Yes, if it was another developer I would be more excited but I'll put this one out of my mind for another six months by which time it will be coming a little bit sooner.

Let us  now make way for the chorus of lament : What ! Yet another military aircraft ! This is a civil sim !   😉

Interesting choice, a Texan II. Never heard of an ADV version though. I thought that A2A would do one as they worked on one for the US military. Milviz was swifter.

Oh this is Milviz news?  I was confused.... I keep forgetting they've switched to their new name.

I'm pretty excited.  A TEX2 is super one plus it will be very in depth!

Yup! Milviz/ Blackbird Simulations news & updates of all the going-ons at our company 🙂 This plane is a whole level up. Stay tuned for more details soon!

This is not unexpected to me.  I seem to recall Milviz already having a T-6 Texan II for a certain customer, a couple of years ago.  :ph34r:

So yes, building on that -- if in fact it existed -- should be a really nice Texan II.   That's a very cool airplane.

I don’t really buy into the complaints about military aircraft in a civilian sim, but isn’t the Texan II mostly used for basic training?  Do weapons systems and the ability to fire weapons actually matter on an aircraft like this?

Its a trainer for ‘light attack and armed reconnaissance’ missions.

Talk to any one in the military of countries like the US or UK and ask them out of their several thousand hours on type for whatever they fly, how many of those hours were actually spent shooting at things. Chances are for most the answer is zero, even in training getting to fire off multi million dollar live ordinance is going to be extraordinarily rare.

You still need to be 18+ to use those trainers. MSFS is rated at +4 and over and not designed for Military action.
