Texan Joyriding

Is there any update on this? This bird really needs and deserves a good repaint(kit).

Thx,

Marcel
 
How do I get this AT-6? Is it available as a SNJ? I rode in plenty of them.
Maybe a "Yellow Peril" that the Blues used to have. That would be nice.
 
Yes, as per the earlier part of the thread:

It is the Warwick Carter, Mike Flahault, and David Eckert FSX-native AT-6 Texan. All of the files used can be found at Flightsim.com, by searching out the file names listed here:

Base/original aircraft files: fsds_t-6.zip
Update for original release: fsds_t-6update.zip
Repaint: saafhvd.zip

It's available on flightsim, plus John Terrel did some great SNJ paints. There is at least one yellow Pensacola-themed bird - again, a modern day warbird repaint, that I can recall. Most of the WWII era SNJ paints were bare metal, reflecting more current warbird schemes than necessarily how they flew in the 40s - but they're lovely, and to be gratefully appreciated.

The model is a standard Texan, but the dev team incorporated a brilliant little toggle (shift+1) that enables you to toggle - among other things, the tailhook. Yes, we all know there were differences between Texans and SNJs - but fans of FSX naval aviation will hopefully agree the compromise is a decent one - given the alternative of no other freeware, native, SNJ specific model. With the various .cfg and paint mods out there, it is a freeware gem of notable mention.

cheers,
