package works great for me.

The little clock and mag compass are there and the previously mentioned CDI indicators - other than that, what I thought was a small radio stack is actually a list of pre-takeoff checks. FSX/gauges shows a list of T33 gauges and I reinstalled everything exactly as specified in the 'readme' - no change.
 
T-33A Gauges and their location to work

I am not sure what is going on but it sounds like the simulator is not reading the gauge file properly. If you open your gauge file at

Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Gauges
, you should see something like what is in attachment 1.

In the middle of that file you should have the following as shown in attachment 2.

View attachment 31770

This example shows the individual T-33 gauge files.

To do this, the gauge files in the gauge zip need to be opened and the individual files in the opened T-33 gauge folder need to be placed directly in the the Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Gauges folder as shown in the example. When you run FSX, you should see the following if all has gone well.

Got it and love it. :ernae:
I used to fly this plane a lot back in my FS9 days, it was one of my favorite jets. I'm glad I can fly it again in FSX without any display issue anymore, thanks for that. I hope somebody will repaint the interior soon.
