New T33 by Massimo Taccoli

[ian elliot]

This has just turned up in the new release's, at first i thought it was a revamp of his old FS2000 model that was around before Piglet released his but apparently this is a whole new model, ive always had a soft spot for the Piglet model, one of my favorite all time FS9 flyers, but this is a pretty good model. i still think Piglets still has the edge, esp the vc, but give it a go and see what you think.
cheers ian

The parent company had manufactured a total of 5691 T-33A and T-33B trainers when the last was delivered in August 1959, the latter being a version for the U.S. Navy. The prototype flew for the first time on March 22, 1948. Full package includes aircraft, textures and panel by Massimo Taccoli. FD files by Dennis Seeley. Gauges by Dennis Seeley and Massimo Taccoli.

T33

I'm a sucker for this aircraft...I've just downloaded it and after posting here will unzip and try it out. I was very lucky as a young kid...my local air national guard base had the T33 as their main airframe....my cousin and I would park our bikes just outside the fence and watch them enter final and pass right overhead ...back then (early-mid 50s) they were flying all day long...The cold war was a dangerous time, but for kids that loved planes...it was heaven.. Piglets T33 has long been a favorite of mine. I suspect this won't be as nifty but still will give it a go.

So how does it compare to Piglet's T-33 ?

A few more. . . .I have yet to fly it, but don't really think I'll bother. It's ok, but I would still defer to Tim's as the best. There just isn't enough good in it to keep it.:salute:
