January 27Jan 27 Well…..As an owner of the new and simply superb infinity T38 and a long term owner of the milviz T38A in P3D ( missed out on the milviz T38C ggggrrr)….. I signed up for the free trial, flew one circuit at KEDW made a full stop landing, applied the brakes and exited the aircraft, promptly returned to the marketplace and hit the buy button. A one circuit review, probably more polished than the infinity T38A in terms of cockpit graphics and sounds, although the infinity machine is earmarked for constant improvements I believe so not really fair comparison as it’s still being worked on. Flight model wise, the blackbird T38A feels much more spritely, sadly I’m not qualified to comment on which is more realistic. The BB T38A has lost that rock and roll with the wing tips stalling which some ex T38 guys here have said was too exaggerated in the P3D version. I’m using a motion rig and when I light the burners I get a real shove in the back which I just know I’m never going to get tired of 😁 My advice would be, don’t choose have both, the BB for the A version and the Infinity for the C version.

January 27Jan 27 That’s interesting, I’ve been flying along the Florida coast line between Tyndall and Elgin in the infinity T38s all week recreating a flight I watched on YouTube. 2500ft and 300kts. To maintain 300kts in the infinity T38A and C requires 63-64% on the engines , just tried the same flight in the BB T38A and that required 85% , a big difference, and 85% seems a little high to me. As the infinity T38 has input from current T38 pilots I was going to give the nod to that aircraft as having the more accurate pitch power settings. However after joining the ranks of YouTube test pilots and watching the clip again, what do you know, a T38A 2500ft 300kts…85% on the engines!, spot on for Blackbird.🐦⬛ 787 captain.

January 28Jan 28 So, I've only got a couple of hours left of my free trial and I'm 50/50 about keeping her. I don't like the neutered liveries or the, to me overdone and very distracting effects on the canopy glass - both of which can be addressed by a good re-painter I know. I enjoy flying her until she misbehaves and when she does I do wonder how realistic the flight model actually is and if the Just Flight Hawk is more accurate to this type of aircraft or just easier and more forgiving. The good news is, she isn't expensive and can be rented so I don't have to make a final decision today. At the moment she's in the 'I'm not sure' category. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
