Reviews (by Paul)

I reviewed this 2024 version earlier, but need to modify my review now that I have flown it more. Despite it being beautiful work, there are many problems that need addressing in the transition from FS2020 to FS2024. The EFB offers fewer options in FS24 - there is no way to add rear pilot (instructor), no way to add/remove canopy cover or chocks, etc. The flight model needs substantial tuning to make it more stable, the braking power is far too weak, and there seems to be no way to turn on radio communication with ATC. Please address these problems, Inibuild! As it stands, this aircraft is far better in FS2020!

Beautiful work in bringing this old and much beloved trainer back! Gorgeous textures with many liveries to choose. Throttle apparently behaves as original, and can be a bit tricky, especially for go-arounds and touch-and-go's - so read the manual carefully! I found the flight model a bit slippery, and improved it (for my tastes) by increasing roll stability from 1.0 to 2.2, yaw stability from 1.0 to 1.5, pitch stability from 2.0 to 2.2, and aileron effectiveness from 1.0 to 1.5 - all these in the "flight_model.cfg" file in "SimObjects>Airplanes>inibuilds-aircraft-t33>common>config" folder. Overall, love flying this old warhorse! A couple suggestions to Inibuild - please make both pilots visible, as this is a trainer - and also please make the German livery that is in your video available. Thanks so much for a great T-33!
