FSX-MS Ant´s T-28 Trojan Series

"Underpowered" is a bit of an overstatement for the "A".

 

Agreed - it's only relative (to the B, C and D....)

Anyone know if you can turn the T-28 cockpit shadows on in P3DV2?

 

Thanks,

gb.

The-28D with 1425HP is also not that fast (at least not against an P-51D...). But when it´s on the run, it hates slowing down.

This is also true for the "underpowered" A model. Lots of crabbing and turning required to bleed off speed on approach.

That's probably my only gripe with the otherwise excellent T-28B/C. If you're a bit hot on the approach, extending the speed brake seems to have no effect on the speed for me (have even viewed it from outside to make sure that it's actually out). On the RealAir Legacy, extending the speed brakes causes a significant deceleration.

Yes I thought this odd for such an ungainly looking aircraft.  It feels as sleek as it's younger cousin, the T-38, when you're trying to bleed off speed.

Yeah, you need a perfect speed reduction when approaching. The lack of braking flaps makes that even more challenging. 

 

Btw. has anyone some experience with carrier ops? How well does it work with the carriers (the TacPack ones)?

What speed on short final are you using with the D-model, full flaps??

Well Steffen, if you've set out to part us from our money then I have to report that you have been successful, at least in my case. I hadn't heard of Ant's before, but once I get home from work today I'm going to try the A demo. If it flies as good as it looks then no doubt I will be $20.00 poorer by tomorrow.

Sorry, I flew I 2 weeks ago (At university atm). I guess something around 70 - 80 KTS. Landing itself felt really pleasing with that tri-cycle landing gear. I´ll fly it tomorrow, will work on just that.

Mission accomplished! ;-) It´s definitely a no brainer for that money.
