T-6A Texan II

Post by Corvallis »

Hello all,

I was just trying to find out if there is a release date for the T-6A Texan II for the public. I'm currently in the pipeline for Pilot Training in the USAF and I've used the A2A T-6A in some preparatory courses. I have my own Sim setup in my home and I would really like to be able to purchase a license for the A2A version of the T-6A, as the graphics engine and VR support in the version of the T-6A I have in X-Plane leave a bit to be desired compared to the P3D Model.

I understand there may be some contractual obligations regarding the commercial model the USAF uses, but I was wondering if there are any options available or if I'm just out of luck.

I filled out a support form on the website asking this, but it's been a week or two so I figured I'd ask here.

Thanks!

Pure speculation on my part, but the big issue here might be A2A's concern about technology exposure to competing developers for military contracts. Milviz, a P3D developer also with a US Military contract, pulled public versions of their T-38C simulation for P3D from the mass market for similar reasons (I think). Or I could be completely wrong about all of this.

There was some official discussion in May/June 2019 probing the idea of releasing the newly revealed Texan II to the public as an unfinished product. I assume the P3D conversions of FSX aircraft took priority, maybe along with supporting the military contract. Now the priority is adapting to MSFS and the simultaneous development of the Aerostar. But who knows what the future holds once MSFS is sorted out?

I appreciate the replies, but that's not really what I'm trying to get at here.

I'm just trying to be able to use a simulation that I've used at work on my personal copy of P3D. I know that the product exists, and what fashion of development it is in. I'll sign whatever NDA or contract they need for it to not be released. This isn't really a case of it being an unfinished product as far as I know, its a product that is only available to a specific userbase.

I think the weird part is that there are clearly A2A staff that peruse this forum, and that there's a support question submitted and neither have been replied to. Not a no, just radio silence.

I would just appreciate an actual answer from A2A. Even a PM if this isn't a topic to be broached on the forums.

Thanks

Here's a great interview with Scott Gentile describing A2A's T6II project for those interested:

Reviving this thread as I am also in search of the T-6A for UPT practice, can someone point me in the right direction? I tried to submit a DM, but I havent "participated in enough conversations".
