Stephen Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 NEWS! - Aircraft Update : AOA updates Texan II to v1.2 XP12 One of the most active aircraft since the launch of X-Plane 12 for the X-Plane Simulator has been the T-6A Texan ll from Angle of Attack Simulations (AOA). From the initial release (XP12) to the comprehensive update v1.1 on June 3rd, now here is another comprehensive update to version v1.2. X-PlaneReviews did an update review to the X-Plane 12 conversion here; Aircraft Review: AOASimulations-T6A Texan II X-Plane 12 Version 1.2 XP12 (July 16th 2023) We added a basic autopilot [even though the real T-6A does not have one] for our customers who wanted something to hold the airplane at altitude and on course during long cross country flights. A separate Autopilot User Guide pdf is provided in the T-6A root folder / manuals sub folder for customer to study. We improved the unique T-6A integrated Traffic Advisory/Vertical Speed Indicator to bring it even closer to the capabilities of the real thing by adding your altitude / AI target plane altitude delta reporting in the upper right corner of the display. New optional pop up/out radios and engine data displays. The GPS navigation radio, Radio Management Unit (RMU) and the three engine data (primary, alternate and systems) electronic displays can be popped up/out from the panel and resized/repositioned. After you pop them out once, resize and position them to your liking, then close them they remember your setting and popout the next time exactly where and how you set them. Neat, and they are VR compatible. New T-6A_vrconfig.txt file in T-6A root folder. It presets the pilot POV to a point recommended by one of our VR capable customers. Main landing gear wheel brake fade monitoring annunciator built into the Engine System Display (ESD). This warns of brake fade due to high speed, continuous or heavy brake use that can lead to HOT BRAKES and eventual brake failure. 41 page, updated X-Pane 12 version 1.2 User Guide. Like military -1 Flight Manuals we use solid black, vertical bars to highlight new information in our User Guides. So, if you are familiar with the previous versions of the T-6A User Guide (XP11 1.0, 11 1.1, XP12 1.0) these bars help guide you to the newest information. Otherwise, we highly recommend you read the whole UG before attempting to operate this model, because the entire cockpit and basic operating principles are closely modeled on the real thing. The Model 3000/T-6 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with enclosed tandem seating for two. It is powered by single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68 turboprop engine in tractor configuration with an aluminum, 97-inch (8.1 ft; 2.5 m), four-blade, constant-speed, variable pitch, non-reversing, feathering propeller assembly and has retractable tricycle landing gear. The aircraft is fitted with Martin-Baker Mark 16 ejection seats and a canopy fracturing system. The T-6 is a development of the Pilatus PC-9, modified by Beechcraft to enter the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) competition in the 1990s. A similar arrangement between Pilatus and British Aerospace had also been in place for a Royal Air Force competition in the 1980s, although that competition selected the Short Tucano. The aircraft was designated under the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system and named for the decades-earlier T-6 Texan. This X-Plane aircraft was developed using the official USAF 1T-6A-1 Flight Manual and SNFO (Student Naval Flight Officer) P-880 Aircraft Systems explanatory guide.
