PREVIEW : Announcing the T-34C Turbo Mentor ! This all-new rendition of the ever-popular T-34C will be available at AlphaSim very soon. The screenshots show the stunning FSX version, which is full-FSX standard with all the features). The high-detail v-c (front and rear) will feature AlphaSim's RealGauge technology. A soundset is included. FS9 version available also.

New addition to the USA section - the T-34C Turbo Mentor ! AlphaSim's T-34C has been built as always to showcase both RealGauge technology and FSX visual effects, but in this case also to demonstrate the extent to which the cockpit systems of a light aircraft can be replicated in the sim. In fact, the model has been put together as a proposed training aid for the US Navy - Ensigns current on the type assisted with the development of the project, maximum realism is assured. All the usual and expected systems are replicated (in accordance with the T-34 Operator's Manual), however several highly innovative features (which inhibit normal operation and can even cause visible damage if procedures are not followed) are also included. Reading the (160 page, detailed, illustrated .pdf format) manual on this one is essential - there are several unique and realistic surprises in store for those who do not pay attention ! One special feature is the ability to use the blind-flying hood for IFR training. AlphaSim's VLE system (Visual Load Editor) is used to toggle pilots, wheel chocks, canopy and exhaust coverings and the blind-flying hood. Night lighting is also taken care of, both the usual flood as well as separate instrument lighting is present. The rear cockpit is modelled as fully as the front, so FSX users will be able to replicate true instructor-pilot on-line flying. SIX accurate, high-definition texture sets are supplied, all with custom specular maps as well as amazing bump-mapping of the rivets and other prominent features. A 'lite' model version is included which lacks the rear cockpit for those who do not want to use the rear cockpit and maximise the FPS on lower-end systems. A Turbine Sounds Studios FSX-specific soundset provides the typical turboprop howl. Flight dynamics of course match the published specs and were approved by our US Navy pilot friends who beta-tested the model extensively. We think this model sets a new benchmark in systems modelling for light aircraft, to the extent that it could conceivably benefit a real-world student pilot. This level of accuracy and innovation is now the standard we will provide with all future releases.
