T-28D Trojan released. payware

Is it just me or is the attitude indicator inverted? It may be the old school gauge but it seems backwards and not natural...

Anyway it looks cool, flies well, has an ILS gauge so that's great for me. The sounds come in a little muffled on my end... I thought the plane would be more "Throaty." Maybe it's something wrong on my end?
 
I try, I bought!

I like the soundpack. I don't find it muffled in VC mode, but I do find the high MP/high RPM note a touch "raspy" to my ears. Lower power settings sound really nice!

Just an opinion - I've never flown in a Trojan!
 
Congratulations on the release, Anthony! The finished product looks gorgeous (it looks very realistic, and accurate (great job, amongst everything else, on the glass materials!)), and I can't wait to pick it up as soon as I get the opportunity.

I meant in the external view. VC is fine. I'm no Trojan expert either.
 
I tried the demo and at least the single cockpit version did not have a noticeable impact on my frame rates. So far, my criticisms are:
1) That the engine sounds seem too low and soft from inside the cockpit.
2) The aircraft seems very light on the controls.
3) Being a modern day flier, I'd really like to see modern radios in the cockpit and maybe even a gps mounted somewhere in the cockpit.

But this is a beautiful model and considering what you get, it is well worth the small asking price. Gotta grab my credit card right now!
 
Ok, I went to the Ants website to read up on it. I understand there is a USN paint, but without a tailhook, correct? NC

Update: ok, reread, and see that only the "D" model has been released. "C" Model had hook.
 
Tried the demo and decided to buy it. Love it so far....and it's hard to argue with such an agreeable price! Runs like butter on my mid-range machine. Congratulations on a beautiful release, Anthony!
 
Sorry to be so picky but I'm also having troubles reading The Switch Panel with the red backlit lighting...

Maybe it's my video card settings, can anyone offer any suggestions?

 
Dang. :isadizzy: I've been waiting all morning to see when this is available at FS Pilot Shop. Can't figure out why its taking so long.

Personally, I like these aircraft modeled as they were rather than as updated modern toys.

That's what it looks like I'm afraid. I found out something interesting making this aircraft. Everytime you create a new VC entry it gobbles up about 50MB of RAM at runtime. To make the lighting system I used about 23 VC entries which ate nearly 1GB of RAM. I had reduce the nice pretty 1024x1024 VC textures down to 512x512 or even 256x256 to get the RAM load under control. The Switch panel suffered worst because of this reduction in resolution.

You can improve it be changing the VC resolution by changing all the 512,512 lines to 1024,1024 but as I said this will increase RAM usage considerably. This is the VC entry for the switch panel lights:
// Panel RH lights
[VCockpit03]
size_mm=512,512
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$pan03
background_color=0,0,0
gauge00=T28DGauges!T28D_Light_Panel_RH, 0,0,512,512
 
Ran the Demo. . . . . Now I have 3 mins remaining on my new T-28D!!

Amazing Job!

Jonathan

P.S. Correction, 2 mins remaining..... (Come on already!)
