November 30, 2025Nov 30 I'd wait a week or two, Blackbird's T-38 is releasing soon as a Famous Flyer for MSFS. See how it compares. Though the T-38 coming from Blackbird is only the A variant, while this is the A and C variants. Edited November 30, 2025Nov 30 by Tuskin38

December 1, 2025Dec 1 It's $30, FS2024-only, from these guys: https://www.infinity-simulations.com I'm intrigued...I served a tour as a USAF instructor pilot in the white rocket. I did a little consulting and beta work on the Milviz/Blackbird version in P3D and FSX back in the day. It'll be interesting to see how both of these came out in MSFS.

Though the T-38 coming from Blackbird is only the A variant, while this is the A and C variants. Famous Flyer aircraft have almost exclusively been built cheaply made and poorly supported so I’m not sure why you would want to wait if it’s an aircraft that interests you ?

Milviz were a good dev but in MSFS they’ve rarely come even close to the quality they showed in P3D (or even XPlane) and that’s before considering the limitations inherent in this kind of work for hire job Edited December 1, 2025Dec 1 by Matchstick
December 1, 2025Dec 1 I REALLY like the C-model that MilViz did as a gov/comm project for P3D. So this rendition is of particular interest to me vs the pending steam-gauge A-Model redux by MilViz/BlackBird. also kinda like the backstory here in that it’s a dev “test mule” for their DC-10 addon. Not unheard of IRL, either! 😎 since this is their first addon ever, I’ll wait a bit to see user feedback before I bite. im a bit concerned about the Famous Flyer category for this next one, but as stated by others, BBS is (still) capable of great work (e.g. the 310, T-6, and C-130). in P3D, they had a believable flight model via an external engine. The T-38 is rather unforgiving IRL, so i‘m really hoping they stepped up into some CFD physics for this one. It’d be a cryin shame if it flies like a kite in this sim.

It looks to be an updated version of the P3D T38a. I imagine it will be nearly identical in the way it flies. I personally dig it and took hot minute to master it. The audio is great on the blackbird P3D version, the delay in the jet spooling up is awesome.
December 3, 2025Dec 3 I’m a big fan of the Milviz T38A in P3D, and it still smarts that I missed out on their C version so I’ll definitely pick this up with both the A and C included. It looks very nice in this Avangel review. The best thing about the milviz T38 is the ADV flight model, if the new blackbird is a famous flyer then I doubt it will have the ADV flight model and so it will be more of a level playing field when compared to the infinity version.

I haven't been overly impressed with BlackBirds flight models in MSFS so far, and like you say, the Famous Flyer version may not have enough margin to allow for CFD development, but man if there's an aircraft that NEEDS it, this one is it!!! 🙂 Well, we'll see soon enough!
