T-6 Texan

Dave, I have both, and with Volume 2 you get quite a bit more than you do with Volume 1, for really no difference in price. The flight dynamics are very nice, but a bit underpowered (much like the flight dynamics with the Warwick Carter model). I've simply increased the horsepower and changed a few other items regarding the engine and prop in mine to get more airspeed out of them. I've been working on new textures, specs, and bump maps for the SU models at double the resolution as they come, with the hope of producing a number of my favorite Texan, SNJ, and Harvard paint schemes.

That would be very nice of you John ! ;)
I noticed the SU T-6 (vol 1 + 2) were underpowered indeed; Formation flight with the Ant's T-28 very hard to achieve because of the lack of power of the T-6.
But I still like very much the SU T-6 and the variety of models;
 
A note about the Memorial Day sale at SkyUnlimited that you see posted on the website. That's from 2 years ago. I don't know if the links still work or not. Jesse hasn't bothered to keep things updated since he started teaching a couple of years ago. On occasion I get automated e-mails when people order a CD, since I make the discs and assemble the cases and mail them out.
 
Just picked up Sky Unlimited's pack two.. John, I would love to have your improvements, flight model and texture wise, to these outstanding models... I have all the available Texans, BTW, and they are all very well done... Thankful to all the modellers who make these planes available, be they payware or freeware. :salute::medals::icon29::guinness:
 
Mike, Cleartheprop, and Quicksand, I'll polish them off (the flight dynamics files) and send them to you via PM. My aim was to have flight performance similar to the Virtavia/Alphasim models (airspeeds, acceleration), with the flight handling of the Warwick Carter models (control forces), together with the visuals of the SU models (I've done the same/use the same flight dynamics with the Warwick Carter models as well). If interested, I'll also include the modified panel.cfg files and gauge that I wrote for the tailwheel locking mechanism for the SU AT-6G and LT-6G variants, which, unlike the earlier Texans, had a tailwheel locking mechanism just like the P-51 (that was connected to the control stick position).

If anyone else would be interested, just PM me, and I'll get the files off to you as well (volume 1 and 2). I'm still working on the textures (its been a bit of a long-term project).
