Description
The North American T-6 Texan also known as the Harvard to Commonwealth Nations, saw widespread use by the Allies during World War II as the principle trainer to teach pilots the finer points of advanced aviation and combat operations. Almost any pilot that flew fighters or fighter bombers during the war probably "cut their teeth" in this aircraft, earning it the nickname "Pilot Maker". It was not an intuitive or easy aircraft to fly and it was said of the Texan/Harvard 'if you could fly it, you could fly anything'. All told, more then 15,000 (of all variants) were produced before and during the war years, and they saw active service in multiple conflicts and militaries after the war, and atleast one remained in active service until 2016! Today, they can be seen at almost any airshow around the world thrilling all those that go to see them.

This particular T-6 Texan is a facsimile of the multitude of Texans used by the United States Army Air Corp. (USAAC) during World War II. The aircraft and it's associated systems closely resemble those on the real aircraft in both use and function. To get the best out of the aircraft I encourage you to read the information listed below and watch the tutorial video.

Specifications:
  • Max Speed: 190 Mph (160 Kts)
  • Range: 100 Km
  • Fuel Capacity : 198 U.S. Ga. (750L)
  • Crew: 2

Operation:

Please click the link for a full video tutorial on all specific systems pertaining to the T-6 Texan, SNJ-4, Harvard IIa & b, and the CAC Wirraway.

mysucha, I am sorry you're having trouble. I have ALOT of updating to do since the last DLC dropped. It's possible that something is wrong with the build, I will try to fix it ASAP.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

It doesn't work for me, I looked at the tutorial several times, but the engine just doesn't start.

a lot of museums just have everything sitting with no fluids at all in them so they cant run.

That said, I am aware of atleast a few museums or heritage organizations that fly their aircraft and do indeed leave the batteries in place. Sounds like (in the case you reference) it's more of a case of liability and general lack of knowledge by the ground staff.

Also, some aircraft might not have battery cut-outs, and leaving certain systems constantly charged might be bad for them, especially if said system is old and irreplaceable.

Tmccanna, interesting reason for the lack of a battery. Typically it was for a number of other reasons (far as I'm aware). A) you don't need to buy batteries for unflyable aircraft. B) if it is flyable, but isn't taken out everyday, the battery will drain and require charging, so you might as well just put a fresh one in when you plan to fly it; C) No battery, no corrosion or leakage.

"I’ve also gotten word of a post mortem performed on an engine of a museum’s airplane in which their radial engine folks insisted that the engine “just self-destructed.” They insisted because they were certain it was perfectly okay to pull the prop backwards when they detected a hydraulic lock before the flight in which the engine failed catastrophically." and this is why museums usually dont ever even put a battery in anything they have

Tmccanna, which "people" are those? Anyone who operated or maintained them probably knew why they were doing it...or so I would hope.

yeah apparently people think spinning the propellor backwards will drain the oil but instead it just pumps oil back into the intake and makes the engine pretend its not hydrolocked
