iniBuilds T-33 FS20 paints for FS24?

*NEW* - Canadair T-33 Mk.3 Silver Star 21623 of No.2 Canadian Forces Flying Training School, CFB Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, circa mid-to-late 1960s.

Great job you are doing on the T-33. (y)
I can see that in your msfs2020 version, you have 2 pilots on board. Is that also possible in msfs2024?
I can`t really seem to find anything, about how to do that.

I asked about the paintkit and fixes in the official forum. The rep honestly said the team's been buried in A350. Which, alas, is likely magnitudes more money for them than the T-33, alas, because a large portion of the community misses the fun of flying historic planes and instead for some strange reason enjoys programming systems in tubeliners. I wish the fun planes like the T-33 did well enough to be a priority, but in the end, they're a business. As long as they get to us eventually... It's a shame, though, because there are some amazing paints for the FS20 version I can't wait to see in '24, where the plane flies better.

@Tim-HH, I'd mention that about the missing decals on the official forum. Who knows if the folks handing out the bug/fixes tasks are even aware...

Amen brother. (y)
 
*NEW* JF-303 of 3 All Weather (Fighter) Operational Training Unit, RCAF Station North Bay, Ontario, early 1950s.

3 AW (F) OTU was the unit that trained pilots to fly the CF-100 interceptor. T-33s were used for jet transition training and instrument flight training as a lead-in to flying the CF-100.

The Night Witch unit crest of 3 AW (F) OTU was worn by T-33s attached to the school.

Okaaaaay... had to go and correct some previous liveries as I screwed up the tip tank textures (wrong style of anti-glare on insides for the era). Maybe not noticeable to some but it was ticking me off so here are the links for the corrected liveries:

CAF 21629, 4 Wing Baden-Soellingen HERE

CAF 21452, 2 FTS, Gimli HERE

CAF 21628, 1 Wing, Lahr HERE (This one also has the tail art corrected to left and right versions rather than same on both sides)

RCAF 21623, 2CFFTS, Moose Jaw HERE

Will be posting same in the 2020 forums.
 
@jocko417, I really appreciate your dedication to recreating all of these RCAF liveries. They're just fantastic.

I wonder how many static T-33s I could place on airport before it completely kills frame rates? It would be fun to just drop a dozen or so T-33s from the same time period in a lineup at a Canadian airport scenery and then walk around them. :) Some day when my to-do list is a bit shorter I may have to try that.
 
Thanks Brother, I guess you could say the same about the Airshow Assistant maybe choking on formations. I've lost count of the number of individual paint schemes for the T-33 available online (need at least 38?), do you think we can we pull this off yet?

Sadly, right now Airshow Assistant won't see any of your paints. Hoping he gets around to the promised update with the new scanning technique soon.

Was poking around looking at the schemes, and the stencil detail is just amazing!

Thanks, I’m fortunate that I live about 45 mins away from a T-33 (THAT VERY ONE, ACTUALLY!) that still retains most of the servicing stencils, etc. Most aircraft restorations usually stop after nationality markings and buzz numbers.

‘623 was retired in the 1980s, so retains the “symmetrical/Armed Forces” style of bilingual markings of the time. Also, this was in the era when standardized NATO symbology started to be introduced to help identify various servicing locations for fuel, oil, oxygen, hydraulic fluid, etc. The stencils evolved over time, so I’m always on the lookout for period photos, especially from the early days, and unfortunately sharp, detailed photos are very rare.

Sadly missing the tip tanks so no shots of the labels on them. But the pics do show some of the service symbols- 4 point star for fuel, “equals” sign for oxygen (gas in this case, not liquid like on modern types).
