Legacy of the Sky: Texans and Harvards Vol.1 By SkyUnlimited For FSX / Service Pack 2 / Acceleration Expansion

The T-6 Texans, and their Harvard counterparts, are perhaps some of the most important and crucial aircraft in the Allied Victory of WWII. They were the cornerstones of allied training aircraft, thus earning them the nickname “The Pilot Maker.” Thousands of these beautiful aircraft were produced, and over 54 nations used this aircraft. Another testament to the Texan can be found in the fact that it was one of the few WWII aircraft to see service in the Korean War. In addition, the Texan has become a very popular racing platform, earning acclaim especially in the Reno Stead Air races. SkyUnlimited Productions has taken great measures to replicate these great aircraft in the most historic and accurate fashion for your enjoyment. The Texans and Harvards are truly a Legacy of the Sky.

SkyUnlimited's Texans and Harvards have been designed with strong emphasis on realistic flying and operations. All switches, levers, and buttons have been animated and labeled. Flight information and procedures are included in the checklist, and we have done our best to make this a true “Pilot Maker” experience.

Andrew Page, 04/01/2009
    I'm a little undecided about this package. Some features I like very much; the flight dynamics for example (as you might expect with Jerry Beckwith behind them). The 3D panel graphics and gauges compare not unfavourably with other products in this price range. However, although the 3D panel features a RMI (appropriate to this vintage aircraft), the relevant frequencies cannot be tuned from the 3D panel. To tune any radio frequencies you have to open a 2D pop-up, and a very ordinary generic 2D pop-up at that. For me this really ruins the sense of immersion in flying this old aircraft. Will I keep this aircraft on my system? Perhaps. Could it be made very good indeed with a bit more work? Almost certainly.
