February 10, 201214 yr Hello all,I'm looking for some advice, I'm looking to find myself a good single engine military trainer. Preferably a turbo-prop but perhaps a jet would be OK - Would prefer payware quality, tend to avoid freeware aircraft.If anyone knows of any good ones could you let me know? I've had a look around but all I can find is freeware stuff.Many thanks,James James W
February 10, 201214 yr MilViz T-38A, although I may be a bit biased. Two engines, though. https://www.youtube.com/user/JustaRandomSimmer Simulator Videos http://sierra-hotel.blogspot.com Aviation Picture Blog
February 10, 201214 yr You will love either one of these:Lotus L-39CMilviz T-38A (as mentioned above... twin engine, but nothing impeding visibility.)Ken Edited February 10, 201214 yr by srburger
February 10, 201214 yr If you're interested in single-engine piston prop "Basic Trainer" Realair SF-260 may be a choice. In real life this model still performs this role in many air forces.Kivanc.
February 10, 201214 yr Avoid freeware aircraft??? Dino Cattaneo's T45C is definitely top mil payware quality. R9-9950X3D 32G | RTX5090 | 3T m.2 | Win11 | vkb-gf ultimate & pedals | virpil cm3 throttle | tm boeing yoke | pimax super uw | DCS
February 10, 201214 yr Oh yes, the Dino T45 is simply stunning!. I usually avoid freeware too, but this is one you'll never regret installing! Payware quality but free. Add to that the freeware carriers and you'll be in for hours of fun!
February 10, 201214 yr The Lotus L39 is incredible! Excellent value for the money:http://www.lotussim.com/ | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
February 10, 201214 yr Milviz T-38a totally kicks &@($*. The Lotus L39 is also pretty good. Same with the RealAir SF260. Johan Pettersen
February 10, 201214 yr Iris Texan ii and pc9 are amazing. They were aware but now freeware so you can't lose. -Iain Watson-
February 10, 201214 yr Commercial Member At Unity Security Force, we started new pilots on the T-6 Texan II by IRIS Simulations, followed by intermediate training in the T-45C by Dino Cattaneo. Advanced training was in a T-38, moving operationally to an F/A-18E (VRS Superbug, currently on special at http://www.flightsimdealoftheday.com/). This mirrors the real-world pretty closely, starting with a turboprop, then a non-reheating single-engine jet, then a simple'ish reheating jet followed by the real deal.

February 10, 201214 yr The one that I fly the most is the IRIS T-6 II trainer that was built for all the US services. 4 Bladed turboprop, cruises 240 kts and absolutely loaded with avionics and goodies. About 20 liveries, $5.00, $10.00 or free. Just look around. I got it for the $5.00 charge. This is the exact simulation that the USAF Academy is current using for their cadets. ( it was actually built for them).Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
