A2A SIMULATIONSがT-6 テキサンをリリースした。
FSX版とPrepar3D版、セット版、アカデミック版が販売されている。
A2Aの他機種と同様に例によって、機能は豊富だ。
機能概要は下記の通り。
※原文ママ。
- Aircraft DNA technology re-creates actual engine and airframe vibrations
- A true propeller simulation
- Pratt & Whitney R-1340 supercharged radial engine captured and physically reproduced
- Both the front and rear cockpits and the entire aircraft gorgeously constructed with authentic metals, plastics, and rubber
- Physics-driven sound environment
- Complete maintenance hangar internal systems and detailed engine tests including compression checks
- Extensively flight tested the actual aircraft first hand by A2A Simulations pilots against the simulation
- Accu-Sim fluid flight modellng allows for aerobatics including accelerated stalls, snap rolls, and hammerheads
- Hyper realistic engine vibrations and harmonics pass through the airframe including the shock mounted cockpit panels
- True to life ground handling, makes landings forever challenging, just like the real T-6. You can hear and feel the large tires bite into the pavement
- Hand propping
- Three different canopies can be selected in real time
- Propeller hub can be removed, revealing a working propeller governor inside
- Digitrak autopilot with altitude hold reproduced by the book
- Optional direct cranking or direct inertial starter included
- Towing
- Dynamic ground physics including both hard pavement and soft grass modeling
- Primer-only starts are now possible. Accu-Sim monitors the amount of fuel injected and it’s effectiveness to start and run the engine
- Persistent airplane where systems, corrosion, and temperatures are simulated even when the computer is off
- Immersive in-cockpit, physics-driven sound environment from A2A engineered recordings
- Complete maintenance hangar internal systems and detailed engine tests including compression checks
- Piston combustion engine modeling. Air comes in, it mixes with fuel and ignites, parts move, heat up, and all work in harmony to produce the wonderful sound of a Lycoming 540 engine. Now the gauges look beneath the skin of your aircraft and show you what Accu-Sim is all about
- Authentic avionics with built-in, automatic support for many popular 3rd party avionics
- As with every A2A aircraft, it is gorgeously constructed, inside and out, down to the last rivet
- Designed and built to be flown “By The Book”
- Visual Real-Time Load Manager, with the ability to load fuel, pilots, and baggage in real-time
- Naturally animated pilot and co pilot with optional sunglasses, standard headphones or helmets
- 3D Lights ‘M’ (built directly into the model)
- Pure3D Instrumentation now with natural 3D appearance with exceptional performance
- A total audible cockpit and sound engineered by A2A sound professionals
- In cockpit pilot’s map for handy in-flight navigation
- Authentic fuel delivery includes priming and proper mixture behaviour. Mixture can be tuned by ear. It’s your choice.
- Airflow, density and its temperature not only affect the way your aircraft flies, but how the internal systems operate
- Real-world conditions affect system conditions, including engine temperatures
- Spark plugs can clog and eventually foul if the engine is allowed to idle too low for too long. Throttling up an engine with oil-soaked spark plugs can help clear them out
- Overheating can cause scoring of cylinder head walls which could ultimately lead to failure if warnings are ignored and overly abused
- Engine, airframe, cockpit panel and individual gauges tremble from the combustion engine
- Authentic drag from the airframe and flaps
- Authentic battery. The battery capacity is based on temperature. The major draw comes from engine starting
- Oil pressure system is affected by oil viscosity (oil thickness). Oil viscosity is affected by oil temperature. Now when you start the engine, you need to be careful to give the engine time to warm
- Eight commercial aviation sponsors have supported the project including Phillips 66 Aviation, Champion Aerospace, and Knots2u speed modifications.
