    Asobo T-6D Improvement Mod

    REQUIRES "Reno Expansion Pack" T-6 (2020)
    WORKS with NATIVE T-6 (2024)

    Discord

    This mod seeks to add and/or improve fidelity and functionality of the Asobo/MS Reno T-6 Texan. 
     Updates will continue as I continue to identify  and address weak spots and bring further improvements. This is just the beginning. Plenty of additions/improvements planned over time!

    COPYRIGHTS TO INDIVIDUAL MODELS REMAIN WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE HOLDERS

    Special thanks to those who contributed to this mod:
    • FlyNavy for providing critical real-world operating information and feedback.
    • GotGravel/GotFriends for keeping their code unobfuscated, which made laying the foundations of this mod possible.
    • DieselMadness for suggesting many fixes based on real-world T-6 ops.
    • Too many others to list!

     

    Completed fixes:
    • Dome spinner modeled - selectable by cockpit switch
    • Gear doors - selectable by cockpit switch* Smoke system (bound to Logo Lights)
    • Opening canopy
    • Engine sounds tweaked 
    • Realistic primer logic prevents starting when engine is not primed properly, and changes based on air temperature (further improvements planned) 
    • Engine/airframe vibration resonates through instruments, canopy, and rudder pedals
    • Completely functional rear cockpit with new camera definition
    • Custom ground handling physics based on input of real world T-6 pilot/owner
    • Revamped flight model with CFD and Soft-Body physics
    • Revamped engine model to match real world performance within 3% margin of error
    • Revamped starter switch logic; Allows real world startup procedure
    • Pilot avatar visibility toggle (2020 users)
    • Rudder trim orientation corrected
    • Tail nav light emissive corrected
    • Revamped flaps logic - more closely matches real system (more improvements to come - see bug #3)

    Major To-Dos Planned
    • Engine damage modeling and permanence. Rough starts, failures, etc
    • Implement new prop physics system 
    • Fuel system rewrite for accurate reserve tank standpipe behavior
    • Flaps system rewrite for true-to-life function
    Now for the bugs...
    • Known bolt attached to the canopy animation visible near pilot left hip. Nothing we can do with it.
    • 2024 Only - cockpit model clipping through fuselage (to be fixed)
    • Flaps lever does not move when triggered via hardware inputs. This will be addressed later.
    • 2024 Only - Prop hub textures broken due to new propeller handling in 2024. Nothing we can do with it currently.

    Happy flying!

    Hello.

    Thanks for this. I see since SU7 yesterday, this mod is not working, and some liveries not showing. Will it be fixed?

    Hello RandallSnow,
    Thank you for this excellent creation. It is a great contribution to the FS2024 community. Regarding the activation of the "Dome Spinner" control (the propeller cap)—labeled "A" on the cockpit radio panel—it works when starting with the engine already running on the runway. However, it does not work in "Cold & Dark" mode when starting from a parking spot. Is this normal? Once again, congratulations on the work you've done.

    Bonjour RandallSnow,
    Merci pour cette excellente réalisation. Bel effort de participation pour la communauté FS2024. Concernant l'activation de la commande du "Dome Spinner" (capuchon d'hélice), lettre A de la radio dans le cockpit, celle-ci fonctionne en démarrant moteur allumé sur une piste . En mode "Cold & Dark", sur une place de stationnement elle ne fonctionne pas. Est-ce normal ? Encore toute mes félicitations pour le travail réalisé.

    Good evening, Eddy.

    It sounds like something has broken within MSFS. I know the upcoming SU7 update is going to break more things, and I am trying to prepare as fast as I can. I will check into this and get it resolved. Thank you for alerting me!

    How so? Currently the flap lever isn't animated properly, but the flaps respond to key commands/controller inputs.

    Still waiting for engine failures update...witchout this, for me DCS player this aircraft is no fun to fly. Warbirds needs engine failures to be realistic and fun to fly, traing military WW2 aircraft like this one too.

    I totally agree, and I have many "wishlist" items to really bring this bird to life. Sadly I'm just one guy trying to balance business, personal, and passion projects like this.

    Your support is appreciated, and I definitely plan to carry on these projects.

    Very good, thank you. Would you consider enabling pilots to show up AI and multiplayer versions? that would cap it off I think :)

    hi, really enjoying the mod so far; however, the canopy seems to be stuck. Would love to be able to open it if that's still possible.

    Depending on the mouse input method you're using, you either need to right click on the handle to unlock it, then left click and drag to open, or left and right click at the same time to unlock then drag normally.

    MSFS 2024 version. I can open the canopy (yay!!) but I just can't start from cold & dark. The fuel pressure (as set by the wobble pump) goes down way too quickly - and the engine just can't fire up. Runway starts are fine.

    It's a bit delicate right now, for sure, I will be fixing it. I find alternating between the wobble pump and primer 1:1 usually gives enough time to toggle the primer before pressure drops below 3PSI. Worst case scenario you can also click on the primer rapidly while cranking the starter. 😅

    I was trying this mod and had the same problem, but I just assumed I had left a valve open or did something wrong! Glad to know it's not just me.

    Hello, this is a great mod but I can't steer on the ground, the aircraft always turns to the left, is there a technique or is there a steering wheel lock I have missed? Thanks

    If you push the stick fully forward it should unlock the tailwheel to be free-castoring. While the stick is neutral or aft the tailwheel is locked and requires a fair amount of rudder/braking/throttle to swing the tail around for ground operations.

    The current implementation is not perfect by any means, and will be updated at a future date.
